My wifes car is in the garage so she has decided she should keep my Rallye and sell her car No

Then she drove it and claims the clutch has hurt her back as it's so heavy. Well played Rally, well played Smile


Can I count see her driving the car as a I Spy? As I haven't seen a single Rallye/GTI-6 since I got the car Dunno

Shes only driving it because she has no choice, apparently.

Was funny when she decided she wanted to drive my GTR. She didn't even get out of first gear or on boost before she "scared" herself?!?

My wifes likes ragging mine. She always has 4 or 5 runs at pugfest in it and will be 2nd driver when we do a full brandshatch track day in it. She liked it that much she got a 306. Albeit an hdi with a stage 1 map and loads of 6 bits as she can't stand 30 mpg.

just worked mine out. got about 280-300 miles tops from a ful 60ltr tank, which is about 20-22mpg

a lot of that was motorway to work and back, plus evenings and weekends hooning about

getting about 16mpg at the moment taking my M3 to work and back LOL and that's good! i could get through £100 a week at one point, my new limited mileage policy stopped me doing moon miles in it now though LOL

Got to be something wrong there. I get 300 from a tank on crappy 5 mile commute every day. Recent trip to the peaks and back ended up with 37mpg and had a lot of fun up in the hills.

If you drive very economically you can easily get high 30s from a healthy gti6.

I bet I could get 40 driving at 56mph everywhere.

I get over 300 with mine if longer trips. Got from London to Devon with less than half a tank when I brought her home.

Good news, the wife's car is back so I'v now hidden the keys to mine. During the time she had it it hurst her back (heavy clutch) and shes got a cracking bruise on her left from the seat height adjustment arm (nno idea how she did it??)

It's all about how little you can get from a full tank. Bragging about 400 plus from 60 litres is so last year Yes

Must admit, we do love a good MPG debate. Perhaps there should be a dedicated thread for it. Lol

By not driving any faster than about 55mph, by backing way off from people so you almost never brake, only coastdown, and by accelerating very slowly everywhere.

None of those things are in any way fun nor why any of us bought a gti6 though.

Mine always see's high 20's low 30's with mixed driving and lots of traffic. A healthy one should see minimum of 300 miles to the yellow light. But I've been brimming mine every week for years and logging it on an app as I'm sad lime that and it's averaged at 30mpg.

The MPG was a plus point for me when picking the car.
