Power feels good but its not done many miles so I’m still taking it easy. Averaging 36 – 37 mpg. Have seen low 40’s.

The car is an import and is UK spec except for the seats. Cost me 16.5k from bob www.bobgerard.co.uk

They had 8 gtÂ’s in, in a mixture of petrol and diesel from 15k. Went along, had a look, test drove a couple and paid my money.

Happy with the car except there seems to be a lot of road noise compared to my old focus. The car has BridgestoneÂ’s. Will check tyre pressures to see if this helps.

Anyone else had same?

Wheels are the standard gt 17 inchers. I dont think they are run flat but i will check if it gets light.
