Hi Guys,

Yes it is a 2.0l Diesel 2008 Warrior. The trip was 4 people and loads of baby stuff. It was approx 100 miles of motorway the rest mostly `A' Roads.

Was about 5hrs. driving is all, and was very relaxed when I had finished. I did at one point ignor `Tomtom' and had to take a `VERY SMALL' lane to get back on track and with all the water in the lane glad I had the Outlander.

Hi Tinker,

Yes I'm on the beds/herts border.

I usualy have autos but this is manual, I traveled from home to Bognoe Reigs
and back.

I have had the Outlander for 18 months now, very pleased with it, when it
snowed it was very good, and when it's a little slippery just pop it in `auto'
and no drama around the country lanes.

Got a set of reversing sensors to fit sometime and may put DRL's on the front.

God I wish they had just tossed a small turbo diesel into the outlander sport like they do with the ASX in the UK. Lots of guys on the ASX forums claim 40+ mixed driving regularly with the diesel.

Non motorway (think its Highway to you) about town driving i get high 30's not great for a modern diesel but when you consider its weight, not too bad, mainly stop start driving

What tyres are you using?

Got myself some flexible side emiting leds to fit from e-bay, just waiting for a dry weekend to fit them, blooming rain.
