ummm....usually 11.5 to 13.5 L/100km LOL....on 91/94 too. mostly street....i'd do some hwy here and there. i had super short drive cycle which didn't help, esp in winter. and i don't exactly drive slow either. so yeah...60L tank it was? not the best mileage.
mine was a 2008 hatch model and the OE tune was assssss. if you get the newer gen. sti's they SHOULD be better. but the car is ugly as fuck now.

Re: Toronto Autoshow v.who's going?

went tonight.
two cool things: audi has a R8 that is half R8 and half R8 LMS Ultra. Interesting to see they used a fairly common airfoil profile (in terms of low speed high lift profile choices go) for the race car.
Infiniti has a F1 car in the booth with a cutout in the engine cover / side pods showing some of the guts. Fairly certain the car is "legit" and not a demo model, can't tell which year the front wing is from, but if you look at the fins on the exit of the brake duct, the endplate and the y250 turning vane also on the front wing, you can see it's not a demo. Buddy and I geeked over that thing for at least 15-20 mins.

I actually brought that up with the wife when Wayne was selling but she wants the new one as it's got the new S engine from the 3 and 5 door... something about using mid-grade gas instead of premium. She's bent on saving the $30 a year on gas or something stupid like that. Totally illogical - save $120 over 4 years on fuel costs vs $10k on the price of the car - WTF?!?!? So.... pregnant
Doesn't matter... still gonna try and talk her out of it. I firmly believe we don't need a big car.

I'm really curious to see how the R drives. Drove the GTI last year and had a fucking blast. I think the all seasons that were mounted on it added to the fun - lifting off the throttle mid-turn kicked the bum out a little bit, allowing you to just WOT through the rest of the corner as long as you had it aimed in the right direction. Since then, I've been curious how the AWD handles in comparison.

I was on the VW.ca website to look at the prices of GTI
The 5 doors GTI are $35,000 + HST
The R starts at $40,9XX + HST so it may be worth the extra 6g for 82 more HP and 4WD

buuut it's "awd", because it's really ff until it loses grip.
And there is no LSD option, unlike the GTI.
The GTI PP is more of a drivers car than the R is IMO.
Plus, the tartan interior cloth is sweeeeeeet.

YESSSSS!!!!! From what I hear it's great to drive but I don't like the way it looks (and the price)
I was super surprised how much I liked the Volvo wagon. Best overall cover for me was from Cadilliac.
My car looked like a bag of shit at the Infiniti booth but the concept for then new qx70 (fx50) looks fantastic. Nsx looked much better in a normal colour than the typical red Honda was showcasing in the past.

yeah...i saw it 3 months back. still love the back and the front is much better but that grill is tooooo big. if they just shrunk it say 30-35% it'd be good. tech has improved as has the leather i believe, plus a few other items since it is minor-model change. the car in person looks great. then again it isn't Lexus huuuuuuge front fascias l e l.
the next gen tlx full-model change will be something to behold though! like as in acura wants to go next level and take zeeGermanz head on

Acura - in between everything and doesn't set itself apart in the segment aside from making ugly ass cars with underwhelming performance.

Re: Toronto Autoshow v.who's going?

I am so conflicted if i should get this or not. (depending on pricing)
i prefer the front end on my car, however not sure if i want to buy out my lease and keep it because it's been hit, on it's 3rd windshield, headliner replaced, dash replaced. i'd probably get raped if i kept it and sold or traded it in when there's a full model change.
now from what i've been reading, the A-spec is only a V6.....i don't want or need a V6 but i do not want the new I4 because it's so blah (how can you want that after you've seen the aspec?). i hope the aspec won't be a damn 50k or something retarded car.
