Honda to axe Diesel Cars...

[Funkstar]

So diesels are cheaper and thats why more poeple are buying them, yet you say you decided on a petrol equivelant because it was cheaper?

[dave87]

Heh, the r32 isn't a v8, it is a v6

[Konan555]

Sort of a squashed V6 with a single head.

[schmunk]

The amount of people (obviously who aren't being affected by the crunch) driving round in new V8 R32's is unbelievable, I must see 3 different ones everytime I walk to work.

3 is unbelievable? Gosh.

Still cheap enough for the majority of people to choose them over petrol cars. I was looking at buying a diesel Corsa rather than the petrol equivelant, but it was so much more expensive to buy the actual car, it would have been cheaper for me in the long run to just stick with the petrol model!

I dont even know where to start with these statements.

It's unbelievable that he has to walk to work when he should have obviously purchased a push bike or a bus card

[MadduckUK]

maybe he actually does see 3 v8 R32's

[Guy]

maybe he actually does see 3 v8 R32's

Surely then they would be 3x R40's? (based on the fact that I have given this imaginary cars 4 litre engines)

[MadduckUK]

possibly, but that would be a nickname rather than an offical one

[dave87]

and anyway, VAG like W engines, not Vs

[MadduckUK]

if it was vag doing it then it would be official though :|

[dave87]

It would indeed.


Anyway chaps, I think this thread has deviated far enough from the original topic


If you guys needed an economical hatchback with some performance to it, what would you choose?

[Guy]

The fact that there is no next gen 'R32' planned!

*Edit*

Leon FR TDI.

[MadduckUK]

SiR or Cyborg R, spend what you save on petrol.. frugal as you like

[kalniel]

If you guys needed an economical hatchback with some performance to it, what would you choose?

SEAT Ibiza Cupra 178bhp 1.4 TSI with 7 speed DSG.

[dave87]

So, no takers for something like the 118d/120d with Efficient Dynamics?
