no its terrible. Its inefficient. My average commute MPG of a mix of stop start, motorway and A roads is 25 to 26mpg. If I cruise at 70 I get 35mpg and thats with 7.0ltrs

I can managed 25mpg on mixed motorway/A roads also however, in town high teens at best. As for 35mpg, I've never sat at cruise for that long to find out.

As for not manual...this is a very hateful drawback and I still find myself reaching for the stick, much like I do the GTR but, you get used to it and I find happy middle ground in using the manual paddles.

am sure on track the box works, but I do find I am old fashioned so on long drives I like to feel I am more than just steering input
