Hired a nice A4, great car it must be said! Loved it!
It was really nice, handles great, new A4 1.8 turbo, 8 speed (that was in fact a cvt, but hard to know) Looking at reviews after I had it I read this: All up, the A4 is a better performer, using under 7 litres/100km around town, which blew to 8.5 litres/100km when the little four-cylinder was worked hard. Government combined city/hwy average is 7.4. hmm, I got 20 litres per hundred on my first day, that was 61 litres for 305km!, and 18.5l/hundred on my second day.. thats near 300% worse! That leads me on to say, when the falcon gets its 2.0 turbo, sure it maybe economical idling around slow, but get it on a bit of boost, and it is guaranteed to be the worst performer as far as economy in the whole range. Seriously, can you even get 20 litres per hundred in a GT or XR8?!! |
