So far so good. Taking it on it's first major trundle tomorrow, down to Pembrokeshire so will see if it can manage more than the 23.7mpg I am currently getting. I will reset the clocks before setting off.

What do I like so far;

1) The looks of the car
2) Comfort and ride - smooth unlike the sports suspension I had before.
3) the Kids love it
4) The stereo
5) The Sat Nav - great for getting round London when I visit.
6) The new car smell
7) Oh alright - everything really except the squeeky windscreen wiper. 06 Bonatti Grey HSE, Ebony Interior with Privacy Glass & Rubbing Strips.

Enjoy Pembrokeshire !

Been down there in mine a couple of times and it looks great against the rolling hills and the sea Wink

There's a LR dealer in Haverfordwest should you need them... but of course you won't. On main road through town.

My Mum bought her Freeloader there. Here's hoping I don't need them. Looking forward to hitting the beach etc etc. I love it down there and it will be even better when the kids get slightly older. 06 Bonatti Grey HSE, Ebony Interior with Privacy Glass & Rubbing Strips.

We generally stay down at Stackpole Quay and the cliff walks are fantastic - especially when the wind and rain are blowing like mad things... kinda refreshing Wink

Have you been to Barafundle Bay ? Fantastic place !

That is our favourite beach. We are always down there when staying with the parentals. I think it won 4th place or so in the Sunday Times Worlds Best Beaches article. Doesn't get busy because it is a hike from a National Trust car park. Will be there this weekend without a doubt. 06 Bonatti Grey HSE, Ebony Interior with Privacy Glass & Rubbing Strips.

Ours too... and its all of 10 mins to walk from the quay, which is far too far for the average holiday maker to walk Wink

Have fun !!

800 miles later

Post weekend analysis after there and back to Pembrokeshire and some trips out and about.

1) Managed to get the fuel consumption numbers up by 2.2 mpg.
2) Pregnant wife with 6.5 weeks to go was happy driving or passengering for 5 hours
3) Kids loved the raised view - kept them amused anyway.
4) The car cruises for Great Britain - never really needed to go above 2,500 revs the whole time.
5) Raised profile of the car is great in country lanes.

All in all, it am ACE. 06 Bonatti Grey HSE, Ebony Interior with Privacy Glass & Rubbing Strips.
