hmmm *smiles* my 1.4 205 GR gets about 35mpg at the mo. 60 on motorways though at 56mph Awesome little car, no of these aformentioned 'electrical gremlins' because it doesn't have any. Most electrically technical minus the headunit is the windscreen wipers I've always wanted a gti, although the gearbox in the 1.9 is pretty piss poor, for the extra 25bhp (compared to the 1.6gti) you lose out of power simply because of the box. In the ideal world, people buy 1.9 gti engines and swap the gearbox for a 1.6 one = Awesome machine. Then you can go to twin webers, turbo chargers, super chargers etc. Like this young man here:
