Hi everyone,
can you help? I am deliberating over which engine to choose here. I am ordering an A3 company car and I will be doing long commutes on busy motorways with an annual mileage of about £20K a year.
The thing is that my company car tax saving with the petrol is £720 a year. The cost of the engine on the car scheme is the same as the diesel. I am wondering whether it's worth going for the petrol given the tax saving and also petrol is increasingly less expensive than diesel. Also, it comes with a smoother 7spd dsg than the 6spd dsg with the diesel.
i am worried about mpg though. I had a 1.4tsi 122 for a while and it was about 39mpga average although a lovely smooth engine. Is the 140 version a good bit more economical?
