I know the diesel vs petrol debate has been done to death, but I'm really quite undecided on whether to go for the 1.4 COD engine, as opposed to the 2.0 TDI which I've had in my last 2 Audi's. I currently have the 2.0 TDI 184PS engine in the TT, but have had an A3 (8V) before with the 150 PS engine.
At the moment this is my typical commute to work:
25 miles each way
About 60% town driving and 40% motorway (in terms of clock time)
52.8 mpg
Traffic on the M8 was particularly bad tonight and fairly slow in places, but on a good day 55-57 mpg is possible:
On paper there seems to be a lot of positives about the 1.4 COD and a few people on here speak highly of it. I can see both sides of the petrol/diesel argument. My overall yearly mileage is around 7K.
My question is... what do you reckon I am likely to see from the 1.4 COD engine in terms of mpg on my daily commute to work, assuming same driving style etc. All opinions welcome.
