Andy665 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Although I have been lucky enough to drive one I have never seen one on the road then today I have seen 3 in the space of 30 mins - so much better looking on the road than in a showroom :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted November 16, 2007 I saw one in Norwich a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't that impressed until I saw the recent reviews on Top Gear etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted November 23, 2007 I see 2 R8's pretty much every day near my uni in Leicester, 1 black parked in an insurance company building/car park which looks fantastic! And the other 1 silver which we only really see occassionally in a car park thats full of BMW's, Mercs, Audi's and the odd porsches. They have proper grown on me and i think they are utterly gorgeous cars! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 7, 2008 R8's are nice, a little bit too 'clinical' I think though. I had a customer's car overnight the other week while he was in our 997 Turbo demonstrator, and to be honest, you can't go anywhere in it! They're too wide for car park spaces, too low for multistoreys, you put fuel in them, then have to wait for people to stop taking pictures of it, AND, I can't get it into my courtyard at home without major surgery of the front splitter! 997 FTW me thinks! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How on earth does it handle that much torque?!?! Plus, 28MPG is bloody impressive for a V12!! I heard some rumblings a few years ago that the next generation of VW TDI engines is supposed to be hitting the 100mpg mark, any truth in this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, by the sounds of it they're not far off that with the Polo Bluemotion. I've read some reviews where people have supposedly had better economy out of it than the 72mpg quoted by VW. :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
