Very nice enjoy ! Yeah the lurching takes a bit of getting use too. I’ve learnt to let it go then introduce the accelerato. My 1.5 Petrol Kamiq has been returning 49 mpg which 8 feel is pretty darn good.Collect this Ateca on Monday. Still getting used to the DSG and had a few lurches off the line, but getting there.

TBF it's only got 100 miles on it so I expect as it gets more mileage on it and I get used to it the fuel consumption will improve. the problem is the car has auto hold on it, so you have to touch the throttle to get it to move at all..........all a work in progress.........

Same here, but once you get use to that you’ll love it. Does indeed take some getting use too. Check that oil after a couple of hundred and keep an eye on it, mine used a little at first, quite normal.

The wizard next door
I've had a lot, especially when 60s cars weren't as old, and therefore cheaper and easier to come by, as they are now.
Currently we have a 2014 Town and Country that replaced our old Pontiac Montana that finally gave up the ghost.
In my twenties, when me and my friends used to mod up old cars and race informally on the weekends I had these:
A 67 Plymouth Fury 2-door that I converted from a 318 to a 383 that was this same color, but with regular rims, not the rally style wheels this one has. Pass everything but a gas station....................
:
My daily driver for several years in the 90s a '65 Impala wagon, but with a white top:
I inherited it after the passing of my great-grandfather in '93. He had bought it brand new at the end of 64.
And my backwoods rally racer was one of these, a 4 speed '73 Audi Fox:
Mine was yellow, but acquired a black hood after taking a nose dive off a slippery corner. It had a modified induction system, stone guards on the headlights, and off-road lights on the bumper.
And my grandfather was big car guy and former shop owner, so he always had projects around and I got to drive most of them at least a little.
I know more about the new cars than he ever did, but he taught me everything I know about the old school stuff.
And, just for fun, this is the steering wheel off the one and only car I ever totaled, a 1985 Ford EXP 2 seat 5 speed:
