Re: MPG - Again :-)

36.8mpg on my D4 auto FE with 3,500 on the clock.

Majority are short runs of less than 20 miles.

Re: Hello from Consett

A warm welcome from a Northumbrian, nice to see someone from the north east on here!

Worth the wait and hopefully in time to enjoy the Consett winter!

Re: Off Road anyone tried it yet?

Took it off road in north Northumberland and it seemed to handle the varying surfaces quite well, adapting to any skids or slides. Haven't done any hard core offroading like I did with my old 4x4 or when at work surveying, too expensive a car to risk damaging it!

Re: Start/Stop Default To Off - Comfort Mode - New Update

I prefer the stop start to be on all the time. Why can't we just set the defaults ourselves according to our own preferences rather than setting it each time?

Re: New XC40 v. E-Pace comparison from Oz

Glad I didn't know the launch edition was low as $56k in Australia, might have been tempted! Last time I looked, Volvo website was quoting $70k or thereabouts.

Re: Big Blue on holiday

Ah you're up in neck of the woods. Should take yourself up past Belsay on a road from Morpeth, Scotts Gap and eventually to Kielder Water. Some single tracks but some nice open views of the wilderness.

Same I'm not in the country at the moment, would have been fun to do a meet up!

Shame they didn't do this earlier as I had insurance with them for over 12 years.

Re: Standard or Premium Fuel?

Was hovering around 35 MPG to about 2,000 miles, then a long run to Suffolk with little runs around Stoke-by-Nayland made it go up to 47 MPG.

Seems to be hovering in the mid 40s now. :)
