mpg here in winter will suffer due to studded winter tyres and solid ice roads..wife loves it a lot...oil is as clear as water

**Reply #31: December 30, 2014, 13:18:17**

update
have driven 100km s now
getting 49 mpg
that is astonishing with a tight engine winter tyres and icey roads.

our old car did 30 mpg..
no road tax plus 2 years free insurance. the gas saving over 1 year will pay for itself

Get 10 thou on the clock and then she'll be giving you good averages

**Reply #41: December 30, 2014, 15:11:40**

just worked out we are gonna save about 600 quid a year on fuel over our petrol berlingo

CraigB · **Reply #42: December 30, 2014, 15:17:58**

And that 600 quid will go straight down the throat of the Mustang

**Reply #43: December 30, 2014, 15:25:44**

that does 26 mpg so not so juicy lol.
tbh I only drive it when its 20 plus.clear blue skies with zero chance of rain
so I drive it about 3 weeks of the year

CraigB · **Reply #44: December 30, 2014, 15:32:31**

That was about how much use my HSV Clubsport got so I sold it, plus it drank a whisker short 60ltr's per 100km

If it's anything like mine, and you've brimmed it, you'll probably lose your 1st bar around the 140 mile mark

**Reply #46: December 30, 2014, 16:07:12**

just been out again lol

hats to Hyundai for making a car that drives as good as a german car for half the price..
it has every toy you could ever need...ffs it even lights up corners when you turn into them...the headlights aswell are amazing..im a ver fussy person with everything in life and I am blown away how nice this car is...ofc its not a car for badge snobs..but I don't buy into that bull.
we have a long drive to the airport on Thursday / about 300 mile round trip. I will report back true mpg as soon as I can

Better get that checked by the dealer

RE: your earlier post about the colour of the oil.. It will go dark very quickly (as in all diesel motors, but doesn't effect the lubrication qualities.)

Looking forward to a brilliant résumé in our Testimonials section, soon

**Reply #49: December 30, 2014, 18:39:13**

just noticed there isn't a flashing light when locked..nice to have to prevent break ins.
does it have an alarm fitted does anyone know..if so how do I activate it
cheers drew

CraigB · **Reply #50: December 30, 2014, 18:55:15**

Mine has a flashing light, centre dash behind the windscreen.

Alarm and immobiliser are fitted to the models here, you don't have to activate anything.

**Reply #51: December 30, 2014, 19:06:49**

ah ha
just took a look..
wot a muppet i am lol.
cheers mate...simple little thing like that can stop any thief helping himself to something from the car

CraigB · **Reply #52: December 30, 2014, 19:15:15**

Even if you don't lock the car the light will still flash when the vehicle is turned off

You are probably like me Drew, I always rack up the first 10K fairly quickly. Done 9500kms in my new car since mid September. We have a few on here that do 50K plus a year!

**Reply #58: December 31, 2014, 05:47:20**

excitement that I have an everyday car that drives like a merc or bmw..no wonder these i30.s have such a global fan base..told me work mate I bought one and he said it will never go wrong.
his has just gone 300 000 km.s totally trouble free

Dazzler · **Reply #59: December 31, 2014, 06:16:00**
