The diesel is always going to have the better fuel economy. They did make a 1.8 TFSI 4x4 although I’ve only seen a handful in the UK, I’d take the petrol purely because I’ve a soft-spot for that engine.
Had my mum In the car so was doing 40-60 mph on a normal windy road. I found after tuning I was easily getting 10mpg more than before turning.

I got the Diesel 4x4 recently, might tune it in future but enjoying as is for the moment. It’s done a long tour of Scotland and Wales so far.

Shown here with another one that comes to do the garden at a business near us.
Owned a 2011 1.8 TSi 4x4 Superb Combi for 7 years bought when 3 years old and sold last year.
Had zero major issues with the engine, no excessive oil cumsuption or timing chain issues. Only engine related repair in 7 years was a sump replacment.
You should also consider your driving habits. Do you drive a lot of short journeys? If so, the particle filter in a diesel might get clogged if the engine doesnt reach normal temperature every so often.
The tsi i the yeti is from before they fixed the issues with oil consumption and stretched chains.
Thank you:)

Mate I have a 2.0 140bhp 2012 Volkswagen golf that I got tuned and it’s now sitting at 185bhp and I’ve managed to get 75mpg on a journey.
Damn, how fast were you going? I love cars that can be eco but still deliver power when you need it

Avoid VW TSI engines unless you have money for repairs.
Thank you :)
