Miles to empty.. 329 miles (which i understand is based on the last x miles ) - what is X ? At present - 329 miles for 49 litres of fuel will be 30.5...

Re: Buying Used 1.2 Petrol or 1.6 Diesel Xtronic?

our new 1.2 petrol with now 600 miles on it is failing to get more than 25mpg town driving... overall mpg is 26mpg.

Hoping once the weather warms up and engine runs in the mpg will increase !!

Re: 2018 Model - Are the floor mats same as a non facelift car ? (ie a 2016 model)

i ended up getting some from amazon for £13 for the full set. advertised as a 2016 model mats.

They are of OK quality and the prime next day delivery was the main reason due to the weather !!

No plans to change them until the drivers one wears through

Re: 2018 - QQ - Auto hold not always engaging when stopping.

haha... my problem is the opposite... my car (New Skoda Superb Estate in 2016) also has an auto handbrake... many times i forgot to put the handbrake on after driving the Skoda Rapid Spaceback SE Sport which the Qashqai has replaced !

Re: 2018 - 1.2 petrol - MPG - Brim to Brim Test.

2018 - 1.2 petrol - mpg - does it get better once engine has ran in ? 700 miles on the car now in the last 14 days.. Overall mpg as per the obc is 28.5mpg. (Which was reset at about 200 miles following having engine at idle etc..) Does the mpg get better once more miles are in this engine ? Hope so ...

Re: 2018 - QQ - Auto hold not always engaging when stopping.
