Do we know that is going to happen though and when? 60 miles a day, do you think a petrol could match the mpg figures of a diesel?
The ecotsi is out of my price range.
As for the running costs; I am lucky that my wife works at a VW garage so gets good rates for serving, etc
The Ecotsi is out of your price range but the 184 Diesel is within it? The petrol is about £2k cheaper new. One of the things that has been mentioned by the government is increasing tax on Diesel fuel and lowering it on unleaded, again we will not know specifically what that means until it is about to happen but some speculation is that it could be 10 - 15 pence per litre more expensive in order to discourage diesel engines, the irony of all this is that governments for the last 20+ years have been encouraging us to go diesel to now change there minds.
Just put them in the boot. The boots on these hatchbacks are quite a decent size
Thanks for the heads up re emissions, what a ball ache. Best remember to ask the seller before I make the trip to view it
i'm almost 100% sure none of the 5F leon diesel engines are affected by the emissions scandal/fix
It's the EA189 diesel engine that's affected. The 5F Leons all got the newer EA288 engine.
