If you are like me I had Sports mode on all the time and I found 28 MPG on V-Power was the best I could get....
As far as I know, doesn't the Sport button just smooth out the power curve up to 3000rpm?....As for 28MPG...You must have really been caning it! ....I'm getting 36MPG when I drive it hard (ie all the time!)
Anyway, sad to hear the Panda wasn't quick enough for you Jaxx...Good luck with the HGT!
