Alas this car does not like to be driven "nicely"... I find the gearbox comes into its own in the heat of battle!

True story and you can even light up the rears changing from 1st to 2nd.

just being on this forum during the day makes me want to go for a drive...
I guess that's when you know you like your car...

Like? I'm in bloody love!

Look forward to driving to work in the mornings, and at work I look forward to driving home!

Which may be even easier with the standard's 205 tyres... You can also get the traction control flashing on a fast down-change for overtaking...

Annoying sometimes...

I can relate. Sitting in Mauritius and am missing my car. It's a tough life

Not greatly without help. Read this thread for more info:

22064 km
I've had my FR-S since May 31, 2012. I use it as a daily driver, but I do not live in Africa!
When was this car first available on the African continent?

I agree, u get that kadoef from the diff, when u drive it easy.

KapteinBos · 02-07-2013, 01:46 PM

4500 km and finally seeing between 7 and 8 litre / 100km... Not often but its there...

sieglapj · 02-07-2013, 03:43 PM

8,5 l/100k's with 13k on the clock. And I drive like a maniac. Who needs a hybrid.

Mike Hoxbig · 02-09-2013, 06:33 AM

The onboard computer is a bit optimistic. It indicated 8.1l/100km and I calculated 8.5l/100km at my last fill-up. Have about 600km on the clock.

Vic_RSA · 02-09-2013, 06:46 AM

Guzzles in the first few 1000km...

Gets a bit better later on. Head for Harties tomorrow morning and get some km on it!
