  1. Can't believe you have only done 6k in nearly 12 months. I picked my 370 up on New Years eve, it then didn't move until the 23rd Jan due to the snow and now stands at 21,500.

     

    The second service is overdue, :scare: but due to the white stuff I am using my 4x4 at the minute. Probably won't get it in until mid/end of Jan now.

     

    Not had any issue with the brakes, but going through tyres pretty quickly B)

  2. Anyone had a problem with the cd changer?

     

    disc 2 wouldn't play or eject on mine so I skipped to the next CD, played through 3,4,5 & 6 then when it went round to 1 that wouldn't play or eject and none of them will now :bang:

     

    Its like they have come out of the holder or something within the unit.

     

    Apart from taking back to the stealers any ideas?

  3. I have not reset the av speed/av mpg on my 370 since I bought it. Over the 4500 miles I have done it has averaged 23.7 mpg at an average speed of 34.7mph.

     

    The first couple of thousand miles were sub 20 as they were around town.

     

    In my previous 350 i did the same thing and over 20,000 miles it was doing just over 27mpg at 44mph (i Think).

     

    Although if I had wanted great fuel consumption I would have bought a Prius :lol:

  4. I picked up my 370 on New Years Eve having had a 350 for about 14 months prior. I've done about 4,000 miles in it since then and in a nutshell:

     

    For;

    Performance (straight line) - definitely an improvement over the 350 although the back becomes very light at high speeds!

    Interior - far better than before although you can't see the speedo with your hand on the wheel (similar to the 350 but there is no digital speedo on the computer) really like the seats and the trip etc

    AUX point on stereo, my old 350 didn't have one.

     

     

    Against

    Handling - seems to wallow a bit if you push it in the corners too much and almost feels as if it is going to topple over. 350 much better in that resspect.

    Visibility - the low position and the side visibility definitely could be better.

    Even worse in the snow than the 350 if that's possible!

    Road noise - could be tyres, we will see when they are due for a change

    Brakes - these are not as good as on the 350

    Boot/storage space - I haven't had the tape measure out but I am sure the boot is not as deep. the glove box is useless and the cubby befhind the driver only just get the handbook in.

     

    Looks I am still undesided on. I was a real fan of the 350 and think it looked better from the rear than the 370.

     

    As for the stealers agreed that they are all useless!
