Motorways average ~28mpg - amazing close to the Z actually.
Not bad on runs, but a bit bouncy as you might expect. This one has all the toys (leather, sat nav, cruise control, etc) that makes it easier to get on with. Tons of torque (+400Nm) which means it pulls like a train empty.
Not exactly a runabout. I think I'd opt for something smaller/cheaper.
Regarding the Temper Orange I think I've heard just about every story now. Wrong paint, wrong code, wrong thinners, etc, etc. Should get it back next Tuesday all being well.
