theyre smooth and when the charger kicks in on acceleration, they take off like a rocket
they have a blow off valve, so the charger only kicks in under heavy acceleration, which means economy is like a normal ecotec unless you give it a boot
the charger is supposed to last the life of the vehicle, so theres no additional service on that
check engine mounts if u get one tho, i found mine were cracked 1/2 way thru, and the rear tranny mount has a shake in it as well, which i havent got to yet.
besides that you wont be disappointed
i average 15l/100 doing only city driving with constant stop/start, and giving it a boot here and there

ill add, if youre getting one with leather interior, just about all of them are stuffed on the right hand side on the drivers seat
also if its a bit hard, head down to a saddlery shop and get "effax" its an austrian saddle cream, and applying that every few weeks over 6 months or so will bring it back pretty good

Mmmmm and they have an awesome stock exhaust system, quiet though.
Twin cat, twin muffler 2" into 2.25" single ressie system... getting mine chopped after the mufflers in favour of a twin 2.25" into 3" job... there will be some sound clips in my ride thread later today

- VS III Caprice
As an average (depending how you drive of course)
My VS Caprice brings back low-mid 8's on the highway (98RON Ultimate) and around the city 13-15l/100kms.
As for performance... does Barge or Tugboat mean anything to you
