Happy to post pictures if not to late?

Second post will be contributing to the fuel economy (or lack of).

I, and others, get the around same mileage (33 ish) on d5 AWDs and with the Drive (which is 2 wheel drive) you should be getting a lot better consumption.

@wimorrison - Thanks your correct, but consumption has still dipped with bars fitted. Unfortunatly its too much of a faff as out most w/ends on MTB Trails. Suspect I'll creep back up, if slighlty, if I remove them later in the winter.

Just got my D5 AWD, manual, silver, leather, winterpack, DAB yesterday. Delighted with it so far. Very comfy, and sound system very good. Doing about 34mpg on mixted town / dual carriageway / b-road commute.

No rattles, no wind noise either, but there may be some noise yet to encounter as i have only done a top speed of 90mph (on a long private estate drive = legal).

Very impressed with the torque, and actually like the somewhat gruff sound of the engine.

Presumably yours is a 2011? I wonder if all of the 2010 are now out and on the road.

A Manual eh! will be interesting to see how your MPG compares to the geartronic versions.
