I've mostly dailyed mine. Had thought of putting it away for winter and using a Swift I have but in reality I used it straight through. Up to 13k now and it's been great. Around town, mpg is 25-28 with a little play. On a run I get 34-35mpg and about 340 mile to the 50l tank. Always run on Super. Is a bit noisier on motorway but is very surface dependent. To me it's been a refreshing car to live with. Analog but has just enough tech. Mods are aplenty as lots transfers from the GT if you don't like something. Speakers and exhaust I upgraded (Focals and Remark axle back) and that's all I've needed to do. I'll do better brake pads and fluid when they need doing.
Few things that are irritating. There's no mute button for the radio on the steering wheel and there's no built in wireless Bluetooth or factory sat-nav (via phone).
Hold the source button on the wheel. I know it pauses tracks. Need to test if it mutes too
That works (for the radio) - cheers.
