NIKH25 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Mpg is bad mate, does feel a very heavy car though, bet a s3 fair bit lighter, was going to check tyre pressures but as usual no air pumps in any of the garages working as usualThink im not ready for a cruiser yet still like something small you can chuck around, 3rd car coming up in as many months Doesn't the s3 have 4wd though, in which case it would be heavier surely?
