@Mike 700 no rush but, when you get chance, whats the room like in the rear. Im happy for you to compare with the Tiggy. Overall good first impressions
The difference in the rear seating between the two cars is an optical illusion , in my opinion, in that the Tiguan appears to be higher and wider, airier, and it is , but only by a couple of mm. As mentioned before, the QQ is more like a car rather than an SUV? but one great advantage that it has over the Tiguan is that it has 90* opening rear doors which are excellent for loading disability kit into the back and as witnessed today when i took two overweight elderly friends on a Hospital visit – the massive opening makes for easy entry & exit! The boot is not huge, but with flexibility in built in? Managed to get the mpg up to 53.1 average recorded today for 209 miles total, No Motorways,just town and a roads. This next few days will be the mpg test- dropping the dog off in Andover, then up to NEwbury, and except for the A34 from NEwbury to the M40, it will be almost all motorway to FormbY-3 up luggage and walker Etc- and back of course!
Thank you @ Mike700 for taking the time to get back to me
Good overall economy. Looking forward to your next set of results. Safe journey!
Checked in to Formby Hotel at 1500
Updated fuel consumption is 55.3 mpg on a 220 mile journey!
Driving conditions- weather, quite a lot of rain as we travelled further north, otherwise quite cloudy and cool, kept the a/c off and set the cabin temp to 18*.
The car is not necessarily at its ‘ Economical’ best on the Motorway- as quoted in the 500+ page Driver’s Handbook?
I set it to Eco and kept the speed at 74 , which was quick enough for the weather and very heavy traffic conditions- overtaking freely and frequently, with lots of outside lane stuff!
Acceleration was good – not pushed back in-the seat good, but better than the Tiguan, especially when I changed to Sport – when it really did push me back- fuel consumption is worse however in this mode.
