alexp999 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Bit of a dark patch in the corner, I'd say it is better the way it was. Could always put something reflective on the inside of the housing to throw some of the light back if you are bothered. I find it provides more usable light than the dim yellow ones though...

Wildy89 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hey Alex, (And anyone else wishing to answer), how many miles have u done so far, how have u been driving the car and what mpg are you pulling? I've done 500miles in first week and stringing at only 24mpg. Mix of motorway, country, town, pretty much every driving style. Not driving it too hard just normal? Really concerned fuel is gonna cost me too much and really considering a change to the diesel already. Car is awesome though, looks great, drives great and the tech is next to none.... :) Hope people can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 500 miles in a week!?! I'd of bought the diesel if I was doing that mileage. I have only done about 650miles in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildy89 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah it wasn't planned. Although looking at the facts n figures I probably am looking at 1000-1200 miles a month.... Hmmm just gotta let the petrol bed in. Need to test drive a diesel and see what the power difference really is and th sound in the cabin :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 My first fill up worked out at 29mpg using vpower from new (asked dealer to use it for delivery fuel too). Due another so will let you know what it works out at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just got the same MPG again on my latest fillup so hopefully that is where it is going to plateau. But then it has been incredibly mild for this time of year so will probably get worse if it gets colder as I do lots of short journeys and cold starts.

mayo10uk Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 My last focus I done 15k in fuel consumption went up to near 45mpg. Just picked up my2016, not much difference. I have noticed that you can now turn off the traction control fully! Hold down the esc switch your get a the yellow info light on! One step on from sport mode. Good added feature.

Wildy89 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Well people I can report 26.5 and climbing. Bit of thrashing here n there. Just as an ST should be treated. Definitely the best car I have ever driven and so much fun to play with :) Happy ST'ing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
