Re: Is there such a thing as a 4x4 estate with an Autobox that works?

Here's a something that stuck in my head from my Insurance days - Skyline rear bumper, between £300 and £400 and 7 weeks to come from Japan.

I only get about 21 mpg tops in my Scoob doing mostly urban driving, best I've ever had is 29.66mpg on a run (steady 80-90 mph)

Can imagine an auto's mpg to be fairly horrendous for town driving.

That's not much worse than a 16V Golf.

He's not even trying, don't think mine ever went above 10mpg...

Do the back seats fold in a 620Ti? Could anyone cope with the same of driving a 150mph Rover and the fake wood for 30k a year?

I'm pretty sure they did, but it's been that long since I drove one I really can't remember for sure.

Doki, you used to be ok, I thought it was just the needling from the Steve's that was turning you into an idiot, but it's clearly not. What happened ?

I don't like fake wood and my bird literally wouldn't get in a Rover. Accord Type R? And it's got cheap plastic and no STD for a start ;).

It's cool to pretend you're stuck up and posh now. Didn't you get the memo?

Celica GT4 exhaust, 4 weeks, if they remembered to put it in the=20 container, if there was room, and =A3450 for mild steel.

And that was a UK spec car. I spent =A3175 for off the shelf stainless and= =20 got it next day.

Scorpio Ultima 24 exhaust, from Ford... £2500+

Scary, huh.

So what? What has that actually got to do with anything?

"Me" doesn't own a Rover, I don't own a Rover, and as far as I know you don't own a Rover. Even if any of us did it still wouldn't have the faintest bit of relevance to the fuel consumption of a Subaru.

Ah yes, the Accord Type-R, that well known 4x4 estate... Are you on drugs or something?

I know, but you did own a 620Ti did you not? Hence the question. I don't have to have an estate, but I do need something with folding back seats. Hell, I don't have to have 4x4 - 2WD with an LSD will be plenty good enough for what I need.

No, but it's a 600 in drag.

Not sure there was a Type-R on that shape Accord. Not in the UK, anyway.

nope

f*ck off what the hell is that made of? gold?

Hmm well, there's the Accord Type-S, ticks the 'estate' box, still no

I wondered that myself, then discovered it's got four bloody catalysts, so it's more platinum than gold.

Since discovered Kwik-Fit do the full job for around £500, which is better, but still not exactly wonderful.

With a different shell, engine, gearbox, diff, interior and fixed rear seats.
