13-15L/100km?? that's higher than what i get from the GTI (average 11L/100km). but i'm on about 9-10L/100km on the EP3 so i guess you have more fun than me :p

Yeah EP3s are very fuel efficient, thanks to the K20A :thumbsup: Just don't go vtec'ing too often :p

Yep fuel economy sux... boost comes on low and strong so fuel is there to back it up = crap fuel consumption

Yeah i like the look of the golf but the turbo is what wrecked it... Would deffinately buy an R32 golf if it were in the price range :p

You will go crazy after a while, I noticed compared to a ek there isnt much we could do to the EP3 for some reason.

Hey guys/girls might be getting an EP3R at the end of the year. Just a question for you guys/girls, importers cant import the Facelift model for us?

Just got a reply back from Carizma in Melbourne today and they said can't import them. I've seen facelifts here before though....unless they are private imports....

Get one! Do it! you will never regret it. They are great cars haha. And you can chill on this thread with us :eek:

No you can definitely import the facelift. If I was to live in japan as if you wouldn't bring back the FD2 :D

I would like to know this aswell from all the GruppeM owners out there.

I heard on the DC5 you don't have to cut anything and it is pretty much the same design.
