I was very very tempeted to get an R32 and took one for a test drive which I thought was better MPG: : :cry: nearly got it for the noise alone , but was put off paying Bloody $400 road tax and for what untold potholes!! My Car has done 5000 miles from new. I await your replys? enjoy steve :laugh:

Seeing as in london its all about 0-30 i can assure you (after the last ED30 tried) 4wd makes it a fair bit quicker  :wink:

17mpg  :shocked: That is pretty poor!!

I would have to drive constantly over the speed limit to get down to that... or just drive everywhere @ 6k revs.

I would get that looked at tbh

What is there to look at though? In london its bloody stop start all the time, On motorway I can get 30 to 35 at 70MP in 6th gear. The car is still new though so it should get bit better 5000 on clock , its just coming into its own now (loseing up) Still costing me 60 to 70 quid a week fuel though. Regrets regrets regrets R32 should have got it!! Aho the next one will be the R20 Cant F----- wait !!  :laugh:
