yeah i like the power and speed from 80 up, thats when the vr6 shines

saying they use lots of fuel made me laugh.

I guess when i turn it on it says 20l/100km, but after 5 mins its down to under 10l, and then by the time i get to work it says 8.5/100km. Even when i strapped it UP mt hotham chasing a mini2 it didn't go about 11!

My gfs 1.8l Cordoba uses more fuel! ahaha....

yeah i think i agree there.
On my recent road trip along the eastern coast i was averaging as low as 7.6L/100kms according to the MFA. (which according to my calculations on fill ups seemed to be quite accurate)

In peak hour traffic i rarely get worse then 11L/100kms
Even thrashing the pants off it in the mountains. maybe 13L tops?
Will have to see what happens when i get a chance to do a track day :twisted:

yeah i easily get 7-8ltrs/100 , goes out to 11 if i really get on it and cruze at high speeds. they are good motors , no doubt about it the best i can get is 5.4l/100 out my way but thats really being carefull and using all the hills to my advantage. and sittin on 80

i enjoy MFA its a fun game to play

this post just keeps going, i personally like both these cars, for different reasons. Its not really apples vs apples...the vr6 is probably more complex, the Seat is more likely to have lots of tiny dents on the body????(whats that about) but regardless they still have lots on offer, and now is a great time to buy either car. And then u run in to an R32 and realise that u have a ways to go!
