it's a my02 B4 (01 year) is a little high in clicks (140) but i got a decent price, i had to get it from a yard (loan conditions) but comes with a warrenty. yeah the drive back will be a new expirence for me, whoooo cruise control and air hahahaha the swift has niether lol

I'll be taking picks all the way back, i should be down friday morning none of this is 100% but yeah it's about 90% a mate who works in a yard up here quoted me 1500 bucks!! I was like stuff that.

Boomer, hate to tell you, no cruise in a B4:mad: (unless it's had A/M one fitted)
If you're over 6ft. then don't expect a real comfortable long distance drive either, especially without cruise. I can't spend more than 3 hours at the wheel without cramping up and I have to stop and stretch my legs, it's such a pain. The seat doesn't go back far enough for me:angry2:

I drove mine to Canberra and back from Melb last year and got 610-620k's out of a tank, so 3.5 tanks will see you there easily IMO

Congratz on the purchase mate.  Car should easily run 10lts/100kms on the highway imo.  Of course, thats 'normal' highway driving.  Considering its ur new ride in the B4, i'm confident there will be alot of pedal to the medal along the way.  :victory:

Got anyone to help with the drive?  Or you whoring the drive to get acquainted with the new ride? smile

I got cruise.. stoked.  And I'm nearly 6'3 and I tilt the seat upwards (like bucket) and sit back..  I find I can't reach from all the way back (no memory! sad ) and the position is comfortable for hours..  (QLD-SYD)..

Lucky b@stard! smile  Are they an optional extra brand new or is that an aftermarket CC?

You are lucky.....maybe the stealer had an a/m company come in and fit pre-delivery. IIRC, the factory CC control unit mounts where one of the turbo's is (or very close, causing a heat problem, hence no factory CC)

I have toyed with the idea of getting it, but as this is our 2nd car and just a runabout for me to and from work, can't really see the point.
Our family car has the cruise for trips away, the B4 is just too small for us as a family car.

Will be taking that to QLD in Aug, cruise all the way....haha...

well on the sales thing it says it has cruise control so we will see when i get there, as for the height thing I am 6'1 BUT i currently own a swift so it will be a step up in leg room.

if I get 600 k's outta a tank, i'll be a happy boy

hehehe if you can fit in a swift, the B4 would be no probs! smile  I presume the car is stock so i would say you should get 600kms/tank comfortably, or at least 550.

Congrats and welcome!

Cuise control too, wow nice, as for leg room, you will cramp up dude as I get stiff legs on long drives, as the electric seat doesn;t go back far enough, I'ev always been interested to nkow if this can be modded some how

yeah it's stocko. well other than cruise and tinted windows

the swift width wise is great but length wise is a bit cramped. i will be stopping every couple of hours anyway so it will be fine, i am a big guy so anything i sit in other than a hummer i will feel cramped!! 

what doyou guys think about getting some octain booster for the trip??

I have cruise - It's awesome on the flat, crap through hills. It is similar to that from the Forester, which was factory, but not great quality.

I'm 6'2 - the only issue is the seat could be lower. But I regularly drive 6/7 hours a day, without an issue - so it may come down to posture?

Cheers,
Nik

If you plan your trip/stops where there is a major Shell/BP, you wouldn't need an Octane Booster.  Had to do that with me bro's rex when we drove to Qld.
