    Bumping this rather then making a new thread, I've got the same problem, about 10 miles to warm up and if cruising then the temp will drop to about 70-80. Had the thermostat changed today but no improvement :/ ? Thanks all

    3.2 owners opinions please

    Thankyou guys the way I look at it, the money they go for 4-5k vs similar spec 2.0T the difference, possibly a few thousand will pay to take a few less mpg overall, I don't do many miles so shouldn't be too much an issue, they sound lovely.. Just gotta get saving :0
