Here are some pictures of my new 2015 Venga. Remember - I didn't buy the car for its looks - but for its practicality and value for money. It has more cabin and usable luggage space than the i30 or Ceed hatch - is cheaper with as many bells and whistles - all in a shorter/taller body. It is the ideal car for our lifestyle and the 7 year warranty is rather comforting. This is a car we are planning to keep. The warranty runs out when I am 85 - so I hope my warranty doesn't run out before then.Front ViewShows LED DRL’s and new nose profileSide ViewNo obvious difference from previous modelRear ViewNo obvious difference from previous modelNew Alloy Wheel DesignPerhaps better looking than the previous model – but they will not be antwhere near as easy to cleanReversing CameraThe screen is much brighter than the previous modelSatnavThe new satnav is a definite improvement on the previous model. The screen is much clearer and brighter, the satnav volume control is now independent of the radio volume control, the voice is clearer with improved turn-by-turn descriptions and it is now possible to input coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds or in decimal degrees. The map is now stored on a 16Gb SD card which hides behind a cover on the front of the satnav – this should make updating maps much easier in future. With the previous system you had to upload maps from a USB memory stick which took about an hour during which you had to leave the engine running.
I know you would have done it ....... but......did you zero the trip counter when you filled up?
So that's a yes and i was correct. Hehehe

You obviously like hospital food. The A trip economy recorder automatically resets to zero when you put more than 6 litres of fuel in the tank. The B trip recorder is manual reset at any time.
It tells you in your manual how to set the fuel trip recorder to manual or auto.Mine was on page 4-55 for my 2013 car.
With the way you do your testing may be the EU emmissions commission have an opening for you.Keep up the good work Alan
Has the wife had a drive yet, Alan. Auto's are making headway in the economy dept, when the engine loosens up it may still get better yet.
There's no doubt the GD is quieter than the FD, but if I can add something here, my experience has been that there is a much more significant difference in ride quality and road noise between 17" and 16" than between 15" and 16". Once you get onto 45 series tyres their internal construction is slanted towards performance rather than comfort.Whilst it wouldn't explain the full difference, I feel it would be a significant factor.
Over the years I participated in and saw the results of many tests which confirmed that.
Ask Alan!

My dictionary says....Stalking. ...the act of being or desiring to be a Dave.
