Im thinking of getting a bug/blob wagon but a non-turbo maybe a 1.6 or 2.0 manual, anyone know the mpg you get? and road tax?

Thanks.

Other than insurance, if it's simply fuel and road tax you think you'll be saving on, then consider a turbo model...

Insurance is ridiculous for me and I have 9 yrs NCB! I used to have a bug WRX, but now have a 05 1.8 MG ZS. I get 46 miles to £10 unleaded, so anything close to this is good.

Just fancy a change really.

tax is the same, mpg not much better

Much better cars out there which will achieve shed loads more mpg and give shed loads more performance!

Just been looking on autotrader and parkers, and they say the tax for a bug wagon n/a is the same band as a turbo?

Think ill look at something else.

Brun, any ideas?

Budget? What sort of use will it get?

My hawk R-Sport returned 35mpg on a run, 36-37 if I really tried. Ain't bad really. Takes normal petrol too, so that's a bit of saving (a bit!).

Tax band is the same though.

Mine isn't a wagon.. but it has got a for sale sticker on it!

Budget is 2k, everyday use northing with harsh choppy suspension.

iv just taxed my Bug 2.0 GX non turbo for 6 months it was £148. MPG isnt too bad at around 30mpg, remember its an all wheel drive so as with all 4 wheels drives its gonna use more fuel than a FWD vehicle! but i had a classic 280BHP Turbo a while back and was pumping £10 a day super unleaded in it so that went the journey pretty quick as i do a lot of miles with my business!
insurance i wouldn't know as iv got a traders policy so i can drive whatever i want from a mini to a porsche and my insurance never changes!

Iv had 4 Scoobys in all now, 3 classics (1 turbo 2 non) and my current bugeye GX 2.0. bugeyes feel a lot newer and more modern than the classics in my opinion, i much prefer them and doubt id go back to a classic now but each to his own thats just a matter of opinion really.
