What Goes Down ............

Must come up and in this case its our dog Tasha.  Drove back to my mum & dads today to collect Tasha.  After driving the i800 down the previous week I can say that the Santa Fe seems a lighter drive, not as heavy on the steering.  The fuel mpg was a lot better, I noticed 40.1 mpg at one point.  But ...... I missed the i800 so did Tasha ................

Carrying an extra passenger again, Jessica's friend, making the car carrying 6 people we once again found we were a bit lost for space.  Tasha did have enough room although various bags and a suitcase were round the passengers feet.

This Sante Fe was a 6 speed manual gear box and there was a visual display on the display panel encouraging me to go up to gear 6.  I also found at one point it encouraged me to go up to gear 4, gear 5 then gear 6.  I found this was a great reminder, especially to go into gear 6 and suspect this was a good factor on the fuel usage. 

My dad is very impressed with the Santa Fe and likes the fuel mpg I'm getting, and the way the seats fold down into the floor, with the added bonus of having the seating available for extra passengers (I'm thinking 4 grand children lol) We have both agreed with the colour not being the best as although black looks lovely on both the Santa Fe and the i800 it is showing lots of marks and needs to be polished after each wash to remove water marks and make the cars look there best.
