All of those look terribly photoshopped.
i hope they are, but aside from some spy shots with very camoed cars, this is all the web has to offer...

Truth, he speaks!
(BTW, is the X3 any good, anyway? )
The only time lack of weight helps in snow is when you're stuck.
I would very much like having a 2.0TDI over my front wheels in winter.
I'd be very suprised if the cost cutting took away the electronic rev limiter... But it should kick in at no more than 7000 max.
now I'll have to kick its ass for while and see if the mpg suffers
The average readout on the Yaris was 48mpg, I did the maths a few times and the computer's avg was always within 1mpg of my calculations. Never got it much below that and I drove that car hard, red-lining it every time I accelerated and going flat out everywhere. I once drove out to Aberdeen in a convoy with a Focus 1.6S and a Golf GTi and we must have been doing 85-90mph most of the way and I STILL never got under 45mpg. :lol:
The Corsa is different, I drive it 1000x more gentle than the Yaris and get 43mpg, this rapidly drops if I want to go fast but I prefer a leisurely run up to 60mph and consuming less fuel now-a-days!
You are getting 51mpg, your car is lighter but I'm not sure of the gear ratios on the C1. At 60mph the Yaris was doing 3,300rpm or so, I'd imagine the C1 is quite similar. The Corsa does 2,500rpm at the same speed, in fact I rarely pass 2,500rpm in the Corsa whereas I would change up a gear at 3,500-4,000rpm in the Yaris all the time, yet the Corsa is still considerably faster. :lol:As I speak metric, i dont really know my mpg... but its true that driving style has little effect on mileage in these small cars... Corsa chavtastic you own will be different and much more powerful, I imagine you dont need to redline it to keep up with motorway traffic
Biggest difference between my C1 and your exYaris is weight

Amusingly the Dolomite does at least 3,500rpm at 60mph, possibly more (no rev counter), so it's 35mpg (8.0 l/100 km) average is pretty impressive considering it's running a carburettor and I've never tuned it.
I'm still better offThe only function of a wheel cover is to look better than the black steel wheel underneath.
