The new 2.0 TDI seems to disappoint quite a few owners of MK7 Golfs or new Audi A3s, as the engine does not seem to deliver the savings expected compared to the previous model, or even anything close to the expected MPG advertised by VW, despite both cars being also much lighter.

It's true that most cars reviewed and tested seemed to have the adaptive suspensions. None of the new A3s tested by the press had sport or S-line suspensions either...
