full tank diesel, that project was easy. I had a half butted rabbit with a badly bent front end and dog chain holding down the hood thumping 3 wobby wheels four different tires and top speed of 70..at over 60 mpg with carbon spewing everywhere.

I ponder a 3 main boxer, diesel, anything but FWD, and a wagon...100mpg in the same liter range, I would wager it before it began. Turbo models 0-60 in the same 7sec target range, and even less... the top gear show did something already known. give any care at all to the diesel and it responds...even on that horrid design. Imagine if they made a transmission and body correct with an engine that loves torque already? the engineers are so freakin blind...
