Well its time for a upgrade.... well 16months later and 23,000miles on the monty carlo it was time for a change to something more economical :)

 

so i managed to get me a new rapid on 0% finance and well im in love with how the car is.

 

its a 1.6 tdi SE

 

and the car overall has suprised me.

 

collected the car on friday and annoyingly it was raining. so i couldnt see the little scratch that its got (which is being repaired) :)

 

170miles later and starting to get 70mpg im really happy considering the monty only managed 45mpg on a good day.

Welcome to the Rapid section. The new dash trims and steering wheels do lift the interior ambience a bit, I guess you'd agree the interior is a step up from the Fabia?

yeah its definatly a stepup. I love being in it

The monty was petrol

 

Still quite respectable MPG wise then. It'll be interesting to hear what your brim->brim MPG calculation works out at on the Rapid, I'm not sure there are many Rapid TDI owners on this forum atm.

Well a quick update.... the car went back wednesday night so the "detailer" can get the scratches out that came with the car. They got rid of 2 of the scratches but they missed one and put 10x more on it so i have put a conplaint in. Annoyingly everytime i have collected this car from them it has been raining so couldnt look at it there and then so always a few days after

Nice looking car  :hi:

 

I picked up my 1.6 TDi SE 2 weeks ago and still getting used to it. (in petrol blue)

Had a 56 plate 1.9TDi VW Jetta before so have a good comparison. Loving the mpg...700 miles at an average of 65mpg.

Im getting used to the diesel aswell as the car size itself.

im really liking the amount of fuel i have used so far... on 1030 miles and only filled up twice and only used nearly a 1/4 of a tank onthe 2nd tank :)
