Both will be much better than you have the 2.0 cdti is a good balance of power and eco and cheaper tax the 1.6 turbo is fast but high on fule and high on tax up to you really

1.6t is good but im getting about 25 mpg on average but I like hooning it. then you've got to consider if you could live with the m32 gearbox

Thanks guys, definitely going for 1.6T I don't do so many miles anyway cause my van so happy days!

Diesel has a dpf so if you don't do many miles then it's more hassle than its worth.

Only if you don't know how to drive it properly.

I've done just over 20,000 mostly town stop/start in almost 4yrs and not had a single DPF issue.

Do you go on regular long runs?

I've done 110000 miles without an issue lol all motorway miles though.

Not regular really mate maybe once every 6months I'll have a 200+ trip out somewhere.

But I always stretch her legs on dual carriageways locally.
