Just a quick update...

No issues or problems to report, now at 29K miles and 3 yrs & 2 months old.

Had a new windscreen middle of last year, due to stone damage... AutoGlass replaced it, but noticed a small amount of water in footwell within 24hrs, so Autoglass fitted another screen, now no water. - They said a misplaced seal can cause water to run through the heater system. Glad I noticed it immediately.

New set of 4 tyres at 27K miles, replaced a bit early as I kerbed the Left front at 50mph and split the wall, but no damage to the 19" alloy at all! Went for Goodyear F1 - pleased with these. Wet grip is noticeably better than the PZero Scorpions.

Still a fantastic car... no thoughts of replacing her.

Welcome, Saastig!

I'm getting up to 34mpg from the dashboard liar on a run, but when I did the proper maths it works out as 10% less than what the computer says...
So in the real world, 29-30mpg on a run, and maybe 24mpg around town- not that I do much around town driving in mine!

If yours is an MY12 with the 8 speed box, then you should be getting 30+ on a run easily, and about 27 around town, unless you're wearing lead clogs, that is  You can't see the eyes of the demon until him come callin'

Hi Saastig,
Sorry about the delayed reply.
I have an indicated 29mpg on the dash over the past approx6000miles, that's all types of driving and includes occasional towing of the horse trailer... by the missus (but she does go slowly!!)
Tyre pressure seems to make a real difference to mpg. I tend to keep the live MPG displayed (it feels good when its reads 99 lol) and after checking and adjusting (UP) tyre pressures its noticeably better when doing the same journey. Also if the tyres are low she seems a bit slow off the mark.
hope that helps. KPW RRS MY12 SE Siberian Silver, Ocean, Ivory and Walnut.
