Got my Car last night





Picked up our 172 Sport last night, all i can say is WHAT A GREAT CAR. couple of things that i dont like is boy racers always want to race you, and the petrol it using a lot when running in.

Congrats m8, you maybe even able to keep up with me now !!!!

I found I was using less petrol while running in. Then after the breaking period you start to floor it here and there and you notice how much the car really drinks. I have to sell a vital organ a month to pay my petrol habits.
 


we fill it up last night and it did a 1/4 tank of petrol only did 50 miles is that good?.

I still cant believe how fast it is and the way it handles, just a amazing car.

Anyone want to buy a mondeo so i can buy a cup as well?

Wes,

I suppose that isnt bad if you are doing town traffic but you should be getting at least 30mpg..

I found I have to reset the computer evertime I travel to get an accurate reading. I dont know if everyone elses is the same.

BTW the tank is shapped like a bear bottle so the first 1/2 is really quick to go.

Wes24v! The fuel gauge is very inacurate! Mine was useless until I had the whole thing replaced now it works perfectly. The trip computer actually give me an accurate reading now!! on 1/4 tank you should get about 75 miles 300 on a full!

GP,

I can get about 350 - 400 miles out of a tank. This is done by driving up to York and back from Essex only htting 70mph and a light foot

Bloody hard though as you have t***s driving past you in Nova you just want to toast.
 


Does anyones trip computer cut out after it says there is 36 miles of petrol remaining in the tank - its fapping annoying - surely it should count down to zero??

I would have to agree 400 miles is possible I went up to Edinburgh yesterday and got 240 miles on just over 1/2 a tank and I wasnt driving that sensibly either RE: 106 rallye!

But 300 miles would have to be my average! I also find it very difficult to get less than that no matter how hard I thrash it!!!

Glad that you like your car Wes. What do you think of the height of the seats?
 


yeah they are fine, cant complain about anything really.

All i know is that i will have to fit to drive it now as the other half loves it, think another one might be ordered soon.
