Was thinking about this.
« on: 01 September 2011, 19:41 »
Basically I need a car to tootle about in that will carry sh!t such as bikes, tents, tvs and other random uni related crap and I want to swap my mk2 onto a classic policy. Anyone know anything about these? Seems like a very good car for £800  :lipsrsealed: and 35mpg is very economical in comparison to the golf  :grin: also 170bhp and 0-60 of 8 seconds isnt too bad either.

I believe that it has the same engine as the E30 325i Sports which are very good, solid and reliable engines. I do think the 35mpg is a bit optimistic though, they simply aren't good on fuel but that aside it could be a cracking motor, very well screwed together and a good work horse !

My brother had a 525 with the same engine, solid reliable but 35mpg in your dreams.
You are not old enough to get 35mpg out of it :grin:
