Lez325 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 being a2.4 litre petrol its going to be expensive to run- look for a diesel version is my advice & the diesel engines generally have more grunt Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 thanks for your advice , this is my first 4x4 so getting used to it but its great fun . I bought the 2.4l lwb petrol one because i couldnt find or afford a diesel . I used to have a golf gti before this so hopefully it wont be to different (hopefully) cant wait to get it in some mud .

Beardo Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 i get roughly 20mpg from my 2.0 litre (that was before i stuck Mud tyres on it, so no doubt it'll be even worse now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have the 2.2 16v LWB EcoTec and they are an amazing vehicle, get a decent set of All terrains fitted and they plough through deep snow and mud with ease, i have towed 3 ton transits up steep hills covered in ice with mine and it just doesn`t even think about it, goes through mud right upto the floor pan.

vampire Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 i get roughly 20mpg from my 2.0 litre (that was before i stuck Mud tyres on it, so no doubt it'll be even worse now!) About the same here with my 2.0 swb 20/25 mpg stick it in 4wd and not so economical then especially when its mud plugging.Great fun,never stuck yet and best shooting 4x4 ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
