MPG - Need you're help chaps
Hi all,
Currently trying to buy my g/f a car. I want a good, reliable, (gern or jap ), sport car, that does fare mpg as she does about 80 miles a day. Budget is £3.5K So, currently looking at Mr2 -Rev3+ Rav 4 - sor above Celica Gt n or above Golf conv n/p/r So, anyone had one of the above ? Anyone know what sort of mpg you would get ?? I have asked on the other forums, but find the subaru lot far more friendly and helpful. Cheers all SBK |
Hows about an mx5??
|
Another vote for a mx5, my missus had a mk1 1.6 s-special came std with bilstein suspension, and a LSD was a real grin to drive, she now has a mk 2.5 1.8i sport not a raw as the mk1 but still fun.
Both were/are ultra reliable, cheap to run and return very good mpg (until i drive them:D) £3.5k should get you a late mk1. |
Mx5 ? mmmm dont really like them. Also, a friend had one, and she did similar miles and found that the car was a little weak for that. She replaced it with a boxter.
Also, she carries around a ton of crap, like all girls do. Mx5 doesnt offer much space, but then nor does an MR2. SBK |
Sports cars hold their value very well because they are always in demand. To find one capable of regular big miles for your might be tricky. If you can steer her away from the idea of a sports car you could get something newer and more reliable. Any chance of practicality overriding her vanity?

Well the MR2 is a no go then if she carries stuff, my glovebox is bigger than its boot....almost

Thats the new MK3 Mr2! Doubt he'll get one of those for 3.5K.
The MK2 had quite a decent size boot as it goes. |

Busted ? hahaah Im not busted, yes I dont like the car, Im paying, therefore Im choosing ! lol
Mx5 are ok, but I dont seem them as daily car's more as nice weather, weekend cars. Each to their own, but mx5 arent on the list. Who here has had a Mr 2 ?? Mpg ? Golf ? RAv ?? Anyone ?? SBK |

If you're choosing the car, then it isn't for her, its for you!
You might love it when the other half would rather walk! Let her chose and have a nag free life! :D Well, atleast about the car! :thumb: |
Mr2 aswell, providing she is a half decent driver, they can catch you out at first, up to 40 mpg from the n/a 2 litre.
|
The wife has an MY04 Rav 4 Diesel which returns around 38mpg.
