Thumbs up Cee'd first impressions

Hi all,

Untill there is a dedicated section for the Cee'd, I hope this area will do.

I have had my 1.6 CRDi LS Cee'd for a week now, only done about 200 miles, (plus been shunted), but I thought that I would post a few comments for those that are interested.

I have found the Cee'd to be very lively, especially for a 1.6 diesel, the steering (EPS) is very precise. It is not a 'hot hatch' but it does hold the road very well.

The road noise is very acceptable, I dont think I have had the audio system on greater than level 6 volume.

Fuel consumption is 'getting there' most of my last weeks driving has been stop/start town driving, with three short stints (about 10 miles each way) on a motorway cruising at 70MPH. My trip computer is now showing 43.4 MPG and is steadily climbing after each outing.

I will be able to give you all the results after about 1000 mile in a couple of weeks.

With the unlimited miles/5 year warranty & 100,000 miles 7 year gear train warranty, I would recommend the car to anyone.

The only little niggle so far is the accelerator pedal is a little high.
