ParticipantI got the 184 FR ST in April, and am averaging 49.9 over 6000 miles. Much of it’s been short distance stuff round the lanes here, with a lot of 4th and 5th gear, but on longer trips on motorways it averages 60+ at 70-80. I do tend to drive it mildly (especially when my wife’s alongside).
Like you I don’t see a lot of point in throwing money at mods, I just wanted a new car!
But I’m tempted by DTUKs tuning box……quite like the idea of another 50BHP, 60NM torque, and better mpg. might be £400 well-spent?Participantnot sure how to get it past my wife……she can’t understand
a) why I’d want to spend more money on a car that’s new
b) why would I want to make it go faster when she thinks I already drive too fastany help would be appreciated.
sounds like an F1 car:pit conversation
“anybody got any suggestions?” Lewis Hamilton on a bad day
“then give me more power” which I think was Kimi, when told “we need to go a bit faster…”Participantdrive it as it deserves to be driven. works with my Fr184…..
Participantbet it doesn’t stay on 1+1 for long:-)
Participantit’s a small world, Kevin:-)
Participantyes, that seemed to be the consensus amongst the other forumites.
some specs the foglights turn, others don’t. Also people tried using the VCDS codes to re-programme/allow this feature, with varying success.ParticipantDTUK seem to have a really good box available for us….from what I’ve read on other forums their customer service is fantastic too.
Participanthave seen threads relating to front fogs on another owners forum, seatcupra, and it seems that the spec can vary from build week to build week! quite a few people trying to figure out whether the from fogs follow the steering or not, and upgrades to LED from normal….
what colour’s your SC? My ST’s black – and lives in Meppershall:-)ParticipantI’ve got one, and it is a great-driving car, especially the 184 manual. But I haven’t got kids or dogs…
think andrew’s on the button as regards size.
Don’t know if it’s got 3 Isofix fittings across the back for child seats, or just 2. Have to look on mine when I go out next…
I’d far rather drive my 184FR ST than a Touran. Or my old E320estate that we PXd for the Leon. Bet your hubby will too….Participantgot some now:-)
Participantall sorted – got original Dynamics, and added Nokian WR D3 winters…..hope it’s a long time before it’s cold enough to fit them.
ParticipantParticipantI’m amazed at how good the voice-activation is. It’s correctly identified phone contacts, and also which number for people with multiple numbers, and also destinations such as “Portishead”, followed by “Harbour Road”.
On the voice menu you do have to wait for the “speak” chirrup before saying what you want it to look for. It’s slow, but pretty good…ParticipantI have a feeling it will be even better with DTUK’s new box “Trevor” – that’s what Andrew at DTUK was calling it until it’s fully released….I am sorely tempted.
But have just splashed out on a set on wheels for winter tyres. Better half not particularly understanding about spending on cars…”you just bought a new one. Why do you need to spend money on it?”Participantgood-looking car for an 02 plate and 87k.
enjoy it:-) -
