Cheer up folks.......

I usually brim my tank and get 180 - 200 miles out of a tank......

if you wanna spank the tank.........do it in style.........buy a V6 ponce mobile as Weagie would say

R attles
O ld mans car
V ery high running cost
E lectrics playing up....again!
R ubbish build quality

lol!! never heard that, i like it. ha ha!! sure they rattle, cost a fortune to run, and the build quality is definately something to be desired but they have character!! people smile when they see a big family saloon/hatchback blitz away from traffic lights like a rocket, they are different and fun....
in the end though.....DON'T DO IT!!!!

for a 2.5 v6 180 bhp isni alot when you consider renault get 192 bhp from a 2.0 16v. yea its a big engine but power wise it isnt a lot. i would rather have bhp's than cc's

[afcbadam]

they do have character and they are different and one of the best looking cars about but i have had 4 off them now so i just feel it will soon be time for a change

"FOUR !!! "
You are the last person to be convinced by other owners then as you've come back for more already ....
In that case and you've had enough .... go for it. What's the budget ?

[afcbadam]

about £5500 -£6000 not huge amounts but enough to but a nice 2003 gsi with 50k. not many about with that miles for that that price but they do occasionally pop up. and who knows i might get board with that and come back

[carmadbaker]

FOUR!?!?!? i think you love them cars enough! but as Dan said....you've had your fair share....go for something else lol

[afcbadam]

i will say for anybody thinking of buying one i have had no major problems atall with any off them i cant knock the reliability and will kill anybody who does. there great cars
