New VRS, which one to go for

[g_tee]

It is the only choice for a petrol head who doesnt want to pay out the nose when he has to commute 25K a year (like I do!)

[Mr Wheels]

I have decided to go for a new Vrs but can't decide on which engine and gearbox to go for. I currently drive a diesel Mondeo St but find the power band very narrow and find it difficult to drive smoothly, I find myself in the wrong gear for swift driving in to and away from roundabouts etc (no Im not a boy racer) I fancy the 2.0T FSI DSG. What are the real world MPG figures for this engine fitted with the DSG box. If i go the diesel route does the DSG gearbox suit a diesel engine.

one final question is about which one would be the best bet from a re sale point of view.

Thanks

Andy

I'd have added the DSG box & paddles as well, but then again, I'd have the 170CR because I don't like filling up often & I like the torque of a diesel.

To bad the goverment here in Portugal want´s to fill their pockets up with our car taxes.

Surely would have picked up a Vrs instead of a 1.6 tdi cr Elegance Pack
