vr6 or gti

16v for me purley based on running costs.

in ten years the only thing i replaced was the coil pack.vr6's just have to be well maintained and the owner must know whats up.thats it..if you dont know what ur doing things can get bad fast.
but,its a wonderful car it gives u the power when u need it and the sound really makes it tough to drive slow.sometimes its almost as if the car were telling u to hit the gas.seriously.

wow...can really tell you like looking after your car then 

32 and 28 mpg isnt a whole world of difference TBH, im getting less that that in my volvo its a brick too which doesnt help 

why did that guy have to drive past me with his vr and why did i come straight home and sit on youtube  hes thrown me off what i wanted to do

vr6......the noise  mmmmmm  go on get the binge drinker

Vr6 higline.

all about the noise.

Ive had the ABF 16 and the vr6. They felt almost the same in power

I like the sound of a 16v... although v6's sound nice...

I dont know how youre getting those 8v mpg figures?

I get 45mpg in my 16v at 60mph and 50mpg in my mums 8v at 60... getting about 35 round town

Excellent quote!  

VR all the way, then go insane and supercharge it! Release the beast within!

Ive had a few of each & its all about the noise the engine gives, so there is no competition

VR6 all day long, who gives a hell about a couple of MPG,

16v =  

VR6 =  

say no more!

What he said, although i have to say with a good exhaust and induction kit the 16v does sound menacing

[krave]

but surely if you dont thrash the vr everywhere then it can be just as economical??? :p

yeah but the sound is addictive!!
i believe 28mpg is average for the vr and 32mpg is ave for the 16v...

yet my 8v gets less than this!

My 1.6 only gets 25, one of the reasons ive bought a vr6, not much difference in price overall.
