A few 3.2 V6 questions before I possibly take the plunge

[BRODERS01]

Hi FOG'ers,

I am looking at trading my 2.2dti for the bigger 3.2 LWB as I need a bit more room for the family, but need some answers before committing.

Could the current owners answer a few questions for me please to help push me either towards the purchase...

1. With Petrol at £1:31ltr how much does it cost to fill it?

2. How many miles do you get with a full tank:
a: Around Town
b: On the motorway

3. Leg room on the rear seats - is it comfortable for adults on longer journey's?

I hope you can help.

Thanks in advance

Fuel tank is same size on all Fronty's, so will cost same as now to fill up. Click the link for all the facts & figures on the V6. I chose the auto in the list, as it will get lower MPG than the manual, so this should be worst case.....

Cheers for that info James.

I will have a good look at the link and make my decision.

80 litres to fill a lwb the swb is only 60 litres mate so you can work that out for yourself as for mpg i dont think theyre much worse than the 2.2 petrol but a lot more thirsty than your swb dti so expect to get somewhere between high teens to mid twentys

do it v6 is great

[andysd1]

on a nice run 300 ish miles on a full tank,

[fogman]

so 80L divided by 4.5 to get gallons = 17.7 gallons
300 miles divided by 17.7 = 16.9 mpg
you need a lighter right foot andy
