Had my 2015 1.2 tsi dsg Elegance for year now and i'm swapping to another car tomorrow as I feel a bit let down with the economy. Pootling about 50 roads its ok, 40-50mpg if driven carefully. Hit the motorway and (i am guessing) the tall shape takes over and Doing 60 miles consisting of 2 mins around town, 10 mins a/b road then the rest mway at 70mph with cruise I have never cracked 40mpg. With my family in there and a bit of traffic its worse. My long term average for 10000 miles was 35mpg. Skoda had the car in for a road test and inspection and said "thats what they do" "thats good for one of them" "If you wanted better economy you should of bought a bigger engine". Apart from the mpg (and mirrorlink fiasco) I really enjoy the car to drive, engine is pokey, DSG is nice but can be taken at suprise at junctions if you dont quite stop, quick flick into s as you approach avoids this. Personally, I would go for the diesels

I also picked up a 1.2 tsi dsg on wednesday last week. first 500 miles from new and the economy is slowly coming up. Coming from a 210bhp octy vrs I was dreading the worst but I love it! Learnt how to fold the mirrors off the fob today too ha! (hold lock button when locking)

Stunning example, wish it was for sale a few weeks ago as I bought a standard one :( -
Thanks all, car had revo stickers all over it. I changed the maf as it wasnt a bosch one, the dv as it was ruined and the n75 for the newest one and its loads better. Looking forward to bill working his magic and seeing if anything else is wrong.
