Journey down - 280 miles with cruise set at 65 mph for most of the way - computer showed 58.7 mpg. Car laden with luggage, supplies for a week's stay in a rented cottage, my booze, management's total wardrobe and the proverbial kitchen sink.
The car is only 4 weeks old so I presume everything is "tight" at present. Very pleased with the drive - the car is comfortable, excellent gearbox (except for 1st gear ratio) and has lots of grunt when needed. I hate the 17" Hankook tyres though - they are so noisy on rough tarmac - not too bad on the new low noise motorway tarmac - but still much worse than the Dunlop Sports on my previous Audi. I also feel that their wet grip is below par. I may change them and try and sell the present ones.
