I've been looking at some TX5's for the last few weeks, and I've been just missing out on a couple of the deals. One got bought by a wholesaler 30min before I went back to nab the car, and for less than I had offered...
Anyways, I've noticed that the 4's seem to drink about 10L/100km on city cycle, but can't seem to find an official figure for the 6's, other than 12-13L/100km (which has been bandied around the net). I'm not after an Automatic box, just as a personal preference (I hate the way the Torque Converters/boxes work). Basically, I'm not looking for much more than the 10L/100km for the 6 with reasonable driving - not alot of thrashing. I'm a student, and after a nice car but dont want to go back to the days of the EB falcon (12-14L), otherwise I'll just go out and try pick up an ED-EL Ghia. If anyone's kind enough, I'm also looking for torque/power/fuel cons. figures, and wether the gearbox is the same on the 4 or v6... Cheers, Jon. |

What year are you after?
My '85 AS Telstar TX5 Ghia gets 11.5L/100km, best I've got was 9.5 on distance cruising, worse was 13 with `spirited driving'. As for torque/power, `not much' springs to mind  I think you'll probably find the V6 gets the same as your EB... Cheers |
