SeraTaru Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Great fun to drive, gets a lot of looks from passers by, but in hindsight wish I'd gone for the Audi TT - at least it gives you double the mpg! TBH think I'll keep it for 6 months then sell it Edited March 7, 2019 by SeraTaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH think I'll keep it for 6 months then sell it Not cheap on petrol. I could get a TT but the numerous issues and the less soulful drive is not really appealing. Also they are so common. The car can get 23-28 mpg avg over time on extra urban roads if youre driving around the city it will drop to 18mpg if you floor it 16.8 mpg just like the GTR. I used to take mine for drive on motorway to get premium fuel across town almost every week. Makes a difference to the mpgs. Some weeks were £30 on fuel other weeks when I put my foot down £50-£60. I once went for a drive on sunny saturday. Windsor, farnham, hounslow, denham, central london. I covered 50 miles hard driving within the law. Kept an eye on temperature. I used £20 which is 4 gallons . On a car like this its not bad when you think how much smaller engines with turbos would use. You wana ride a rollercoaster you got to pay up or you can always get a small hybrid coupe like I did with no power and a £1000 battery . Oh and kids love the 370. So its worth it!

Thanks for this detail! I've been having a love hate with the car and it's all about the petrol. I'm 51 years old this year and it feels like I've a 25 year old girlfriend hanging on my arm....everyone's giving me looks, it's great fun to drive (ride?) but boy she's expensive However the love is growing. Spent 3 hours yesterday polishing and cleaning.....then went to the shops to get nothing in particular just so I could tool around in her And yes you're right - wife and I now play "spot the TT"...…. so common.

Justthejedi Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Welcome the club, really like your wheels, they’re Japan racing wheels I see, are they 19 or 20’s?.....the colour and style really suit the 370. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think as time goes on you'll love it more. I came close too, but those other cars dont really provide the same satisfaction. People look as its quite rare but also the design is timeless much like the 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
