Since recently I have been discussing how bad the 1.8 engine is, I would like to write a positive contribution to this engine! I’ve been driving my C30 1.8 for 4 months and a good 4000 km. So you can’t talk about the fact that the car has already really started. At the moment the consumption is steadily decreasing. If the good piece at the beginning was still more than 10 litres, I come now with normal driving on 8.6 liters with automatic climate control and winter tyres and light. Even with permanent motorway rides with speeds between 140 and 190 I didn’t get over a consumption of well 9 liters. (the consumption is always calculated) Wouldn’t have really thought that the motor developed so positively! Also the indicated final speed of 200 km/h exceeds the car quite easily. After I switched to the summer tires I wanted to know how much maximum in it is. On a slightly cut-off motorway piece the needle of the tachos was still written down a little bit less than 220km/h! Since the tacho in the C30 I was already a little surprised!
