CTR to Leon Ref TDi Touring Edition

[typefern]

Hi

This is my first post so hi to everyone

I currently own a Honda CTR Premier and seem to be driving more miles using more fuel and with 2 kids and three doors its not the best.

I'm looking at buying a Mk2 Leon 2.0 TDi Ref Sport with touring bodykit, I just have a few questions to any owners.

Is there anyone who has made the change, what are your thoughts?

I hope to chip to 170 if its not already done, how much is it fill the tank and on average, how many miles do you get to the tank? (CTR £38/240miles Focus ST2 £40/200miles that was not really thrashing it)

Cheers in advance and any info that you might think will be useful please post.

Cheers John

John,

I was in the same boat as you, traded my focus ST2 in for the Ref sport with the kit on, must admit I'm well pleased. Plenty of torque to play with and so much more practical with kids!! Mine costs between £45-£50 to fill up from empty and I get somewhere around 450 miles drivng mostly around town, stop, start all the time and only small amounts of time at decent speeds. Revo quote that they can remap to 185 bhp (i think and very nearly 300lbs of torque for £499. Leaving mine for now, probably get it done in the future though. Another thing insurance has nearly halved as well, group 9 as I'm sure you know already. Anyway the choice is yours, i know what I'd do!!
