Interesting figures, Tony, it was one of the cars I considered. There are a lot of unhappy drivers out there with disappointing MPG. The point many make though, is that if you can live with the MPG its a fantastic car. There is always a trade-off with choosing a car, but poor MPG is not always apparent given the difficulty with new models of establishing exactly what it is. A class action is needed somewhere to stop all manufacturers massaging the stats. In any system if rewards are linked to something that can be gamed, it will be gamed. When you seek to establish real MPG only data on older models is available, and when you are committing to 3 years you want the latest. I have ordered a new car but I am expecting the MPG in real life to bear little relationship to that advertised. I did not get a Volvo because I feared the MPG would be much worse than advertised and the seat issues which some have raised. As a percentage the figures are way down. I don’t mind a bit of disappointment but yours seems hugely wrong. Having said all that it still got rave reviews from those for whom MPG is not an important factor. Give us an update later on. During all the masses and masses of reading I do on every possible car I did find people who said it improved after a lot of driving, but not to what it should, but still a definite improvement as the engine loosened up.
