You've waded in with the wrong argument there bails

Maybe I've misunderstood.

The days of "a car that size needs a 1.6l engine" are obviously gone, so you can't compare engines based purely on the capacity.

But you can compare hp and torque figures between turbo petrol, turbo diesel and N/A engines.

Comparing petrol to diesel.
Apples and oranges.

See above!

There are separate arguments occurring, newer vs older and smaller capacity turbo vs larger capacity N/A.

Petrol engines have always been smoother than diesels, I don't need to look out the window to know when my taxi has arrived.

Simpsons pop up on my Facebook occasionally, probably because I've been searching around for deals at times.

Mileage really is the killer for any decent lease deals.

To an extent, true.

My Skoda lease deals have always been 3ppm though so not a massive issue unless mega miles.

No they're not!
Top Gear even ran a feature to demonstrate the exact opposite!

I've never really looked at it that much to consider just paying for the extra mileage. At 20,000 miles over that's only £600 across two years, which doesn't sound too bad.

10ppm seems more usual though?
