Noncompusmentis Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hey guys and girls..After selling my Arosa 3 years ago... I'm back on the hunt for a Lupo!I sold the Arosa so I could buy a camper, the camper didn't work out too economical to drive as a daily, so I've ended up driving a volvo s40. And while that's cheap enough to run, it's boring!I want a tiny car again!!Quick question though... the Arosa I had was the 60bhp 1.4s, and I was only getting about 34mpg out of that. I've been looking at 1.4tdi's, but I think they're a bit out of my price range at the moment, so have been looking at 1.0 & 1.4 petrol lupos from around year 2000 mark. can I expect better MPG from these than I did with the Arosa... and any pointers on what to look out for.Cheersandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlorry Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 What about an SDI, if you aren't in a particular hurry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noncompusmentis Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I thought about an SDi, but then I looked at the performance figures... and I thought that I'd be able to run quicker!!Having never driven an SDi, I don't have any experience on what they're like. They just sound pretty slow.What are your experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycat Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 SDi's are sloooowwww but who cares when your car is that cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Phase Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 a 1.4 16V (75 or 100bhp) should be more economical than your arosa since that was only 8V =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
