@mitch Totally agree mpg is not the be all and end all, but it certainly helps! My XC60 190 TDI has returned 43.8mpg over 73k miles and 5 years on a mixture of 70% short runs and 30% motorways . On motorways I can get up to 45mpg if I keep my right foot light. Admittedly it is so much fun to use sport mode and kick down which definitely doesn’t help and I don’t use it a lot due to my other half’s medical issues. I am about to move to 190bhp TSi AWD and am not looking forward to the increased running costs.
The problem for me is finding a car that works, there are so few of them. I need to carry a 95kg power chair and there are precious few cars/SUV’s that have that capability. The XC40 is too small and incapable of anchoring the hoist. The XC60 on the other hand takes the power chair with exactly 4mm to spare. As a car I love it, comfortable, lovely driving position, excellent all round visibility, I only wish it was still on the list as I would be having another. A WAV is the only other possibility but neither of us want to go there just yet.
