Any Pug drivers on here?

Postby JP » Sat Nov 01, 2008 6:29 pm

Am considering getting a cheap second hand car for my daily work commute which is around 105 miles a day :shock: ....been fun driving the "1" around for 3 weeks but not good for mileage terms. Besides the petrol cost is beginning to be silly :roll:

What are Pugs like? Are they reliable and economical? Anything which gives over 35 mpg would be great!

Or does anyone recommend other cheap economical cars?

i wouldnt. got a pug 307 XSi... really nice 136bhp diesel full leathers.. but it has common faults like loss of power and its a bit... crap really.. french build.. depends on how much your spending aswell. if your spending around £3k id say get a golf GTTdi.. very nice cars.. if about £2k get a astra.. mine does 70 - 80 miles from £10 diesel so i cant complain

1. We got an area called "other marques"... Ever wondered what that is for ?

2. Can you specify your question ? "What are pug's f*cking like?", is about a question as stupid as asking whether a women f*cks well... :shake:
What are Subaru's like ? STi's a great but an 1986 1800 coupe doesn't quite cut it. :?

I can think of at least one Pug I'd swap my Evo (or any scoob) for any time...

There is a standard one in Monaco for sale with 30K kms for 55000 Euros. Then there is a 305bhp version in Geneve with 30K kms for 85000 Euros.

Given teh easy of tuning these, I'd keep the 30000 Euros for some fun mods ;)
