i get any where between about 20 - 35 tops!!! and 30 - 35 is when i'm trying to drive sensibly!!!!!!!
about 25-30 mostve the time. That might be down to the fact my foot seems constantly pinned to the floor the 1.4's really are gutless and 5th is way too undergeared it should be doing 75 at 3000 revs i reckon not 65. Anyone else notice that it only pulls between 3000 and 4000 revs hardly anything either side of those bands. Thank god for my bike.
lmao, to get 40 yes, but my normal driving, which isn't slow, will give me med to high 30's. It's only a 1.4 lol and being an 8v there's no point caning it.
yeh thats what i think when im draining petrol outv'e the thing. If only cupra's were as cheap to insure as the 1.4.
i think i can get 30 with driving half and half, a bit more occasionally. But last time i was driving for more than a week petrol was 10p cheaper!!!! Now its gonna hit the wallet big time so might have to adopt this 40mpg nun style driving i think
well my mid-high 30s is attained due to being a lowly student and trying to cling on to petrol lol. Also, the 40 i got was with my 1st ever tank to see what it could do. Stil, dont see how people can just be gettin 25ish!

Just bought one of these speed demons with my 17 yr old son' as his first car a lot better than the pug 206's we where also considering.Really good level of kit on as standard, just one question its a S so what is the difference if any between the S and a Chill?
Chill gets aircon, leccy windows, alloys and a CD Changer as standard as it was the end of run model and they kitted them high. Never seen one with painted calipers as standard.
Dunno bout the aircon zapping power, ours shifts very well for what it is
as long as i don't plant my foot on the floor, i get about the same mpg with and without induction kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tell you what's a huge fuel saver though.... gettin rid of excess weight! i spent a while with no spare wheel and the car not only went faster but saved on fuel.... but then realised it was pretty stupid going around with no spare wheel, ha!

Hi all only just found this thread and ive got 1.4 chill.
Strensall i can't tell you how highly i reccomend the chill cuz its equipped to the max but i never use the air con cuz the car feel sluggish and cuz it stink cuz i havent got it cleaned but that doesnt matter cuz thatsd what the leccy windows are for.
Also what do people think would be the best looking exhaust to put on a 1.4 beeza im booked into the garage for a custom one next week and was gunna go for an oval but just really wanna know what other people thinka nd if anyone has got an exahaust on there's and if they could put a pic up
many thanks

oval back boxes look amazing on cupras, so on a 1.4? Yeh why not. Powerflow can tailor one for your needs-size, sound etc and seem gd price.
I'm considering the same as current exhaust is bit blowy. Just found out today insurance wont cover sports exhaust though as im 18 :S

yer i phoned up powerflow in southampton (where I am) and it was 225 all in but they have crap reviews and have been told they are cowboys so have gone with a company called stealth in southampton and they are meant to be quality so hopefully will get a really good looking and sounding exhaust am missing a bit of college to go and get it done and its gunna take em half a day lol so they obviously take their time
