I am recently the proud new owner of a Soul Samba Diesel, ex demo model with approx 2,000 miles on the clock.
I do understand that its still relatively new and the engine could do with loosening up but any of the diesel owners out there getting close to target mpg..
The quote urban figure i seem to remember are 44 mpg and 54 mpg for the combined cycle...i'll leave off any aspirations of hitting the quoted 61 for the extra urban.
i welcome any comments and tips
Puzzled by the dealershjips ' comment to give it some revs to loosen it up quicker .... aware of all the standard tricks of windows shut and AC /heating off and drive like you've got an egg under the accelerator pedal...
One thing that does strike me as different to a petrol car is that theres a lot of rolling inertia once the car is up to speed and in the stop start traffic conditions of urban driving i seem to be using the brakes more... perhaps more anticipation is required...
good luck to all with their new cars....
PS any news on people fitting central arm rests as well
