Also, my brother has an M135i, he can get 30mpg out of it but gets far worse in stop start traffic, probably low 20's. Our Cmax never dips below 35mpg, so I think it really depends on driving conditions.
So to summarise I'd rather have an M140I than a 1L Cmax.
I thrash it constantly, and normal get 38mpg to 40mpg
And that's on a big car doing 0-60 in 5.5 secs
The efficiency of modern engines is getting really good. I could easily get mid 30's if I drove more economically which for a 3l turbo straight six is pretty amazing.
Just have hired a Seat Leon in Spain.
It’s the first hire car we’ve had in 10 years that hasn’t got piss poor performance. Pulls really well in 2nd.
Trouble is it gives no indication as to what engine it has in it, says TSI on the back and that’s it. I assume it’s the 1.4 125 or 150 PS.
Either way, it’s a nice engine, I’m looking for a car and whatever it is I’f be happy with it.
Is there an easy way to find out which varient it is?
Engine efficiency is getting good enough that other factors become more important quite quickly.
