Well done VW!

Phew, what a relief. I've been getting so much grief at the office for buying a "gas guzzler". Now I'll be able to tell them my roc is not only prettier than the Prius (no competition there) but also greener! It practically makes its own rain forest every time I drive it. :mrgreen:

Not sure if the fuel economy will get better (1200 km on the meter now) when the engine gets run in... So far I've been perfectly happy with averaging 7.2 litre/100 km (33 mpg) mostly in city traffic and on longer trips (from the city to the summer house) without even trying to be green the consumption has been a tree hugging 5.6 l/100 km (42 mpg).

And yes, it is quick enough :angel:
