Just had mine changed. I had moved them rotated after 7000 miles but then somebody decided to hit in the side of me at a roundabout at about 10700. One tyre was damaged, fortunately the rear which was almost shot so got one under insurance and I've since replaced the other and rotated the new back to the front again. Unfortunately it's the same brand which I was hoping to change. Interestingly, the repair company paid £188+vat, I paid £125+vat from my local dealer :) Will see what this second set run like

Just curious about peoples experience with tyre wear on the 19" wheels on my Black edition. I've done about 4500 miles and seems I don't have many more left on my fronts. They aren't at the indicators yet but not far off. Think I will rotate them to extend and assumed they wouldn't last fantasticly although the salesman told me otherwise but 4500 seems excessive and wondering if anything wrong.

Went to London weekend, 425 miles of 90% of motorway driving at 75, then missus driving back at 65-70 and averaged 45mpg

At the end of that day I love the car, especially the B&O sound system and in the white it attracts the attention of chavs and boy racers which missus loves. Saving of £200 on tax from previous car as well. Hope maybe it gets better

I tried my commute this morning without climate on and I did peak at 35 although it was chilly and the windscreen kept misting up :) Shame there doesn't seem to be much more input

What mileage do you have on the clock now? I'm at about 2800

Spooky, I was just about to post the exact same post. I've got the same model and during my town commute I'm averaging 30mpg. I was reading topics last night about the engine not warming up and possibly even using higher revs to warm it quicker. I know that you don't always get what the figures say, but in my mind 30 is somewhat different from the advertised 52mpg urban. At the moment it's not proving anymore economical than my old 1.6 petrol Leon :(
