1.4 TSI GT question...

[OldBoy22]

Well I ordered the GT today and plumped for the TDI rather than the TSI. I tried them both and to be honest just preferred the diesel. TSI was a sweet engine but it couldn't 'torque' me outta the TDI (see what i did there).

I've had a diesel CC for a little while now and tend to do longer runs than the missus. Never really had too many issues with the DPF as i give it a good run a couple of times every week, here's hoping this continues. Gave the GT TDI a good test drive today, 10 miles or so in Sport with a some boot and it read 34mpg, with only 20 miles on the clock.

Anything around 50mpg after i've done a few miles is good enough for me, just looking forward to enjoying the car!

Out of interest what tires am i likely to have fitted to it? It's on the standard, and rather nice 17" dijon's.

I had these:

They aren't bad. Good grip. But they aren't the most fuel efficient - perhaps that's the problem I'm having! Would much rather have these:

Brand new out, replacing the old version that had much worse specs.

My GT came with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyres. Agree that the Dijon alloys are very nice. Considered the optional alloys but thought that the dijons look sporty without being too flash.
