Okay so in some circles the VW name is mud but it’s offspring the Skoda. The last few years the 1.6TDi and 2.0TDi have been the staple diet for leasing, company and taxi use but for example the current-

That’s 30hp in the TSi ACT than the larger TDi,
Same level of torque,
2.3 secs faster 0-100kph,
4.8 l/100km compared to 4.0 in the diesel,
with only an extra 9CO 2 g/km.
So no wonder Skoda and all the auto mags are expecting the petrol to outsell the diesel in not just private hands but in business circles also.
No prizes for guessing which one I’m ordering tomorrow at 10am (ye’, I’m not counting down the hours at all, nope, not me).
