I hope you posted this at a rest area! :lol:
I haven't taken mine on a long trip yet. Is it comfortable?

We're away in Tenby this week.
Nearly 6 hours without getting out.
Started getting a bit of wrist and knee ache at the end but more than comfy enough.

Car looks great mate.
Yep, everything is pretty far away in Australia so quite a few long trips already. My only comment is the seat base is not quite as soft as pugs of old, other than that no complaints.

One thing I have noticed withe the R, is that the seat is higher than it was in the HDI. Even with it set to its lowest. Its taking a bit of getting used to.

So we have just returned from Cornwall.
We drove from near Chippenham in Wilts.
Took the M4, M5, A30 to Padstow. Whilst in Cornwall we went to St Austell and St Ives.
I saw 2 Peugeot 205 Rallyes a 205 CTi and a 5 door 205 from Holland. I returned back up the motorway system and was hassled to "race" by all types of German PCP leased cars ( challenges all ignored) then dagerously undertook by a Fiat 500 who had to pass.. 90 mph was just not his scene, luckily I clocked him as I was just about to leagaly change lane into his path!
I saw NO RCZs. Not one. It is soo good driving a non standard, exotic ....
Below is my average fuel and speed etc.. I didn't kick the ass out if it, but I did enjoy some of the open roads( not many of those in cornwall in August..)

That's very similar to the places I go when I'm down there. If you ever want to see a few RCZs, just come to Peterborough :lol: There is even a couple of Rs around here, another one being Mercury Grey! (Although I personally havent seen it, but my dad has a few times, thinking it was me.)
MPG doesnt look bad at all. I'm averaging 27, but its purely short trips around town. I've had it for a month and only done 280 miles. 80 of that was driving it home when I bought it.

The R is surprisingly economical. I'm using some hypermiling techniques on it, as I'm used to that with our other car and I average over 41 MPG. Occasionally I floor it but most time I just cruise on the highway with the speed limiter set to 115kph.
