are vtr's really that good?

[1100desire]

i mean for everyday driving forget the racing just as cars im thinking of buying one a bloke near me has a silver 52 plate with 33,000 miles. Im approaching 21 so could insure one.... but then im thinking stick with the 1.1 for economy etc etc.

I think they are great lil cars. I have been insured on one just after the age of 19, in my 2nd year of driving, and theres lots of people on here who get them at 17. And MPG arent that bad.
More to the point though, this isnt the right section my friend, lol.

[1100desire]

yeah sorry wasnt sure which section to use..... ya got a 205 gti? can i see some pictures of it i used to have one

[Karl]

......theyre not amazing,
but hey, what hatch is?

VTR is a nice cheap, cost effective car to run (providing you insure one cheap.)

[notime2chill]

VTR's are very good on fuel, i put a full tank in about (35quid) and it will last me 400miles before the light comes on. I do a lot of traveling to work.

My gf has photos on her phone, will see if I can get them off soon.

Mine isnt that good, lol. Mine does about 260, lol, though im guessing the fact it isnt runnig as smooth as it could, and the de cat doesnt help.

jeeees... 400 miles 35 quid...

i got full tank costing like 42 quid then only got 240 miles from it :(, really need to get mine serviced

but yea amazing cars only difference from yours atm though will be the speed and looks and more expensive insurance and petrol ;)

worth it i recon

[Paul]

They're great cars mate

Your 21 so doubt you'll be into racing and whatever. But they do have the power there if you need it for whatever reason.

Also they got the basic bits and bobs like electric windows, a sunroof, and they're very easy to modify to make them personal.

i wouldnt put hope on them getting better.

i get about 280 miles for £30 which is good i think.

although i think the car counts miles a bit quick :S

[SaxoJamie]

yeah they are good cars, thinking about upgrading to one myself :) VTR's have a lot going for them, great handling, good looks, reasonably quick while maintaining good fuel economy and cheap to buy:y:

100% fact when i worked in York i used to get 410 miles out of a tank, that was motorway commuting sat at 70mph without a heavy foot!

02 PLATE VTR that was with a standard exhaust system but carbon induction kits.

[DaxVTR]

Price is going up again in april, now its over the £1(ish) mark its never going down, the way i see it is now its cheaper then its going to be so make the most of the fuel and have as much fun with it while its still below £1.10p

[Barry123]
