That's really impressive and when got my R itch over would not hesitate to select another GTD. If circumstance changed also and had to select own car it would be a bee line to the GTD even used.
Think you have the perfect all round car now with the later model additions and the quicker response/economy.
Wonder if the ECO remap applies to the R as motorway is certainly a place where not looking for performance and be happy to cruise along in ECO.
There is an ECO mode on the R, but it doesn't really do much. The GTD purrs along at 2200rpm at 80mph, the R is doing 3100rpm at the same speed - that is always going to cost you a lot more fuel. The R is not an economical cruiser, but around town it needn't be much more thirsty than the GTD. I was stuck in some bad traffic today and my commute took twice as long as normal, still ended up getting 29mpg as opposed to 32mpg, the GTD would've managed about 36mpg in the same sh!tty traffic.
That's very true and hence why my overall figure just creeps over 40 mpg as it demonstrates my mileage drop off and behaviour where most journeys are between towns or local with the occasional long distance cruise where the GTD really earns its corn as you see the mpg increase by the mile.
My main drives are in the economy region you describe and if R replicates that in some way I will be more than happy.
It was noted elsewhere that the stop/start is a little sharper now, even cutting out the engine literally as the car stops opposed to the slight delay.
Obviously be seeing the range of my economy from the extremes of pushing the R and nursing the R.
Though this is the GTD section will say its with some sadness that seeing the GTD go, if someone said you had to keep it another couple of years would have had no issue keeping it (company lease dictates change and hence given the R a go)
