great everyday car.
800 miles in a week in my impreza, 30mpg with aircon running and didn't miss a beat, who says they don't make a great everyday car
last sunday 350 mile round trip to the nbo.
this Saturday on the sea front at great Yarmouth on the way to a wedding, even got a hanger in the back to put a suit on.
quick wipe over this morning and its good as new
now off to pick kids up from school in it.

Only if you drive at a constant 70 to 80 for a full tank off boost.

You must be able to read Braille in Doc Martens with your right foot mate, best I ever got out of my UK blob was 25ish on along run.
One of the nicest Blobeyes I've ever seen by the way

traffic was heavy too and from Yarmouth so steady run, I was surprised by the mpg to be honest never got anywhere near that before or hopefully again.

30 mpg is good going mate. Many told the modern hot hatches can't manage that.
Drove over to our lasses in my Ra couldn't find anywhere to hang my suit

I can't get more than 23mog in my jdm even on a run so that's not bad going, but I agree they make superb daily runners
