Petrol or diesel Formentor?
Im seriously stuck here. I’ve the choice of a 1.5 TSi Cupra formentor or a 2 Litre Formentor…both 150bhp…both spec’d the same. My driving is really mixed. In one year I might only do up to 10,000km max (mostly city driving). Another year I might do 15-20,000 (longer journies). What should I go for and what would be best long term? HELP!

Hi Ciaran,
If you don't have a preference in terms of how they drive then I'd strongly suggest that the TSI petrol model is the better option. Sure, it might be slightly less economical on long motorway cruises, but it'll be far smoother and nicer to drive and in the long run will cost less to maintain. I'd be worried about future resale values of diesel, too.
