oh crap 14mpg the best

[daza-b]

2mpg! lol

[JUDGENINJA]

For your comparison cos I have both:
T5 - 20-25mpg (21.5mpg on comp screen)
T4 - 28-35mpg (29mpg an comp screen)

[mitchyboy01]

Much better than the T5 in my experience. I get 30mpg and I rape mine half the time. Could get more if I was sensible. A stock T4 is as quick if not quicker than a stock 850. Dooooooo it my son.

t4's are good little motors but c'mon they just aint got the road presence or the soundtrack

It will start off as a daily then you will realise how good it is and have to make a big decision. Or you could run both and be a very lucky chap!!!

DON'T START SWEARING!! A 1.8... Why bother?
A T4 book mpg could be up to 40mpg...

dunno i thought i was smithy for a second there lol turbo all the way

[antz]

i get between 29 and 30 mpg in my T4 and I dont hang around.

[LiamT4]

For how well they go they are actually pretty good on fuel, i got about 27mpg on my journeys to work (22mpg in my s70r) and could get 38mpg on a long journey (34 is the best i'v had out of the s70)

Both were autos.

[dalhousie2008]

They sound like a bit of a bargain, my mate had one new years ago be said it was much better than his t5

[JUDGENINJA]

They definitely feel smaller though, not as refined ride as an 850 or V70.

But What they take away they give back with handling, from traffic light
Capabilities and probably cheaper to insure and run.

[LiamT4]

I found the t4 was a fair bit cheaper to insure and was much easier on the tyres.
My lightly modded auto t4 could manage 0-100mph in less than 14.5secs.

... So you fancy YorkshireR's T4??! Another yellow one at the essex meets..??
