I am going to keep looking would be ideal if I could find one of the 2020+ models now as they are back to being 280ps + 400nm of torque isntead of 350nm and 280/272ps. Tbh I don't care where the car as long as it's England Wales or Scotland. The l&k 190TDI I have now I travelled 2hr 45 and 153 miles to get it as it was in silver with black leather, has the rear wiper and also the digital cockpit and only had 2830 miles on the clock, at the time there was another which was in Exeter in petrol blue also had the rear wiper and black leather but had analogue dials and just over 6k miles and was the same price. I don't even look at the sportline models, starting with the fact they have alcantara seats but ultimately when you have a l&k how can you settle for something with less spec? I know I can't. There are people at work with 2016-2019 mercedes, audis and BMWs and their jaws dropped when they see the feature list of my car and apart form the digital dash (at the time because my car is pre facelift) the rest of features are all standard.

Thank you very much for this.. I have just seen it unfortunately it has cream interior, With my kids I absolutely cannot have cream interior. The exterior colour is beautiful though, Shame. Thank you very much for the info.

Your right tbh, I am more leaning towards getting one. I can't afford a brand new one so I need to see if any come up on the market. It needs to be atleast a 2018/19+ l&k, with back leather and rear wiper though which is very hard to find.

Thank you very much

Thank you for your reply, I have alot to think about after all these replies. Thank you for your reply, so I am seeing the average seems to be around 28-30mpg.

Lol, tha k you very much for your input, I certainly don't take the car to high Rpms at all and infact I should have mentioned from the start that this 38-40mpg is done on Eco mode and doing the same journey is normal mode I only get around 31-33mpg.

I have been working early shifts most of the year so far and it has been really cold recently 6 - -2 degrees and my local dealers recommend warming the car up for 5-10 mins as my journeys are so short. That's why I let it warm up for 10 minutes As when I'm starting work at 5 and leaving for work at 4.30 I am at work by 4.43.

Thank you so much for this response. On average it's not a great deal more I am getting from a diesel considering I have alot less power. 390ps is nice, who did your tuning?

I know my journey isnt long it's actually 12 mins during the early morning and 20-25 during the daytime so I do actually let the car warm up for 10 minutes before I travel. Your right though a petrol would definitely be more fun and I do miss that about my 220 but it I go back definitely has to be a 272/280.

Thank you very much, there are times when my car does around 28-34mpg under the same conditions which for a diesel isn't very good. I got rid of my 2016 SE-L 220PS as that thing wa seriously drinking fuel that was only getting around 22-24mpg under same conditions, took it to different dealers they said they couldn't find any faults but clearly there had to be. Also around town it was getting 18-20mpg. I do miss having a petrol though but just wanted to see if I should really go back and hope that the next one will be alot better on fuel.

For all those who own a 280PS or 272PS can you provide me a average fuel economy please. I am interested in getting a 272PS if I can find one in l&k with black leathers and rear wiper. However I wanted to get an idea of fuel economy. My regular commute is 10 miles to work via 1 mile of B roads, 3 miles of dual carriageway and 6 miles motorway and then return home. I currently have a 2019 l&k 190TDI and over this 20 miles round trip per day I average 38-40mpg.
