I have about 2300 km on it now, but the gas mileage does not seem to change. It has been stuck on 13.2L/100km - this seems unusually high to me.

Anyone else getting high averages?

I get around 11L to 12L / 100km in 100% city driving with a 2.3L auto tran.  The mileage is better in the summer than the winter...

Excellent buy. I got the same but in White.

Excellent car and I love the current new smell Smiley I must be sick Smiley

Anyone use the tiptronic transmission on their cars? I played with it a bit when I have a loaner... seems to be fairly responsive... but not sure if I am willing to use it on my own baby Smiley

What do you guy/girls think?

I use the tiptronic every now and then.  But for day-to-day travelling to work in rush hour, i just leave it on auto...

I think I have caught a nasty case of zoomzoomitis. My symptoms are chronic smiling, mind wandering, mouse hand repeatedly opening folder with pictures of new vehicle, and my right foot feels kind of heavy. I catch myself making up reasons to go anywhere, the further the better, and I'll usually take the long route there and double it back. Should I be worried?
