Thanks guys but i need a more modern car like the honda or the golf. I need the air cond and reliability to go anywhere with my family. Hard to convince them that the fan is just an option for the veedubs.....hehe....

Byronbus, can you mail me some photos and more details on hanchun33@hotmail.com?

Anyone else?

Cheers!

I had a VR6 for a while, the economy was terrific on the highway - less than 10l / 100klms but around town and in traffic it would average about 15L / 100klms, sometimes as much as 16 or 17

I am a bit of a leadfoot though...

It was a nice car although it had a persistent problem that was very hard to diagnose - on hot days it did not like to accelerate, the hotter the day the worse it got

also i found the suspension a bit too firm for our crap roads - hit some bumps mid-corner at speed and it went all over the place, usually into oncoming traffic - it was ok if you knew the roads but otherwise it could be very entertaining!

Thanks guys for the feedback, i guess its not too bad if the worse is 15L/100km. Who doesn't have a heavy foot when he is driving a VR6? hehe........

Thanks for the offer YeahBad but i am after a VR6 MK3 Golf.

Cheers!

There is a Seat Ibiza with a VR6 in it which makes an unusual combo, on ebay at present.

Unfortunately, i am in Melbourne. Its hard to buy a car without looking and driving it especially its a second hand car. I have driven a few since i started looking and they all drive differently.......
