All the fuss about the 8V...

Not much in it in terms of MPG tbh.

quite a bit in 0-60 though.

waste of time looking at sh!te like this, in the real world things are different

I think the 'real world' economy is a bit different.

Something is going on between DH and Kells, I'm sure of it.

They were real world road test figures (autocar) I believe.

its all hype  Wayne mate , iv had all 3 of these cars, on paper the VR should be pretty quick but in the real world they aint, especially when a 1.3 gti swift can easily outpace one up to 100 (on paper this is not the case, same for many other cars)

i only ever take these type of figures with a pinch of salt till i have actually driven the car..  did autocar really do the test or did they just get the results from VW.. end of the day you know where im coming from and im sure many wont agree but.....

nothing wrong with a an 8v mate, i mostly had mk2 16`s and loving my 8v anni at the mo.
nice looking motor btw

[kells]

I think the VR is a fantastic car, fuel consumption is poor compared to other cars but so what? You buy a VR for the noise more than anything, it still pulls, and even though I haven't driven one, VRDan (friend of mine) does and been in it many times, it's a lot of fun just being a passenger let alone driving it I imagine.

I agree mate, I've been in a VR - and nothing quite matches that sound. I actually had an oppurtunity to buy a pretty good cond one for £500, but £2800 insurance made me think twice.
