Do I have problems with the engine??

Sounds like the issue is your right foot 

Don't worry about the fuel consumption, just enjoy your new(ish) toy

I am! 6000km in less than a month! 

I came back today at 3am, put the car outside the window. At 3.20am I got a parking ticket. Can you believe that?! 3.20AM!!!!! 

6k, Thats pretty good going. I didn't know the parking trolls worked that early in the morning anywhere in the world.

Car looks awesome y the way, wish I was brave enough to go for a white car.

I was also REALLY surprised this morning!!  What a waste of money that is! 

Dude, white is very special paint, not to everyones liking, but I LOVE it. Yes, it gets a bit dirty, but not THAT dirty. The biggest problem is that all scratches are visible on it. If someone opens his/her car door and slams into mine, even with little force, I see a black/gray scratch. These suck.  Otherwise, ze auto ist super! Molto bene!  Goes like a locomotive.  But need more power already.

Well, I do not NEED it, but I WANT it.

Yeah I know what you mean about the power. I had a Civic Type R before I bought this car which just didn't do it for me. Felt pretty weak in the gears and I got fed up of wringing its neck. One of the reasons I bought the Golf is that it is so easy to extract extra power.

I enjoyed the test drive and it is a quick car but I just want that little extra. Hopefully the Revo will keep me happy for a couple of years.

more like a couple of months, and then you will want a rocket engine installed in the boot.

Was just thinking the same lol.......so thanks to google...


  9 liters/100 km = 26.1349538 miles per gallon

 

I think Google is quoting a US gallon (as opposed to a 'proper' gallon) as 9 litres per 100kms equals just under 32mpg.

So Peskarik, you drive between 90 mph and 145 mph, blat about all over Europe, return nearly 32mpg and you want to know if your engine is dicky as fuel consumption is so bad?

Am I missing something here?

You are right, I tried with another converter, that uses Imperial gallons, and I get 32mpg. Opps

230bhp, heavy right foot, 32mpg = incredible fuel efficiency.

What an engine.
