ANCAP has released the test results from the crash testing on the new 'Freddy' and as expected scored 5 stars :D Now all that's left to do is find an empty dirt track and induce power slide (in a 2000kg SUV with 210mm of groung clerance) and see what happens, hang on, some ****** has already done that. Wonder if a certain car mag will publish ANCAP results.

As a female driver who does most of her driving within 5km radius from home, 16-17 is normal for me If I dont take it easy If I am on my best behaviour that drops to 12-14 and yes, hubby always gets better economy than me even though he seems to drive the car alot harder than I do??? Maybe its because he just has a better understanding of the mechanical side of the car and knows "how" to drive it properly IYKWIM (Advantage of a misspent youth) No need to share all your lady driver jokes guys, I can imagine what you are all going to say in her defence she did come out of a 4 cylinder RAV so she may be enjoying and exploiting the feel of 200 odd Kw's more so that the barely 100 of old (she won't admit as much though) LOL

cheers Taka, should have considered the search option first. BTW are you happy with the upgraded lights?

Quick question (well i suppose with the cost of petrol these days it may turn out to be a long answer) the Boss' (ie wife) Kluger never shows less than 16.5 - 17.0 litres per 100 as consumption. Mostly inner city/suburban driving. having said that, on occassional trips to southern highlands and the like it has shown 10.5 per 100kms car is going in for its 10K services, even though only showing 5,200 on odometer (the usual, time or Km's whichever sooner, in our case its always the time) and thinking of asking the dealer to check whether all is OK with engine mangement etc tec.. happy for you guys to advise on what you think
