Well after the wait I had a call from the dealer late afternoon to say it's finally arrived. Looking at sometime this Friday to collect. They have to order in the Grandland X mudflaps as not in parts.

So I've had the Grandland X Elite nav for 24 hours now. Picked up yesterday afternoon and was able to appreciate the large panoramic roof with the beautiful weather. Only done about 40 miles as getting used to having an automatic for the first time. It's amazing the power from that 1.2T engine and the 8 speed auto seems very smooth. Getting my head around the systems and audio settings which are so different than on the Mokka's. 360 degree camera very useful for parking and reversing and is a great help getting in and out of the garage with the larger car. I've done a fill up to keep and eye on fuel consumption. Power tailgate works well as does the keyless entry. I've got a couple of RFID cases for extra security and they seem to work well. Gave one to the wife to keep spare in her handbag. At least the arm rest is a more sensible position and adjustable, unlike the one in the Mokka which I never used. Next task is on Thursday having a hoist installed for the wife's mobility scooter. I did take a couple of photos at the dealers but not sure how to up load to the forum. Would be grateful for advice.
So that's it for the moment and so far very happy with the car. Time will tell.

Glad to hear that you are very happy with your new car. I've had my Tech Line with same engine & gearbox for 10 days now & loving it. Brim to brim mpg calculation over first 300 miles was 37.8. I expect to use more of the performance once run in, however hoping the engine will loosen up with more miles. Enjoyed getting to know the car better yesterday with it's first hand wash.

Forgot to say, that I'm only just tall enough to reach the whole roof with the wash mitt!!

37.8 is about what I get now on combined driving after 13k (1.2 petrol).

What model version did you choose?

Well she's finally here Gang! Very impressed indeed, have done 400+ miles on three days and have averaged 38.6 mpg.
Received a full tank of fuel, splash guards, and Grandland x carpet mats, for having to wait so long for delivery due to shortage of Auto Boxes, well pleased! :)
