JonMad Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I know I'm preaching to the converted here, but what the hell. Some thoughts: 1.6 TDCi Titanium As a commuting/shopping/crap weather car - single button demist for the heated front screen, max fan on and heated rear screen has been very handy - f/r parking sensors, decent all-round visibility and a tight turning circle and light steering at low speed make this easy - nice, quick slick gearchange - averaging 49mpg - a bit reluctant to engage reverse cleanly, maybe just when cold. - keyless entry is great for dumping shopping in the boot, folding mirrors a useful visual clue that the car is locked. - revs round to 4500+ easily but a bit slow to pull away. Doesn't half make my Merc feel quick though. - small enough that girlfriend happy to drive it but doesn't feel flimsy (car, not girlfriend) - outside temp display nice to have. - I like the colour and it hides the dirt well As a motorway car - cruise and climate control nice to have - a bit noisy - road noise - but ok at a cruise. < 3krpm at motorway speeds but could do with a 6th gear. I've only tried to go from 4th to 6th twice. Neither time have I succeeded. - at night, dash is just a tad too bright and this is non-adjustable. also I'd like a button to turn the stereo etc. dash button lights off at night, whilst keeping the stereo and bluetooth on. - still only averaging 49mpg. Not the claimed 65 combined or 80 extra urban. - bluetooth works well for hands-free calls. good navigation of and playback of music from a USB stick. - tinted rear window keeps glare down - range display seems accurate so can trust that you can get somewhere without worrying about finding a petrol station. Averaging 380 miles from a tank (40 quid). As a car for welsh b-road blasts... Not found out yet. In fact, haven't attacked a single roundabout in anger. Mainly as it's been freezing cold or snowy for most of the time since the car arrived. Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
