miko_supra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have a peugeot 306 1.9TD. Looks ok, comfortable, 50+mpg, good sound system, and doesn't handle too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Let me recommend a 1.6 GL polo! Great run around only downside is you only get bout 42mpg and the tank holds bout 10 gallons Posted via Mobile Device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Let me recommend a 1.6 GL polo! Great run around only downside is you only get bout 42mpg Posted via Mobile Device Only 42mpg? Thats very decent even for a 1.6 unless your doing mostly motorway miles. Even then id say its not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great run around only downside is you only get bout 42mpg and the tank holds bout 10 gallons Posted via Mobile Device Downsides? As Axle said, 42mpg sounds good for a 1.6 petrol engine. I'd expect mid to high 30s from that. 10 gallons (roughly 50 litres) isn't bad either. IIRC the supe's is only a bit bigger at 70 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly motorway speeds you get 42mpg, urban probly mid to low 30s. There a crackin little car, ok so they handle like a shopping car but who cares. One in good nick and under 100k miles can still bring over a £1000 should you ever need to sell Posted via Mobile Device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
