Not bad, but going to 1 from a Scooby, you probably won't notice much of a difference.

The blue one is cheap considering the mileage, although it's auto. they are no where near as economical as manual ones

Possibly because when he had the CTR, it was driven hard, and now he has the M3, and a kid to think about, the M3 is driven sensibly.

Sco0t on here has had a couple of CTR's, and iirc, he was seeing close to 40mpg on his daily commute of around 80miles.

Driving them like for like, there is no way an M3 will return anywhere near the same sort of MPG as a CTR.

I fill my CTR up every 200 miles roughly.

Appaling on fuel.

Still shit on fuel regardless.

Most i've seen was 260 on motorway use.

Lowest i've had was 165 the week i fitted my spoon exhaust.

Worked out that in 6 months i've done 4k and spent roughly £1200 on petrol.

Hence why i've decided its time for it to go.

I really struggle to get to get 30mpg out of my civic type r, my Clio 172 was getting 40+ on the same commute which is annoying as its not much quicker.

Saying that 30mpg for a car with a 0-60 time of 6.5 and 149 top speed isn't to bad.

Thats why i like the corrado vr, returns decent mpg and decent performance, can get 35mpg quite easily
