Hi all new to this...
So got my new 5 seat dciv custom after few months wait and must say it’s a very nice machine.
I have a few gripes the main one being is motorway rpm. At 70mph has 2250rpm which seems high to me and will be thirsty.
Mate tells me his manual 130 sits at 1800rpm at 70 and 2000rpm at 80.
I appreciate autos use wee bit more juice but seems like massive difference in gear ratios?
Other main gripe is carpet in the cab, it will get wrecked! Anyone got a good solution for covering the arches and such, recommend good rubber mats?
Apart from that it’s surprised me how good the auto is, not great uphill at motorway speeds using cruise control but very easy to live with and I can’t be arsed changing gear!
Ordering the old fake leather seat covers to protect from mucky plumbers be good to get steer on that too....
