Watched this vid after buying a 2nd hand (2010) manual gearbox 1.8 petrol Scout .......absolutely wonderful car with many of the present cars features , just a shame that there is no longer a petrol manual option in the Skoda UK range (but they exist on the European mainland). Come on guys give us some extra options please!
@@jackp-j1041 Difficult to recall (it was over 4 years ago now) but it wasn't excessive. IF I put an estimate it would be about 35mpg, which for a non-lightweight 4wd drive car is reasonable. I have also owned a 4wd diesel Yeti (109 bhp remapped to 180'ish) that was quite a bit more economical ie high 40's,low50's . The petrol 1.8 was remapped to ~210 bhp btw (from its standard 160)
@@AlanBeardEfviUK Thanks! Back then 35mpg wasnt too bad, and as you say, for a 200+hp AWD car, its very good! But with todays fuel prices, Ill opt for the diesel! Thanks!
@@jackp-j1041 Probably the wise choice, if you get the lower powered versions ie 109bhp, have a look at remapping....they do feel terribly sluggish without a boost

What sort of fuel consumption do you get from it? I cant decide between the 1.8tsi and the 2.0tdi
