Hi Guys
I currently have a MA XR5 Turbo and my natural progression seems to be a MD Petrol. Just a few things I want to run past you guys 1) The map on the demo car I drove seemed to be a little off as the new new streets were not there. The car sales man said I go update it for free at home over wifi. Is that true? 2)I always set my headlights to auto in my current car. I have burnt a few globes in the last few years. Phillips expensive 110 artic ones. I believe thats due to driving under a lot of bridges on M1 SE Melbourne. How expensive are LED gloves and more importantly how durable. 3)The car I test drove was 4000km ex ford driven. However the menu options said Oil quality 33%. Is this based on how car is driven or just a % on next car service distance remaining. 4) I was shocked when the salesman said it runs on 91. I was thinking hopefully its been looked after well in the 4000km. Maybe i am wrong but I thought turbos had to run on 95+ I really loved the car. Just need to get used to automatic . Have had manuals for last 18 years. On a side note, it would have been nice for our Aussie models to read road signs like Mazda |

1. No get that updated in the deal, whilst you can when I did it wiped the navigation maps from the system.
2.$$$ but durable set to auto and enjoy. 3. computer calculated (guessed) just keep to time/distance based. 4. Can run on 91, better fuel economy on 95/98
