    Default Engine Advice Please

    Hi All,

    Anyone have a 2.0T that could give me an idea what they are like to live with,

    What sort of mpg do you get, reliability issues, insurance cost compared to the vec B 2.0ltr sri

    Been told that the 2.0T is the best petrol engine to go for (2.2/2.2 direct) been put off the cdti’s after reading all the horror story’s, think the petrol could be cheaper in the long run.

    Thanks for any advice

    The 2.0t is a gem.

    I get 30 mpg round town and my office is 5 mins from my house so do a fair bit of stop start.

    I've had 41 mpg on motorway using cruise at 70 n 40 mpg without it.

    Get around 380 - 430 miles from tank depending on driving I do.

    I've just switched to v power and on second tank much more responsive and my mpg slightly up.

    I've averaged 32 ish mpg over 1800 miles.

    I stayed clear of 2.2 as two mates had them one went back after a week due to fuel pump. The older 2.2 I had in an astra coupe n mpg was terrible.
    150 bhp cdti has lots of issues n did not suit my stop start driving. Wife has the 120 bhp Saab 93 and although it does 40 round town it is very underpowered (IMO) and I constantly battle to keep it in power range.



    Love the car.
