Not stripped, but the bare minimum + the panels are very light, and air con is an option!

NovaGTE was getting 23mpg out of the ATR (motorway driving) and sold it to fund travelling next year with his girlfriend, who you split from just after he sold the car

. Think he regretted selling it after that.

Was an awesome car and felt bloody quick, think 0-60 is in the mid 6's i thought, although i think evo quote low 6's!

Beamer is much better on fuel from what he's said, and its a 318 btw. This is also getting sold as he's had some expensive vandalism done to it at uni, he is now getting a micra for free

Oh and 19.7 to 100

Thats sooo wrong

. To me the ATR felt just as quick as a CTR i raced.

Yeah twas me that had and sold the ATR, was an awsome car for the money but like Corsa5dr said isold it to fund going to see my missus (ex, although workin on that

) then finished with me the day that i sold it

went to uni about 70 miles from where i live and lived about 140 miles away from me. I found the fuel economy was rather poor on them, even on a motorway run was not gettin enough to the gallen

Its the fastest car that i have owned and driven and would deff recomend one. They also handle so well for a big car and the interior is gorgeous
