Hi,
Read a thread where people were extolling the economy of their new Capturs with figures in the 50s & 60s mpg. Were these diesels?
My wife has had the TCe90 nearly 3 weeks & so far we are unable to average over 40mpg. That's on a par with her previous car: a Suzuki SX4 1600 with 107bhp which she drove faster that the Captur has been driven to date.
It's now done the 600mls "running in" under 3500rpm but the dealer & handbook say optimum performance only after 1800mls.
OK she has been overriding the stop/start & she drives in normal, rather than ECO, mode but we'd expected better.
Have others experienced this & do things improve after 1800mls?.
