I have no idea how you achieve those figures?!? Mines normally around the 40mpg mark.

Re: Noise!

I've just put Bridgestone Turanza T001 tyres all round on mine and they are definitely quieter than the OE Toyo's. They even improve the stance of the car as the side walls protrude further out with a decent amount of kerb protection.
So far very impressed.

Re: Cleaning - just a bit of fun.

I manage to wash and dry both my CX-3 and the wifes Qashqai in an hour. That includes all wheels, and washing round the inside of my wheels - Great for removing skin on those pesky disk guards!! All hand washing and certainly no jet washer action. I find a drying towel works really well on all the b...

Re: Armrest Fitted!

the armrest is adjustable so you can have it slanted down towards your knob :lol: (so to speak) Ooer :shock: haha. Hmm, thanks for the info gents. Maybe some careful consideration needed for this then as it's not reversible. Guess I could buy the kit, drop it into place and see what I think before ...

Re: Armrest Fitted!

Seriously considering one of these, but how obvious are the screw caps on the rear of the centre console?

My main fear is the arm rest hindering the use of the command control knob.

Rough idle after motorway driving

A few times I've noticed the idle seems a little rough after driving on the motorway. For instance last night, came off the motorway and waited at a roundabout with the clutch depressed to prevent istop kicking in.
