DSport+ Hdi 110. 10 months, 9,000 miles later and had enough..

So its going! 27mpg around town, 42 at a steady 70 on the motorway and a uninterested dealership means time to say goodbye.
Been looking for a replacement, looked at all sorts but ended up back at a different Citroen dealer to look at a C4. Did I get one? er....nope. But I do have a Shark Grey/Blue (purple more like) DoggyStyle plus 90 hdi on its way from France. Hope I don't regret it and it's second time lucky.

Dont tell ZACK - he thinks all diesels are wonderful- clearly not

Hi there Buzz,

Good luck with the new one - I hope one way or another Citroen came in to make sure your part-ex was very generously valued. It's not like you're changing the car for the hell of it (which I could be accused of for sure!)....

Let us know how the new one goes!

Regards,
Clive.

I'm getting 28mpg at the moment out of mine down 10mpg due to cold weather lol

[Jagster93]

How are you people driving these things 0.o 27mpg from a diesel! That's unheard of even absolutely thraping mine on the way home just now I was getting over 40+ mpg, I'd suggest taking it to another dealer and having them look at it before you get rid surely?

[Bensds3]

All about the 90 i guess. Drive it hard and you'l average 52mpg on a tank, that aint bad

[Rickzayne]

90HDi is better around town but the 110 is better at 70.

Unless you have deflated tyres then I would suspect something wrong with your driving or the car. As you should average 60+ in sixth gear at 70mph.

I really struggle to get much less than 40 driving it hard round town.....

[Buzz61]

As has been pointed out, even twatish driving should net more than I'm getting. There's always been an issue with it, it's been back 3 times now and still no solution so it's time to move on. I'm getting more MPG on the same journeys out of a 1998 Espace, so kinda rules me out.

[tez]

LOL Nothing wrong with my driving, It's the long hard trip to work that kills my MPG all of 1.5 miles of it :P

[Chris_Blue]

Motoring commentators reckon at least 10,000 miles a year needed to be travelled before a diesel is as economically viable as petrol!!!
