Are they really this bad?

I have Driven Ashoks S60R his has well over 350bhp and loads of stuff done to it!
It was a fantastically rapid and comfortable car to drive! very Sure footed, but i did not drive it hard, you did not have to!
His has had all the niggles and engine done, and i can say it was a pleasure to drive and be a passenger in it! on road and on track!
And they give better MPG than a T5!!!
But just make sure you get a good one! or it will be a money pit!
Its like anything you get there are good and bad and it depends on how they have been treated.
Its the same with people a banker will still be able to work when he picks up his pension when he's 70 but will a bricklayer?
Monkey they are BETTER than a T5
I looked at that car 5 years ago and it had done 65k then and was a pup!
Steer well clear would be my advise!
what about this one..??

£3900..... pretty good. FVSH
I seen that one at westhill cosco a couple of months ago and got a slap for looking at it
Listen when you drive like I do they will give better MPG!
No plus they have the 6 speed box! when i am doing 70mph @ 2800 Rpm they will be be at 2500 Rpm!
So cruising they are better! and all the guys i know with S60r always quote better figures than what i can get?
the lowest ive seen pottering about is 28.8mpg, i know if i keep it by the redline i'll be looking @ low 20's.
i do drive very calmly.. the car is currently standard & its not hard to keep this MPG, if obeying speed limits & getting into 5th ASAP the T5 is very good on fuel..
i do live on the Norfolk coast though..... i have 0 traffic EVER!!
Yes the standard cars you should be getting about that driving very gently!
My car is quite heavily tuned as well! even on a steady run I only see about 26MPG at best!!! but i do have 327 Bhp & 343 ft lbs, but it goes like a stabbed rat!
I live in Norwich lol what part of the norfolk coast do you live?
