    My car

    An update to my previous review. The electrical glitches Imentioned do not really exist. Ihad not realised that the air conditioning comes on automatically if you set the heating fan to clear the windscreen.

    Performance and fuel consumption have improved now we have more miles on the clock. A recent trip on the M4/M5 saw fel consumption, according to the trip computer, rise well over 45mpg according to the trip computer, at a steady seventy miles per hour. Not bad for an automatic. I think if our journey had been longer it might have shown better than 50mpg, as I did not reset the computer when joining the motorway. The trip computer seems to be overestimating actual fuel consumption a bit. All in all my wife and I are very pleased indeed with this car.
