NAD MPG!!

[Toms306]

64mpg is my best from mixed driving, my last tank was all london traffic so sitting still of foot flat on the floor and i still got almost 50mpg.



Its not all about fuel costs though.

Spare parts cost bugger all and theres very little on them to go wrong. Can you imaging how much it would cost for a new set of locks and keys for the golf (say you snapped your key in the ignition) in the NAD it was £80 for a full set and only took about an hour to break into the car and change them all.

What kind of mixed driving was that lol.....mines been mostly college rush hour traffic or 90mph on the A14.... :?

And yeah but VW keys arent made of cheese like peugeot ones........ Tbh, VWs are better built to start with, I mean the panels on the 106 are shocking, the wings bend in and out like tin foil, and everything leaks or rusts on it! The sunroof and doors all whistle constantly over like 35mph, the drivers door wont shut without a good slam, a glowplug has seized into the head and snapped, the cold start doesnt seem to work at all...so i just have to give it some to keep it going, the clutch or engine mounts are f*cked cos its real juddery changing gear, which bring me on to the awful gearchange, the road noise is ridiclous, the lack of arch liners means the you get any annoying water noise splashing up the rear, and the heavy horrible steering, the lack of ABS and its ease to lock the wheels resulting in lots of tyre smoke and dirty seats, its unbelievably light and unstable in anything more than a light breeze, its scary joining motorways or overtaking as theres virtually no acceleration etc etc etc :o Fair enough its 14 years old, but my mates 2000 106D is just the same. hock:

Basically its fecking horrible.......ok its saving me £3 a week in fuel, and £2.50 a week in insurance..........but I can't put up with it for any longer than I absolutely need to haha!

And I care because......?

If you dont care, dont reply.

I know youre just jealous you wont even get half that mpg from a 1.8.
