New here - just posted in the newbie section - hello again
Looking at a used (3-4 year old) DS3 to replice my golf TDI and have decided to go petrol this time as I only do around 10k per year. I have to use my car for work and most of the journeys are short hilly town trips. I understand the THP engine can be quite efficient but what would it be like on fuel on multiple short trips? My commute to work is about 8 miles each way of normally free flowing traffic.
I would like a DSport THP but if it's going to guzzle fuel in those circumstances then I will have to go for a vti.
Does anyone have experience doing a similar type of mileage and journeys in a 1.6 THP DS3?
I'm aware through reading here and other places of the general THP issues, am I right in saying the 155hp version is the one to go for?
I have test driven a 1.6 VTI but not a THP yet.
Any advice appreciated - thanks
