Allan Zada Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I work for Audi and they used to use that 1.6 in the A3. Couldn't pull your grandma out of her seat. Would definitely look at a different engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Cheers guys, Yep, Lisa has one, loves it too bits Had a good chat with Graham, deffo a ladies car, couldnt pull a rat off your shoulder, and has a liking for front tyres, as I said Graham, Lisa's car has been as good as gold, no problems what-so-ever MPG, yes a tad low, 30ish round town, motorway, unsure as Lisa is a town driver. Indy service costs, very cheap, as discussed Jim, you can always put a condom in the vase you know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
