Post a picture of your vehicle here Part 5 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

That's epic Cian.

Took the R for a run around Connemara yesterday with some friends, a nice variety of metal (including some Boardsies cars)

God be with the days when this would be followed by 5 pages of whinging over whether this was a boards only event or for a certain 'clique' :P:D
You'd have to be round here a long time to remember that....

Nice. What model, 520d? How do you find it compared to the 4?

Yeah just a 520D.
Had a couple of 5s before the 4 so it's good to be back.
Found the 4 quite small inside.
5 is more spacious, nicer interior (I'm into gadgets and electronics), I find it nicer to drive but that's a personal preference.
Back window visibility out of the 4 was brutal!!
All in I find it a nicer drive for day to day.

Is the back window visibility better or the same in the coupe as opposed to the GC?

Non existant more like. Does the 5 have the auto talegate? My favourite feature on our one.

No, it's an option I think, but not on the one I bought, it's a 191 so someone else got to decide on the extras.

Love them in that colour.

Was trying to get either garnet red or misano red. Delighted with the garnet red as its a little big lighter in colour.

I see an avant in that colour around my way regularly, hats off for not going the black, grey or white route.

Another one ticked off my automotive bucket list, a lot of time being spent getting rid of the tired oxidized paintwork, few other small jobs to be done. She’s on LPG too, rocking around @ .69 cent a liter.

@Peasant - how is the Ignis working out for you?????.

Working out really well, still very happy with it.
Recently changed jobs and now get to do 70 km a day over the narrowest and bendiest country roads imaginable...it's perfect for those conditions, especially with the 4WD, you can actually boot it if you want.

Fuel consumption has gone down from 5.8l/100 km on short trips to 5.3 on the longer trips now. Nothing has gone wrong with it yet and the first dealer service cost me a grand total of 172 Euro

Everything is positive about it...too much to list, but I do have a few very minor niggles (nothing is perfect)

Reverse gear isn't synchronised (cost saving I guess) and every now and then reverse will only go in with a nasty scraping sound or on the second try.

Auto lights are very sensitive and come on at the slightest dimming of the surroundings (bridges, some trees, etc) and at this time of year I have to switch full lights on or people think I'm flashing them.
Furthermore, instrument lights are on a different sensor. They darken from full brightness once full lights come on (night setting) but then realise that it isn't completely dark yet and get bright again..bit of disco on the dashboard.

Switching the radio/infotainment to off is a bit of a faff and takes several steps...there is no off button

Other than that...for my purposes...so far one of the best cars I've had (considering price and running costs and all that). I still approach it with a smile and like driving it.
