I owned 2 Audis with both these engines. The car is different but the engine and figures are the same as Q2. I see it like this:
*A3 1.6tdi, average 55.6mpg over 30,000 miles. This included trips all over Europe and loads of city driving. City would equal 45mpg, Long trip on the motorway would be 60mpg.
* Q2 2.0tdi Quattro S-Tronic average 40mpg over 20,000 miles so far. This included trips all over Europe and loads of city driving. City would equal 35mpg, Long trip on the motorway would be 50mpg ish.
Would i choose the 1.6tdi? No, never! its too weak and has the same power as a small city car. It also really struggles when accelerating on the motorway. I have the 190bhp 2.0tdi which isnt available in the UK so you will prob have to go for the 150bhp version.
WHY are you focusing on the 1.6tdi?? just economy??
No I am not just focusing on the 1.6, if you read my 1st post I have said I have found a Q2 with this engine, as I have been continuing to look I am now noticing that I am only seeing 1.6. Engines
Of course I do want my car to be economical (who doesn't)
My car currently does 47mpg and to fill up my 1 litre polo I am nearly £50 a week
My main concern is trading in my current car and the Q2 being a bit more thirsty, defeats the point of a diesel, potentially more costly fill ups per week, higher finance payments, and I've then had to pay a deposit and current negative equity on my current car
