The Zohan

Got one of these beauties whilst our Honda 1.8VTI is having a new set of locks and imobiliser (been burgled and the ******* stole the car keys, long story....) anyway, it is only getting about 28 MPG which is the same as the Honda FFS!

Yes - it had loads a torque, but a power band of 2-3.5K revs which makes overtaking interesting to say the least.

I am disappointed by its MPG, IMHO i would by a Diesel for the economy ands they are a bit more pokey but 28MPG from a Diesel and i am not exactly thrashing it everywhere, is a bit on the poor side.

A mate had a Golf GT TDI 150 which he reconed averaged 40 MPG which i reconn ids pretty good the Mireva is no where near this. Is it a Vauxhall Diesel thing or is it me?

just got back from south france in our mundano TDCi 130 Estate. Averaged slightly over 40 mpg, although that was 90% motorway cruising at 85 - 90 mph. Still, pretty good considering we had 8 cases of wine, the baby and all the associated paraphernalia on board. I found that the economy went up markedly once the engine had about 10k on it. before that it was it was only returning about 35 mpg. bloody good car, IMO - not that anyone cares.

Got the 2.0 DTi Zafira get 32/35 kicking about, hard driving, motorway 40/43 ranging
from 75/95 mph.

A fair return in my opinion
