Do you do nothing but find things you don't like about this car/Peugeots, then say how much better Volkwagens or Toyota's are? Why don't you piss off and buy another Golf and spam the VagFag forums?! :p
When have I ever said the Toyota was better at anything lol? It's horrible! Plus it took ages to start yesterday too...useless heap....
But on another note, surely you can see why I'm not pleased with a car that has half thepower of the golf, less weight, 30,000 less miles etc etc still only does 50mpg. I thought the idea of getting such little power from a 2.0 diesel was for epic mpg....but it clearly isnt!
As I say, i know its broken atm.....but even with the large amounts of coal I blew from the golf, driving like a twat more often than not got at least 10 more mpg.
Only real differences are no cruise control so rather than sit at 60 I'm creeping up to 65/70 but even that shouldn't kill mpg so badly. The only other thing is with the golf I was on the throttle for max 10 seconds at a time, booting up to 70, then coasting back down to 45ish for overtakes on my backroad as the golf held speed better and used no fuel coasting down. That doesn't happen in the hdi....overtakes take forever on the throttle, and I don't hit 70 quick let alone coast back from it lol.
Does mean that I can prove to my mum that slow cars AREN'T better on fuel!
