2000 mile report

Miles: 2185
Age: 4 months
Mph: 31.7
Costs: £0

Ok, a little over 2000 miles actually, but not much.

My average miles per week has reduced significantly as expected, and I'm probably at about the 100 miles mark now. Average fuel consumption has dipped again - now 31.7 mpg. I'm still very pleased with that, but will be less so if it keeps going down - especially if it ends up under 30. I'll be sure to let you know.

I am happy to report that the car is still completely fault free - everything works exactly as it should - and there are no rattles or squeeks that some other owners have reported. The car is noticeably loosening up, feeling much smoother through the whole rev range.

Having cleaned the car thoroughly a couple of times, I can see its picked up a couple of minor blemishes - 2 around the nose, one on an alloy and one on a door mirror. None of them large, but all will need sorting sooner rather than later.

So far i can wholeheartedly recommend the Scirocco, it's much faster than i expected, except perhaps off the line.
