My T5 is very quiet and smooth. Too many short journeys around home, so my average is 32mpg. Long trips usually around 40mpg, unless NCP have put parking meters along the central reservation!

Definitely not tappety!

I agree it's supremely quiet and smooth inside the cabin. Stick your head out when the engine is running and give it a little rev it's not silky smooth then. I have a 2016 V40 that's hums contently both inside and outside the cabin different lump though.

Yes but some have not had it setup or the dealer could not get it to work.

Surprised you saying engine tappety, just been out for listen to engine,I know engine noise is subjective, but stood next to car with engine running no tappety noises or excessive noise, will admit would sound a lot better with another cylinder or two though.
Touring Highlands, Inner Hebredes and kintyre next week, low 30s mpg there and I will be pleased. Will report back.

Hi I just picked up my D4 in August, I have done about 1500 miles so far and have filled up twice, the range says about 650 mile at fill up but I think it was about 550 When I did fill up. Still running in so not sure of exact mileage yet. But sounds like I will get at least 45 to the gallon, and on a motorway run it shows 53.

Check around the wheel arches, we had to take our new car back in june to have a new piece of trim fitted on the arch. The dealer didn't handle the repair well at all.
Luckily we spotted a large dirty mark on the interior which they cleaned off there and then, it was from them fitting the dog guard.
Open the cubbyholes between the front seats, there was a strip of glue on the plastic inside one of these spaces they removed at the three month safety checks.

I love the car but I'm hoping these are not indicative of a lack of quality.

Finally picked it up today, loving it already! Got the Vodaphone sim all set up, but going back on Monday for the VOC - not sure what the issue was but they couldn't get it working.

Had a quick play with some of the settings tonight and the red "Dynamic" dials look pretty cool.

Couple of quick questions though...

*One of the menus for interior ambient lighting has a list of different colours, which bulbs is that changing as I couldn't notice any difference anywhere?

*Dipped mirrors when reversing. Is this only an option as part of a pack, doesn't seem to be a menu option for me?

Otherwise, very happy with it right now, Sunday will be sent setting up all my driver preferences!
