Am I missing something here ?

 

Is it a Fabia or an Octavia? 

 

If it's a Fabia vRS then my partner has an all Black version-stealth look model .

 

It looks great!

 

Sorry only just noticed your thread is under the Fabia mk2 Forum.

 

Enjoy, should be much fun when compared to the Monte

Congrats! All black - very aggressive looking combo!  There are a few knocking about, I think a number members have the same and will along shortly to provide nice photos!

 

if its a brand new car, and depending on your idea of "steady" I think you will be looking at an actual MPG of 37-39 mpg!

 

Enjoy!

Would be surprised if he got that from a brand new car! :-p maybe the maxidot telling fibs!

Definitely subject to driving style, my car started out life with me at 30k miles and struggled to hit 40mpg on a run.

Getting to know the car and some choice modifications meant by the end of it's time with me it was reliably giving 48 mpg as a combined A Road or Motorway run and still able to get 40mpg if pootling about town.

A long pull up hill though can fudge all of that.

Give the engine time to run in before you judge it, I think these lumps really loosen and improve.

Black is an excellent choice!
