Yes, I did similar last week. Arrived well into the 40s mpg, now after about 60 miles of holiday motoring the same trip is at just over 30. Motto, as always is they love a run, and hate just about everything else, especially Cornish lanes!

OP, the 4WD versions are a nicer drive IMHO, with the transfer of drive to the rear neutralising a slight feeling of torque steer when pulling away, for instance.
