Default D2 2litre -V- 1.6 litre

Any reviews of the new 2L to compare with the previous 1.6L?

Great! lots of low rpm torque , power drops off around 3500 rpm as you would expect , but you dont need to rev that high , drive on the torque , plenty of gears available .

Default Mpg

First full day in the car 110 mile
Round trip into south London 61 average on the
Way in four stops an heavy traffic on the way
Home overall average 50 mpg not too bad
as it only has 150 miles on the clock and the
Air con was on full blast

Northampton tomorrow so I will let you know
how that goes
