Do any of you drive with the eco rating on the dash (smooth acceleration, coasting, economic score percentage)?
I picked my motor up last Friday and have been driving very economically since, running the engine in. I had been hovering around the 50%-60% mark, but this morning, it jumped up to 75% on my way to work. May be the car is settling in a bit
What percentages have you lot been getting?
Also, are there any best practices for the ECO Start/Stop? Is it ok for it to kick in every time you stop at traffic lights - i.e. - regularly? I just question whether restarting the engine every couple of minutes in a heavy traffic light zone does any harm to the motor?
On a side note, I'm so impressed with the quality of the drive, the smoothness of the gears and the lovely whistle of the turbo under acceleration that I think it will turn me in to a more relaxed driver
