To be fair that's not to bad    just going to have to fight the urge of wanting plant the loud pedal all the time and after having an Eco friendly 1.6tdci focus for the last 2 years it might prove difficult lol

Going from a diesel focus to a VR is going to be wallet lightening in more ways than one..

good luck, I think you are going to need it, and a BIG wallet

Lol the focus is the 1st economical car I've ever owned my s13 200sx was a money pit with bottom ends going left right and centre plus fuel is was shocking, but before that there was 3  R5 GTTurbos then a S2 Rsturbo Subaru legacy Rs  oh and a *coughs*2.4 frontera don't ask why!! Oh and a little stint with a BMW540......so I can't see it being much worse than the above.....

Its very liveable when driving in eco mode but thats not why you drive a vr now is it 

Im only taking it easy for a few miles because of a top end rebuild but after say 100 miles its bouncing off the limiter again

These threads are telling me to sell the ABF and get a VR6.  Weekend use.

The ABF is fun on the lanes here. The lag is a bit VTec IMO though.

Whats ABF? Forgive me I'm not yet up to speed yet :-)

Abf is engine code. It's a 2.0 16v

My corrado VR6 averaged 29mpg over the winter, last summer i averaged about 31!

Il get 35/36 on a long run, but short runs around town it wont get over 20.

hang on, I've just sold my mk3 gti 8v because on average i'd get 28 mpg if I drove like my grandma, best I ever had was sat at 60 on the motorway and got 38mpg 
I buy the wrong cars
