G60Jet 1 Posted May 1, 2008 Hi Guys Well its been a while since I left Spain and the Corrado G60 Jet , I always regretted selling the Jet but not any more, I've found a car that bring the same smile to my face that the old Jet did over 3 years ago. As some of you know I have a job at the weekends filming driving experiences and I hail a fair amount of kit around, and frankly the boot on the Leon was just not big enough. Anyway after some toying with the idea of a new car, I started looking around, I still wanted a Mk4 R32, but being the same platform as the Leon it wasn't really the car. I looked at the Passat and the boot was huge, but just didn't like the seats or the dash, event in the "sport" models. So off I went to Merc, the C-Class to be exact, now my dad has one and its nice, but still says to me, when I'm 50 and totally Grey. Then the Audi popped into my Head. VAG, Sport, nice toys, and good lucks. Started looking around for a 170BHP tdi, and they are a bit thin on the ground. Anyway I went to Stafford Audi to test drive a TDI, but it wasnt as tidy as i'd off liked for 16,000miles. Anyway to the back of the line was a Stunning liquid blue A4 Avant 2.0l petrol, now I didn't really want a petrol car, but after a quick bit of maths and the manufactures mpg figures the petrol only works out 1p a mile more expensive to run on fuel. So I took it out for a spin. What a car, I fell in love, the Quattro really make it fly and drive well. Anyway its got 1 owner from new, and only 10k on the clock and very clean. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 1, 2008 but after a quick bit of maths and the manufactures mpg figures the petrol only works out 1p a mile more expensive to run on fuel. That's another grand a year assuming you do 10k a year! It's not exactly a small sum in anyones book! Still - looks like a wonderful car mate. Would gladly have one of those for day to day driving! I'm guessing it's the same (or a variant of) the 2.0T in the Golf GTI..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted May 1, 2008 10,000 x 0.01p = £100, but the servicing is cheaper on the petrol and the car is cheaper to buy yeah 200BHP standard, not sure if it will get chipped or not, but it seems strange seeing and engine that way round under the bonnet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 2, 2008 Must have been tired - not sure how I worked that out like that! Made sense to go for the petrol then :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
