    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!

    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?
