Thanks for the replies. marcothio: >30k? That will take me 4 years and I generally swap cars after 3. Pease tell me it was a typo and you meant 3k? Does the VDC flash in any of the screen settings? I am looking forward to winter. Swayze88: The tyres are the factory Yokos, may I ask your PSIs front and back? My last 3 cars have been 4WD, just so I can be smug on the 2 days of the year we get snow ;) Seriously, where I live, there are more than a couple of busy T junctions on an incline and not at 90 degrees. As soon as it gets wet, most cars pulling out will spin. I always engaged my 4WD and felt safe. Now I won't even have to engage the 4WD :) Yep that's right, in 1 month of owner ship it's not rained. I haven't given up on the happy place just yet.

Hi All, I've looked at these cars for over 7 months, and although a few other cars matched my criteria (50+mpg, AWD, SUV), this won on looks. My last car was the Mistsubishi Outlander, which I loved, but mpg was 22-25 :( so it had to go. After i month of overship, I have to be honest, I haven't really fallen in love with it like I hoped. Here is my summary; Pros: Looks great, AWD, brilliant MPG Cons: Much smaller than my Mitsubishi, by a long shot. My main gripe is that the back end feels really soft. Driving up the M6 from purchase, I was doing 70 when I went over an uneven patch and the back end felt as if it shifted sideways, like it wasn't gripping. On a day to day basis, it moves far more than I'd like. It sounds crap but imagine if the back tyres were replaced by 2 of those gym/swiss balls things. It feels so soft. On sweeping corners, it feels like it's drifting, but it's not. It's been on a ramp and suspension/bushes are good. Any ideas? I so want to love this car... Thanks
