Hi all. I've currently got a 66 plate Leon Cupra 290 so I'm not exactly looking towards economy. In this we generally average about 29 to 31 mpg at this time of year doing short journeys accross town. On longer journeys we can get mid to late 30s and in warmer months that can be over 40mpg when the car is really being nursed along.
Anyway I've had the Leon coming up for 4 years and I quite like the look of some Cupra Atecas around 20 plate. This would give us some extra boot space and headroom, newer car with less miles on and maybe the option of a tow bar to put a bike rack on.
Logically I expected a few less mpg - heavier car, potential for being in 4wd, less aerodynamic but I've seen mpg listed on Parkers of 29 to 31 which alarmed me given the later Leon Cupra 290 is listed on the same site at 35 to 38. Then I looked on a thread posted on here a while ago where mpg was often low 20s.
Just wondering what sort of mpg people are getting now there's more on the forums.
