A friend of mine reckons his standard one does around 33mpg but I think that was a mixture of motorways and town driving
I'm thinking of using my BT stage 3 as a daily runner which is currently doing about 10mpg due to the ancient bayjoo chip but will be sorting this asap
Youth, why doesn't it do it any good? I've always thought using a car often and keeping up with regular maintainance is perfectly fine. I see your point about other people damaging them etc though

Thats my main problem could i put up with two old fords, saying that i have not had any problems with my car that havent been related to upping the power. It would just get used as a daily car and get left where ever as it would only ow me the same as the x5.

I dont use mine all that much but i see between 25-30 mpg just driving it around locally. Would never use one as an everyday car though. As said, too risky leaving it anywhere out of sight.

i used my ST esc cos daily for 5 years,it never missed a beat in that time.the most reliable car i've ever had!!.....The only worrying thing was leaving it in a car park and dreading some fat cappuccino drinking cow in her X5 wearing the darkest Prada sun glasses parking next to me and leaving me with a new swage line

I remember when i used to take mine to work on nice days every now and then. I could see it from where i was working and used to have my own 'double space' in the car park.

Such a shame really, but i suppose its always going to be the same with cars like this.

it would be nice to use one as an everyday car but i would be the same as everyone else,i would be scared to leave it any where in case someone damaged it. When i had my old sierra hatchback that was parked at morrisons and i came out and the front bumper what lying on the floor with the glass from the headlight. Someone had hit it and pissed off. I would be gutted if i had a escos and it happened the that.

if it would have been a bmw they still would have drove off. i dont understand peoples mentality when they say i wouldnt want to drive it incase it gets damged, would want to park it up incase someon nicks it..
cars get damged and nicked evryday wether it be bmw, vauxhalls, mercedes.. i understand that a escos is more vunerable to being nicked but at the same time why own a car just for a couple hours use a weekend.

I cleaned my x5 this morning and took some pics, it cleaned up that well i did have second thoughts.
Boring might be a good thing less chance of me messing about with it , saying that the one i want to go look at has coilovers and 18" comps on it already.
