940 2.0 Turbo

Palmer · May 17th, 2010, 18:16

Hai, im deciding what car to get next. I can afford to insure a 2.0 940 turbo. I came across one on the net and it looked so nice, plus it had full leather, air con, all electrics etc. So im seriousely considering it.

However im wondering how thirsty these are? I know the 2.3's get like 22-25 mpg but what about the 2.0?

I presume like most 900 / 700 series they are fairly reliable?!

Also how easy is it to get a little more power from them, i presume they can't be chipped so....

Thanks!

Palmer

Hi ive got the 940 SE Turbo 2lt est I can get about 25 mpg all depends how heavy footed u are

never had any major problems with mine just silly little bits that need'ed doing mainly due to age off car (new rad disks bulbs )

as for chiping yes theres some where i saw where they will re-map the ecu for about £300-400 i think

Do you get 25 m/way or around town or both? lol.

i kinda go a bit over the speed lim on motorways so it does go down a bit

over all i would say about 20-30 mpg if A roads and M roads short trips are not too good on it either

Yeah i didnt think the fuel consumption was particularly good, but then again its a small price to pay for comfort / reliability i think...

Mine is a 2.0 ltr N/A manual. It never drops below thirty mpg, but I am very light footed! A lot of people don't rate the 2.0 ltr non turbo cars, but i've been driving mine, for nearly four years and it suits me fine. Also the insurance is reasonable. But, the tank from empty, costs the thick end of £100 to fill up!
