Really need your help folks, thanks in advance...can't decide between the 2 cars above...80/20 City driving...I really want a tdi so have a few questions...
1) will my city mileage between the 2 cars be equivalent? I read that in the city, TDIs won't give the mileage they should? If I pay a premium for the TDI, I would like it to have better mpg in the city than the 1.8T
2) is it bad for a TDI to only be driven in the city. I'm only 6 miles from work, it may not even have time to warm up...we only do a 100 mile highway trip 1-2 times a month.
3) I heard something called regens like in regeneration and that the TDI would be at risk of getting carboned up given minimal highway driving...is this bad for the car? Will it require more repairs after warranty?
So given the above, which should I buy??
Thanks folks...
