sprinter2012 You should get the car my mates just got himself as a work car...BMW 123D.
200bhp diesel, 0-60 in 7 seconds and average mpg of 50! Now theres some figures to dream about...
200bhp? Not enough sorry
Among a few of my mates who do trackdays and tuning and the like we decided that 200bhp/ton is a nice figure for power vs handling to create a very 'useable' driving balance. I bet the beemer weighs a lot more than a ton!

dodgydave Yeh in the Prius :wink:
Its the correct tool for the job it has to do:thumbup1:
Every car has its uses and for my 80 miles a day that I currently do the Prius is a gem.
The 2nd car when the MR2 is finally replaced will be another turbo monster, it may have 3 wheels?

WRX powered Trike is what I am thinking.
Although Stav would never forgive me if I went for his arch rival.

Deano77 Hi all I've owned a lexus is200 for a few days and my god how expensive are theses cars to run.before this car I owned a civic type r i used to full the car up with £40 of unleaded petrol and get about 220 miles out of the type r.
Imagine my shock when I put £40 on the lexus it came upto the half a tank Mark Ive been driving around town mainly like I did with the type r with abit of putting my foot down from time to time.
The lexus has returned 90 miles and the fuel lights come on surely this cannot be right at all, 90 miles from £40 even around town.
The fuel gauge has seem to be working properly how much ate you guys getting my cars a 2001 lexus is200 sport totally standard
Hi guys think I got the mpg wrong first time round but this time done it right I put £30 in and got 110 miles round street still not great I guess hence why the cars up for sale I thought my civic type r was bad on fuel used to get 220 miles out of £40
