Positives:

- Looks great/high spec from the factory
- Sounds amazing with exhaust/decat
- Haldex
- Pretty quick

Negatives:

- Running costs, fuel/insurance
- Not much tuning to be done without going down forced induction route

Same as above although you may find fuel costs aren't too bad if coming from a 1.8t

I easily average about 28mpg in town and 33/34mpg on the motorway.

Take one for a test drive

you could probably get better on motorways if you dont go over 3k on revs and cruise at 70mph
