He driving that one Chris? Seen that on DD and back roads alright. Bit pricey for the year compared too there's but looks well in fairness.Originally Posted by ChrispyFish

Cool. What's the gti engine like in the Octi body do you know? Hard on petrol etc?Originally Posted by HealyC
Keith, go look at Colm's. I bet my house keys on you not finding one cleaner/more legit or un-abused. I'm sure if someone comes to view, he'll discuss price
What are they like on petrol Ciaran?Originally Posted by ciars
He's not a heavy driver, from what I can gather its returning anything between 28 - 30mpg for his daily commute and 34 mpg on country runs.
Same engine as a GTi with a less aggressive map afaik, i've just done 650 kms on my last tank of 55 ltrs, most of that being a trip from Limerick to Belfast at avg 130kms, works out at 34 mpg, the VRS could prob do better. Great engine imo. The 06 model is the MK 2 VRS btw.
My brother has the 2.0 TDi and I've driven it a few times, fine car and well specced too, I was interested in buying one until he bought his!
