I like the idea of a Monaro to. Most of my driving is freeway driving so I think it would suit all the cruising I do.

Whats the fuel use like?

When you say lazy performance do you mean its not all that quick or is it that you can drop it in to 5th gear at 30KMH and drive it like an auto and ride the torque or tick along at 100KMH with 1500RPM?
By lazy I meant as opposed to the RX8 which was all high revs and gear changes, yes in the Monaro if I'm just cruising around I can actually go 2nd-4th-6th and around the suburbs generally just 3rd & 4th. Bags of torque for a lazy drive, which suits me perfectly for now.

I've done just over 2000km since I've had it, all Metro and hardly any freeway. Mostly running my 16yo daughter and her friends to and from parties, cheerleading, school, shopping etc rolleyes I am suddenly the preferred chauffer hehe Currently showing overall average of 15.5l/100km or around 18MPG which is ok, I have a fairly heavy right foot wink
