eek? I was hoping for 25 when I bought it, Ive also had a V6 4Motion Golf and I used to get about 18mpg in that :dead: bought the Mondeo to start doing Private Hire, hated it so got rid of the job and the car!
I was averaging a measly 28mpg in my Mondeo TDCi 115, very underpowered engine for the size of the car, same with the golf. I love how I can drive the 172 and get better gains from it than my Mondeo, but have the power there when I need it, was shocked when I first got it by how good it is on fuel.
PM'd you Crusty, Im not after £250 for mine like the others in for sale section, but if someone wants to make an offer standard lights plus cash my way then drop me a PM.

P.s. :o my fogs where only on on the motorway because i've got no headlights till tomorrow haha, xenons...
I only fitted them today, took the chance, going to leave them on for now and give it a good wash etc didnt want to make it tacky :nono: I'll see how I feel in a few days, as im still abit iffy on them :quiet:
Looks lovely, could do with getting bits done to mine that youve had done to the steering etc, mine knocks on steering, want it to feel nice and tight, what did them bits set you back?
Passenger side isnt working, swapped it over onto drivers side and the bulb and power pack part (black square box) work fine, but now I cant even get either of them back into the headlight, just cant fit my hand down... help ive got no lights!! :(
