nosnow3 Registered: 11/06/09 Posts: 1930	Quote: an Ibiza is a bit cheaper but still 12,000 euros (10,000 GBP) and even though i'm going diesel, I still want more power than what I have now, so a ZS diesel is not an option you have obviously not looked into tuning capabilitys into the engines then... upto 123bhp on some cars that have been mapped at the same place... chuck in a hybrid turbo, a turbosmart 2 unit and having a straight through pipe with a backbox on the end and your looking towards the good side of 150bhp with good fuel economy, no smoke on boost and even more power avilable as someones proved with a recent addition of AMG tips on the injectors but not having enough time to play with it yet... ooo and at 150 bhp your looking at 350NM of torque.... you will need a new clutch here lol ooo and unlike the older SEAT's you only need £30 on tax...

steviehouse Best Non ST Car of the Year 2013/2014 Registered: 10/05/10 Posts: 11614 Loc: Jubail, Saudi Arabia	thats one of the main reasons im thinking about diesels diesel is about 30-40 cents cheaper than petrol, this is partly why the tax is higher. i'm currently working out exactly how much I might save with a diesel considering the amount of miles I do Currently Euro95 is €1.60 (£1.40) and diesel is €1.26 (£1.10) _________________________ 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

steviehouse Best Non ST Car of the Year 2013/2014 Registered: 10/05/10 Posts: 11614 Loc: Jubail, Saudi Arabia	ive just done some quick calculations based on a focus and a leon, neither one will be cheaper per month to run, fuel will be less per month definitely, but the tax is 70 euros more each month for them and the insurance will be a bit more so even though diesel is cheaper, my ZS is economical enough and cheap enough to tax and insure to make a diesel not worth while _________________________ 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Tez Registered: 03/01/09 Posts: 2509 Loc: Co, DURHAM	Drove my mates seat leon FR 170 diesel after fitting a clutch to it and it was very quick in 3rd 4th and 5th gear the torque was great, would definately have a modern diesel car. My partner vicky has a 1.4 diesel fez on a 56 plate and it pulls a lot better than the 1.4 petrol we had, plus £30 a year to tax and 50+ mpg. _________________________ Fiesta ST200, K&N Panel Filter otherwise standard for now.
