You got me man. It’s incredibly obvious that my civic’s 45mpg is total shit to your TDI’s alleged 55mpg. Apparently you aren’t wise with your money if you aren’t rocking a TDI and getting 50+ mpg.

lol you guys are totally arguing over who has the girlier car. congrats you are both gigantic MO’s.

No, there is now way a civic coupe will get better MPGS as a TDI sorry try again. I have seen mid 50s MPG when I had my TDI, I am very accurate with filling my tank. 800+ miles on one tank.
A civic VX on the other hand will be a good competitor for the TDI

the VX stock averages 40-55mpg, and guys have pulled 70+mpg out of them. not sure what was done to them tho.

it didn’t say it was shit you I just wanted you to agree with badnewsmini when you said :

I have a hard time agreeing with you on this one.

My TDIs 55mpg is proven I have reciepts to prove it just like your alleged 45mpg; I have seen 800+ miles out of my thank a few times, I doesn’t happen all the time, but on long trips where I was not speeding.
Wow I just wasted that much time arguing about MPG :bloated:

Sureshot! has a coupe not a VX
coupes probably wont see much more then 35mpg. The VX had a motor designed for gas mileage. They were faster then DX`s too, oh and had vtec-E, DAN!
[quote=“93dx–hatch,post:46,topic:36041"”]
vx only had 92hp where the dx had 103hp and higher redline
[/quote]
correct BUT,
the VX was 2,094lbs compared to the DX 2,178lbs. Having almost a 100 less pounds and being only 10 hp and 1 lb trq less then the dx, 10 hp more wouldn’t make up for the extra 100lbs the dx had on the vx.
track times
VX - 16.5
DX - 16.8
AAAAH SHIT WHATS UP NOW!! lol
someone would buy this and try to hit 1 million miles and it would die at 999,999mi
:shrug:
Assuming a 10MPG difference, and a $.20 price premium for unleaded over disel that is a $20,000 cost in gas alone.
While you may make fun of VWs for being maintenance whores, using my 150,000 A4 as an example, assume the major expenses added up to $5000, versus maybe $1500 over the same period for the VW. That is a $21000 maintenance difference.
Net and net, you’re almost even.
Its hardly “mad cheaper”, sorry Honday boiz.
You must have not seen the price of diesel lately because its about $.30 more than unleaded
Incredible…
if you dont own a honda, you are dumb
/thread.
seriously… look at the cackord. i wonder how long it would last if i actually maintained it…
the cost of owning a vw isnt really that bad…
its bad for those who have to pay for labor, and when things go they usually follow a pattern…
besides, there way more comfortable,
i drove my civic from buffalo to cleveland 210 miles one way, then back on one tank 420 miles to the tank… i.e. 41 mpg…
i also drove my gti from buffalo to toledo ohio a 310 mile one way trip. and around and back… approx 650 miles. filled up 1.5 times, for a mpg of 35 at 75…
if i have to replace 2 more parts a year on the gti then the civic and spend even 1000 more dollars to own a vw i will just because of how comfortable it is…
and dont even get me started on safety =)
hondas are just very reliable bikes but rather with 4 wheels and shift linkage that never stays in one place =)
^ have you driven a NEW honda?
I really don’t think a vw is more comfortable than a honda

Werd… Go get a accord
Ive been in a new passat, 2 jettas and something that i dont know what it was, and… eh, theyre not that fantastic IMO…
If I were Honda I’d buy this thing, baby it to a million miles, then advertise the shit out of it.

i would highly advise you refrain from arguing with bandwagon idiots.
before you go for the obvious retort, realize i made this post from my windows PC.
yes i have…
you get more for 17,000 in a VW then you ever will in a Honda… period
