vr6 corrado??? 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Hello all, I am currently looking at buying a mint VR6, I'm a little concerned about the petrol consumpsion though. I would be driving around town so how much do you guys get per gallon? I currently have a williams clio, would it be a hell of a lot more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 14, 2005 Lets say you do 20,000 miles per year - assume you do 5mpg less - that works out about £8 per week more - small price to pay in my opinion - good luck in finding a mint one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Do it. One thing to bear in mind is that economy has to be a low priority with a VR6, around town they're not brilliant, 20 something. I use mine on long runs evryday and average 30. There's so many good things about a VR6 though, the sound...the refinement...the torque. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 14, 2005 Clio Williams is a very cool car though.. guess it didn't make it into the Evo 'best car' article running alongside all the Porka's and stuff for no reason! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted February 14, 2005 without trying to sounding elitist............this is a quote from a Porsche 928 specialist......"if you can afford the petrol you can afford to run it"............ok the 928 is v v low teens mpg :shock: :shock: :shock: but the VR is low-to-mid 20's round town(driving economically) and late teens if you hammer it round town...........so if you can suffer having to pay a bit extra on fuel over yer clio then go for the VR but tbh fuel ain't such a major issue with the VR as things that can go wrong now and again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted February 15, 2005 No, buy a G60. Ha. If you're worried about economy buy a 2.0 8v. Then lament your lack of power at your leisure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 15, 2005 Clio Williams is a very cool car though.. guess it didn't make it into the Evo 'best car' article running alongside all the Porka's and stuff for no reason! I still like the reference to the Corrado VR6 in that magazine, in the knowledge section.....Corrado VR6 92-95 - + "Still to be bettered for all round ability and appeal" - " Err......" 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
