    @AzzaL14 No problem.

    Like I mentioned, motorway mpg was about 42mpg . How does that compare to your A Class?

    My last car was a MK7 Golf GT. Great car. Taking it easy on the motorway would get 60mpg, driving at speed limit was about 53mpg. Obviously a much lighter and more aerodynamic car, added to the fact it produced 150hp and could shut off half it’s cylinders led to a sporty efficient car.

    You might not get the gpf as you do motorway commutes daily.

    I’m sure the QQ is much better mpg than the Sportage. But, as with all manufacturers, don’t compare their “official” mpg with real world mpg. At least you know what issues to expect with the Sportage. The QQ’s engine is new technology. Give it a few months and there may be issues with that.

    I do have some negative feelings towards Motability as I don’t think they can justify the high prices of the cars. Their huge profits show that the customers needs are secondary to profits. But this is one area where Motability excel. It’s less risky to lease a Motability as it’s easier to return an unsuitable car than buying or leasing elsewhere.
