Hi Wonky, I have the same 184dsg 2.0 diesel Alhambra and get the same shitty 30-32mpg.
I ordered new car on 4th November.
I went for the Peugeot RIFTER GT Line 1.5L BlueHDi 130 S&S EAT8 Long 7 Seat + Visio 1
(the visio 1 pack is £500 extra if ordered after but if ordered on actual model VTN 710488 then it’s only £200 more) this is what it gets you: Visio Park 1: Parking sensors – front and rear, Blind spot monitoring system and 180° Colour Reversing camera
Must be ordered together.
+ I added an extra pack for £200, the ZV80 Drive Assist Pack : Safety Plus Pack which gives the following:
Adaptive cruise control with stop function (brakes until 20mph for manual gearboxes) – Not
available on 1.5L BlueHDi 100 / Traffic sign recognition, Driver attention monitoring system, Low / High beam function.
It’s the long version with 7 seats that actual adults can get into and sit in comfortably and the rear 2 can be fully removed leaving a totally flat floor 140cm long, it has all the toys a guy could want, keyless entry/start, 3D nav etc, 8 speed auto that is superb, very comfortable seats and ride, loads of cabin space and headroom, nippy enough(10 secs to 60) with loads of poke mid range and will return real world 50+mpg easily, 60+ if you hit the motorways often.
I can’t wait to get rid of this bus and start enjoying driving again.
