They had no sprung demonstrators at all !!!

I found the air setup a bit wallowy front to back - prefer a stiffer setup. So went for the R Spec on 19's

It's all about the journeys. A SUV won't be as economical as a saloon / hatch at motorway speeds due to the profile and 4x4 weight / transmission losses. But I would imagine a T5 with match your A45 for economy - they aren't renowned for their economy.

My SQ5 petrol has averaged 28.1mpg per computer (which isn't far out when I have checked) but most of my journeys are longer ones. A 2 mile trip to the shop will record 13mpg. My XC70 diesel (D5 205) geartronic averaged 37 over similar use and was in low 20s or high teens on short journeys...
