If a reference were needed ...
Saturday and Sunday I did Cambridge to Torquay to Plymouth and back via Milton Keynes, Oxford, Stonehenge, Dartmoor, Chippenham & Bedford. All 650 miles on As & Bs with single/dual-carriageways, single-track lanes, twistys and roundabouts galore.
The car was brilliant and did all it needed to when asked and made the trip very enjoyable. Driving position and seats were very good and got home Sunday night in good shape.
Most impressive was it's ability to deal with traffic on single carriageways safely with no fuss.
I'd buy one tomoorrow if I didn't already have one

didn't keep a very accurate record as i didn't care. But a quick rough calc just popped out 17mpg ... which looks about right seeing as i did very little cruising and use the gears/revs a lot.

Picked mine up today and the first thing that happened was black smoke started billowing out the front. I was very worrked, but apparently they had spilt some oil on some gause and it was that burning off. I was very worried there for a second, but the car is awesome now, and i love the exhaust note, much better han the standard.

Hi Scoobyfella,
I had a weekend in Trefor with my brother in law and family. We went through on Sunday on our way out . I had a long drive home though,....Southampton!
Take it easy!
Saw loads of Impreza on Saturday between stages I think at the rally, upset I missed it!!
