There pretty thirsty. Max my brother got out of a 60l tank was 500k compared to a 4cyl of a similar size getting 650-700k to a 60l tank of the same era of that engine.

I have a VR-4 Legnum, which is similar to a 2.5 V6 except AWD and twin turbo. Very good car - I get about 10L/100km on the open road and 6L/100km around town, which isn't bad all things considered.

Yeah I get similar fuel economy out of my Legnum VR-4.Would suggest OP considers a vr-4 actually.

first of all you dont buy any mitsubishi next thing you never buy a v6 as all have head craking issues some more some less .And if you must buy a mitsubishi you would want to ask phillip weston or what ever his nick is what one is the least worst of all mitsis and most (gdi) are no good either just so you know

Yeah that is a typo for sure. maybe 16l/100km.Auto and tiptronic trans are very average.A few of my mates have owned them and just about all have had issues with the electrics too.There are better cars out there.

Used to get about 300km on a tank in my VR-4 round town. Best on a trip, maybe 50% more. Got from Queenstown to Chch on a tank once. Not in any way economical, but great fun.

I have a 2.5 v6 non gdi4wd and a tank takes about 50 litres and I push to get 400kms from a tank round town got 500 when I went to Dunedin. So no it isnt good but it does drive very nice.
