Re: fuel consuptions
My D3 is averaging over 50mpg, generally mid 40s for town driving 20-30 minutes, and just over 60 for a good motorway drive.

Re: Internet Maps, android auto & HereWeGo
The onboard map. If you’re using android auto, just search on your phone the normal way, plug your phone into the car, job done.

Re: Tyre recommendations?
I’m in the Contis, about to reach 18k and nowhere near ready for replacement. How did the previous owner get through them so quickly?! With AWD, it should wear much more evenly, or is it a Haldex clutch system?

Re: Steering wheel chrome insert ?
It is a chrome insert on my Inscription. (MY 2019, UK spec) Interesting, I don’t have it on my 2019 spec Inscription Pro, just The chrome around the side arms, not the lower arm. I also did expect it on the Inscription and in Inscription badge like the boot. Hardly the end of the world though, and ...

Re: Tow Bar Mounted Bike Rack - Advice / help on one that works
Can they make that a condition for replacement/refund/redress when the design or quality is not adequate?

Re: Dog guard
I’ve got the original, and it’s great that it lifts out of the way so neatly. Worth paying the extra in my opinion - although it is expensive.

Re: Apple CarPlay and Sensus Internet Connection
+1. It might seems silly paying extra, but really it’s a small cost to make things a lot simpler.

Re: First slippery road alert
I’ve had a few now. The risk I’m seeing is that they’re beginning to feel a bit like the kid that cried wolf, and at risk of being ignored. There’s a particular speed bump (cushion I think is the technical term) I have to go over on my way to work, but there’s always an idiot with a juke parked dang...

Re: HiFi - users experiences
Yes, it’s the same with the standard. I do think it’s worth paying the extra for smartphone integration. My mum’s a real technophobe, but since introducing her to CarPlay, she’s never looked back. As Chris says, if you don’t want to go the streaming route, I use Apple Music for what it’s worth, and ...

Re: Sports exhaust system
That’s the thing though, sports exhaust (to me anyway) means louder, noisier, annoying residents and pedestrians, breaching noise pollution limits, and should carry points and a fine (actually does, but the police don’t enforce it). They drive me made where I live.
