yeah got a/c but not climate control which allows you to change the temperature of the air for the driver and passengers

the noise is addictive and so are the pops and tscchhh sound from the re-circ dumpv alue thingy

tank was full when i got it, done 105 miles and now on half a tank 55 litre tank aswell

105 miles on half a tank isn't that bad.

210 miles from 55 litres (i.e £70 worth)

First thousand miles are to be enjoyed

It works out at about 17.5mpg.

I suppose it could be a little better, but for your first 100 miles thats not too bad. I'm assuming you've had quite a heavy right foot.

yeah heavy right foot but i'm calming down now, don't wanna end up spending loads on fuel. i've budgeted £50 a week on fuel as i only live 6 miles from work so should be able to keep to that.

i'll definitely enjoy it at the weekends though and spend more on petrol
