R Line 130TDI or 155TSI Petrol model

[R Line TIGUAN TDI or Pet]

Did you end up test driving either? I'm looking at the 130TDI with all the options (inc aftermarket leather and heated seats fitted by dealer) for $51k RRP and the 155TSI is also $51k RRP with same options, not sure which way to go, read that the 155TSI can consume like 13l/100km in real world urban driving?

Yes I did
The 130tdi was far more impressive in our eyes than the 155tsi in so many ways.

well ended up putting a deposit down on a 155tsi today, financially it worked out better than the 130tdi (cheaper) plus I would have had to get aftermarket leather in the 130tdi. Car is arriving in January, I just hope the fuel consumption is around the 10-11l/100km on normal city use!

Congratulations!

As long as there aren't many roadworks it could be around 11L/100km. Otherwise, when it comes to the fuel economy there isn't much of the difference between city and combined economy for the TDI and also it's much more forgiving to the lead footed ones when it comes to the fuel economy than the TSI engines (any petrol engines).

But, just seeing your signature, you most likely know what I mean.
