I tried to race a maloo from the lights in our 1.8 toyota corolla (auto), needless to say we didn't win!

Also had a spin in the v6 4.0 litre turbo xr6 ute, just as mad above 2000 rpm...... :eek2

Petrol is still around the £1 region so no probs there. I think about 19mpg. Just like a rang rover-ish :D
