Re: MPG - Again :-)

Re: XC40 T4 Inscription - Denim Blue

Sounds like we’ve chosen the same car DaveSig, other than diesel vs petrol.

No doubt the Inscription looks great in denim blue. Have to admit I enjoyed the guys at our local hand car wash swooning over it when we popped in!

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Just wondering if there's any air con factor in some of the lower than anticipated mpg some are mentioning. We've had a lot of unusually warm weather lately so I'd imagine the air con has been working pretty hard. Have read a few things about possible reduction of up to 25% (not XC40 specific) part...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Getting just over 40mpg average in my D4 over the first thousand miles - mainly motorway / autoroute but with a lot of short trips in between.

This is a long way down on the Golf I traded up for but, as someone up-thread said, it’s a 2 litre lump pulling a heavier, larger car.

Re: Delivery Date

Picked mine up this morning.

I’ll say this: denim blue on the Inscription looks flipping gorgeous.

Now just need to work out how to use all the bits. My first car 15 years ago was a Renault 5 campus (L reg). This one is a tiiiiny bit more advanced than that!

Re: Delivery Date

Re: Delivery Date

Mine’s just been brought forward to next week but, as the dealer says, we’ll believe it when we see it roll off the transporter.

Re: Delivery Date

Been asked to choose a reg plate for mine. Does that carry any meaning - eg that it physically exists and isn’t a pile of bits on a Belgian factory floor? Sounds promising. I haven't been offer that for my more recent cars but have in the past. Typically its a sign that they are close to registerin...
