Looking at joining the MK2 Clan

[mrwotto]

Think I will be opting for a 1.4 driver due to insurance and petrol costs, hope you dont mind me joining in on the mk2 forum tho even tho it wont be a gti

drivers are 1.6. you can get 1.3 cl and c's and a 1.1 and a 900cc  (thats gonna be s h i t) you can also get 1.6 and 1.3 ryders and 1.8 gl's etc

or sell the mk3 gti, get a nice mk2 gti and another economy car mk2 or 3 cos mk2 gti's are more fun than mk3's

My 8v will readily do 40mpg at 70 on m-way.

Just averaged 37 going from Hudds to Bristol to Liverpool n back. And i may have crept over 70 at times 

Its much more economical than my old 1.6 driver.

Hi, I have a 1989 MkII Gti, it averages 38 - 40 MPG. I have also just bought a new Renault Megane 1.5 cDi with a claimed 60 MPG, actually 52 MPG. The Megane is great to drive and has amazing accelaration and overtaking power, however, I would rather drive my Gti anyday. It is so much more alive and responsive.

Just do it.

my 8v does 25 mpg.... but i just can't help flooring it?

I would much prefer to get a gti, but not sure if the insurance is gonna be ecomical, esecially with my redunancy etc.

Oh well have to wait and see
