Will post mine a bit later (I have reset it a few times).
Might also be worthwhile putting in your message which model you have.

Doesn't seems to get better with mileage is there a magical figure one has to reach before it considered to be fully runned in!

13179 km
52km/hr
8.8lt/100km on 95RON

Driven mostly M4 & GWH (Sydney to Blue Mountains)

Last weekend drove to Canberra with wife, two kids, and golden retriever in the hatch, plus trailer of furniture, calculated just over 9lt/100k for the journey.
Car pulled like a dream, much better than XR6 with a similar load, changed down from 6th only once or twice for the entire trip.

How does your Goldie go being in the hatch in the back? I have a goldie as well and normally let her be on the back seats but with leather, she is yet to be in the car.

No problems at all. He slept most of the way. Plenty of room.

We also had an overnight bag in with him, the beauty of a big boot/hatch.

He used to travel on the back seat between the kids in the XR6, on the leather, but it was a company car so not the same worry about damage.

What about a blanket! my mate got the best seat regardless who was in the car actually a so called friend who is no longer a friend said "move the dog from the front seat" he was a blind Shitzu and I said "Pi$$ off" he disliked animals and I'm afraid I dislike those that dislike animals or who are cruel to them my mate was part of the family and was treated that way

To clear up any misaprehensions, I did not have the hatch cover on when he was in the boot!

Better off anyway, rather than be between 14yr and 9yr old boys fighting on the back seat for 3 hours.

Haha - I assumed you meant that anyways. I actually have two dogs - my Goldie (only 25kilos) and my fiance's Labradoodle (35kilos). No kids, so we were thinking of putting the seats down and letting them have the run of the back.

Worse part is cleaning the snot painting off the windows!

Sounds a good idea to me.

Maybe you need the wagon when it eventually gets here.

Wash your mouth out Ian! I don't do wagons!

I would probably go the SUV route. Like the Lexus RX400 Hybrid or go an XR5.

Other option is to get the fiance to trade in her MX5 for a first mummie's car (CRX, RAV4, Forrester or the like).
