Author: kerry, Location: SomersetPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 10:19 am ---- Thankyou for all your replies I am so disappointed with the car it looks and drives fine but i really thought i would get more mpg than this from it i really can't drive it any more careful than i'm doing sure i could walk faster at times !!! lol
I'm going to get it into the garage some point this week to see if they can find anything wrong with it but it has already been on snap-on tester and its showing no faults at all
