Hiya,
First off what a nice site! really well laid out, been having a read at the buying guides etc but still wanted to ask a few questions if you can spare the time
Currently driving my beloved lil starlet which i refuse to sell but with a baby on the way we've been thinking about the idea of having 4 doors and a boot. Has to be Jap and cool so the first car that popped into my mind was the VR4 estate.
I remember seeing one years ago when use to hang around at my mates tuning garage and i always loved them, and the fact you dont see many on the road is a nice bonus!
The car will mainly be used for the school run and to the shops etc but would also be lovely to be able to use it to go the local jap meets if need be. So my first question is what are they like fuel consumption wise driving around very mundane at 30mph or so? as monday to friday that will prob be the case!
Also been looking at a few online and seen some quite tasty ones from a guy who trades under the name of Phat N Modified, anyone got any feedback on them? I have searched using the search bar but it only brought up two threads which didnt say much either way.
Also is there any common faults too look out for? Does the transmission do the car proud? i only ask as im currently pushing the boundaries of my automatic starlet with the bhp but its abit of an unknown area of how much power/torque it can handle, is there any issues with these?
Anyway thanks for reading i shall look forward to the replies
