At this stage I'm getting 12.1 ltrs per 100kms. Considering I only have 750k's on the clock I thought it was pretty good (this was a good mix of city/highway driving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I only have 750k's on the clock I thought it was pretty good (this was a good mix of city/highway driving)that's about identical to what our computer is showing also, but the two times l have filled her up and calculated usage manually each fill l have found the computer was overstating usage by 0.3 - 0.4lt/100, so the actual consumption is probably under 12lt/100. Excellent considering the performance and the cars weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The computer said smack on 13 ltr/100k's after travelling about 300 odd k's, but when caculated it come to 12.1 Anyone else noticed this, or know why this is the case???

Anthony-XR6T Member 14 Member For: 22y 6d Location: Canberra Posted 31/12/02 01:27 AM Share Posted 31/12/02 01:27 AM My 2 cents worth. After owning a VX GEN III Calais for the past 2 years and then buying the XR6T, give me the XR6T any day. It handles sooo much better. It does not accelerate off the mark as quick as the VX but it sure does moove once you get it going. I went for the leather, REX, Sat Nav, Premium Sound in Blueprint (auto). It gets an amazing amount of looks around town. I couldn't be happier.The only mod I intend to make is a custom exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UNB-10 Guests Posted 31/12/02 02:29 AM Share Posted 31/12/02 02:29 AM I've found the same, not that impressive off the mark but I'm used to lag from previously owning a turbo skyline. I found by stalling it up to 2000rpm it leave the line awsome with a little wheel spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Turbo-6 Guests Posted 31/12/02 04:26 AM Share Posted 31/12/02 04:26 AM Despite having the seat in its lowest position, I still feel that I am sitting too high in the car. Other than that, everything else is pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the extra power it should be a great ride, and going from your comments I cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
