First Greenline Hatch?

[Sonner]

Just noticed that all five top topics at the moment are about the Greenline model...

Cable to connect iPod arrived. Impressed that the standard radio incorporates this system.

Hi. MPG still sitting around 75.3. Car going to a detailer soon to have some treatment to protect it. This is in lieu of the dealer treatment option which was £335.

Actual from full tank to full tank, or using the display?

My display is optimistic by about 5%.

Hi. Full tank to tank. Couldn't squeeze another drop in. Even computer indicates 700 miles or so range.

[BossFox]

That's good.

Mine is about 74mpg, but that's an estate with a spare wheel.

Must be about 50kg or so heavier but I think with slighty lower drag as the Estate is kind of sausage shaped.

Looking at that big spoiler on the hatch it looks like they have tried to make the hatch top the same as the estate.

Hi. Yet to see another Greenline Hatch. Mine is off to be detailed on Saturday. Photos to follow.

Detailed?

How dirty can you get it in two weeks?

It's a working car, so mine gets the hosepipe occasionally.

Hi. I did not get the dealer to Supaguard it inside or out. So it is getting a professional job done on it to have it properly protected.

Sounds sensible. The superguard is a good money maker for them. The materials cost a fraction of the charge for it.

Hi. Had the car detailed. Fantastic job, dusty already. However, of note Rob said the paintwork was a great job by Skoda. Unusual to see so few, if any faults, on a new car these days. Well done Skoda.

[BossFox]

Rob?

Where did you get it done?

If you don't mind me asking.

[Ad Lav]

CT17 - I can give you the name of the chaps that did my vRS mk1 if you like. Local ish to essex.

Hi. Done by Rob from Prism Detailng. St Ives Canbridgeshire area. Already done our Yeti. Doing our Discovery later this month. He does a great job. Let me know if you need more info.

Good grief, You've got a Fabia Greenline, a Yeti and a Land Rover?

Sounds just like me!

Hi. First1500 miles done. Journey today recorded 80.4 mpg. Mix of town, country and motorway. Quite impressed. Discovery 4 starting to feel neglected.

[Crawfsyeti]

3000 miles. Not one problem. 74.3 mpg overall. Happy? Yes.

It's interesting to read your comments - I'm thinking of buying a Greenline 2. Are you actually averaging 70 - 75 MPG on a combined trip or is that on motorways / dual carrigeways? Any problems with the cars or is it a nice smooth drive?

[Drem]

May I ask roughly how much does cost to get a pro detailor to do the car in leiu of the dealers doing it?

We've a GL2 estate on order, and the dealers were asking for £340 to do it I think

That sounds about right in the London area if you want it done properly. It should take two days.

You can get cheaper, but that could be just because they are putting a bit of wax on. In my opinion.

Hi. My average daily drive is 35 miles each way. It is A roads all the way across country. Therefore, a mix of town and country with about 5 miles dual carriageway. It is a smooth drive once one realises that 1st and 2nd gear are only to get you moving. I get to work in the same time in this car as I do in my Discovery 4 but at about a third the cost; in fuel.

The dealer will take about 15 to 30 mins max. An initial detail should not take 2 days. I have had 3 cars done now and the max time was about 7 hours. Lets just say, at this stage, that I paid much less than £340.

Sorry replied to the answer you got below, but I'm sure you get the message.

Yes sorry, I was thinking of a few years old when it's needs a bit more work if it's never been done before. 2 Days and £300 odd was to polish out scratches etc.. too.

New was about £175/£200 mark.
