Re: Road trip MPG,tank range ? Euro map.

I get from 31 to 33 mpg when driving on highways with speeds from typically 80 - 88 mph. If slower I get even better mpg.

On country roads with a heavy foot, it can be as low as 20 mpg - but a lot more fun 🙂

Re: F-Type on the shopping list

I saw an F-type on the weekend with 90k km on it and notice that there is ALOT of surface rust on the rear cross member. Is this normal or the car has been parked in water. We lived in a fairly dry country and I wasn't expecting rust so early in the life of the car. It is unfortunately rather norma...

Re: Auto selecting too high gear driving me mad

It is the same on my daily - a VW Arteon with a 2.0 tsi 280 bp engine and DSG (dual clutch) gearbox. It is a rather quick car for it's size (0-100 kmh in 5.6 sec), but you need to put it is sportsmode for the gear to stay in the "sweet spot". Otherwise it will to quick shift to a too high ...

Re: What do you dislike most about your F Type.

My F-type has sat in the garage for several weeks now, due to too much else going on. Took it for a spirited drive today, and remembered this thread. Tried to figure out what I did not like, but could not find anything 😄 It's a MY15 made in 2014, and I have had it since early 2015. It still feels th...

Re: Poor Headlights

I have a MY15 with xenon's, and I am very happy with mine. Just as good as other cars I have had with xenon's, and rather close to the LED's I have on my other car (a 2018 VW Arteon).

Re: Wind noise coupe

Wind noise should not be a problem on the F-type. I have driven mine on German autobahn at speeds over 250 km/h for longer distances, and never experienced any wind noise. It is some noise at high speeds, but mostly noise from wheels and engine - and surpricingly little, compared to other cars I hav...

Re: Interesting tyre test result

Strange enough, this recent test from a German car magazine gives a complete other result... The P-Zero's are also in this test, not in the first.. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-Auto-Bild-Sports-Car-Tyre-Test.htm I just realized that the P-Zero in this test is the new PZ4 tyre. I think ...

Re: Interesting tyre test result

the only result you could trust is if it was carried out on an F Type, by an independent. ... I volunteered.. ... send an email to Vredestein with the two contradictionary test results. Told them I'd write a review if they send me a complementary set of tyres.. :mrgreen: :D "thumbs up"
