[Tannaton]

I drove it back from Scarborough to Beverley on Wednesday night at a steady 50 mph - the average fuel according to the computer was 62 mpg! I know they are mostly optimistic but that still bodes well.

The car is to replace a 12 year old 180k mile V50 2.0D. Although the V50 is an estate the load area seems very shallow and it's a very low car so I don't think the reduced space will be a problem. And I'll still keep my XC90 if I need to shift anything big....

I've owned 3 T5's and over twice as many D5's so I was very keen to get another five banger and they aren't that easy to find. I know the D2 isn't a bad thing but I do quite a bit of motorway travelling and rely on the ability to pick up quickly. I might even look at a Polestar job if there are offers on again...

Just really happy to have another daily driver with lovely, comfortable, warm seats.
