nickmaire 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks Nicko, your reply really helps. As I said on my previous post, it's on the list because it's a Porsche that can take 3 people in comfort not because it's a SUV. I don't really care whether it's a SUV or not as I don't do water sports, don't have any real horses or race cars meaning no need to tow anything. Will be better if I can fit 3 people comfortably into a 997. Funny how this topic becomes a discussion about build quality in general. Cheers! Build quality is always hit and miss... I had up until the end of last year the '06 Audi 4.2l V8 RS4 Avant... talk about lack of build quality! Fantastic engine, average gearbox, decent grip and the only Audi that communicated on the road. But sh*t kept on breaking!!! Failing shocks, transmission replaced, rear blind snapped, hole wore through floor mat at 30,000Km, rear calipers failed, and more! Honestly does not matter what the brand is you always come across build/batch/material quality issues. Love my '86 M635CSi because when something breaks it is because it is 24 years old! Nicko.

my_e36 43 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 My car was made in Spain and yes it's a diesel. Even with RUC, it's bloody cheap to run. As some of you know I am a courier using that as my delivery car. 80% inner Auckland-city driving, 45 litre tank ($50-ish to fill), I do 600km per tank easy while on the job. On out-of-town delivery where 90%+ motorway, I've recorded ~1080km on a single tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
