I have had my L & K DSG TDI Estate for about 10 days now. The car is very well equipped and drives very well. It has been bought as a company car and replaces a 3.2 litre Vauxhall Omega Elite which is quite a hard act to follow. The L & K has all the toys that the Elite had, apart from Sat Nav which I was advised by the dealer was not all that good. The CD player is good, the seats are comfortable, if a little hard and much narrower than the Omega. The performance is good, perhaps not the equal of the Omega (which I have for sale if anyone is interested) but not far behind. The one thing I am slightly disappointed in is the fuel consumption which, according to the computer has averaged 40.2 over 800 miles of mixed motoring. Less than I had expected and far less than the 50+ figure that I have read here and elsewhere. I assume that it will improve a little but I cannot believe that it will improve by the 35% it would need to in order to get to the mid 50s. I think that perhaps the combination of the 140BHP engine, the DSG box and the weight of all the L & K toys combine to reduce the consumption. But time will tell. All in all I would say after 800 miles I am fairly satisfied, and nothing has fallen off yet!
