Once rolling I hardly ever use the lower 3 gears. 40 to a speed you realy should not be doing in the length of a Ford fiesta while changing up into 6th from 4th as you pass him, the smile takes miles to fade.


Paul.

I am actually glad I got a deal for it at £675. Not as painful on the bank account, although I did save up for it the last few months putting some money to the side. So at least with the deal, that savings pot had change left over! lol! Will just go back into the car maintenance pot I contribute to every month which covers anything that may pop up.

Fuel consumption, I have noticed has slightly improved.
