Hey guys this is my first post on here and I was just wondering if I could have some advice from some of you!
I'm currently about 4 weeks away from buying one of the following:
Seat Leon FR 2.0 184TDI
Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8TSI
However, I'm unsure which one to get for a range of reasons.
I'm leaning towards the leon due to the fact that it's more within my budget ( £10,000 - £10,500 ), it's also cheaper to tax and insure. However, I only cover around 12000 miles a year and I'm concerned that I will run into issues with the DPF & EGR valve etc. My mileage consists of a wide range of short ( 15 min journeys on b-roads ) medium ( 35 mins flat out on A-roads ) and long journeys ( hour of both A-roads and city driving ).
Having never owned a diesel before makes me lean back towards the Ibiza Cupra. However, there's so few around that are within my price bracket, also they cost more to tax, insure and no doubt run.
So my questions are as follows
Any Ibiza Cupra owners out there, what's your MPG figures like and have you ever ran into any problems?
Any leon 2.0tdi owners, have you ever ran into any issues regarding the DPF / EGR failing and would I be likely to face this given the miles I do? Do they feel as quick as an ibiza cupra might? Any known faults or problems?
Any input would be much appreciated, thanks guys.
