  • New method of MPG calculations WLTP 25 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    Maybe most people know this, but its taken us days to work this out. Since Sept 2018 new cars have to use the new method of calculating MPG called WLTP. Cutting a long story short, the quoted manufacturers MPG on here look like they are using the old NEDC figures. the New ones

    You mentioned WLTP forbids researching previous owners.. Did you mean GDPR?
  • Efficiency of Electric Cars 14 Oct 2020 (Forum)
    I have just read  Andrew English's review of the Volvo XC40 in today's Daily Telegraph. He commented on a measurement I am unused to - Efficiency.   In an electric car measure by Range in miles (WLTP) divided by battery rated capacity in KWH.. For the XC40
  • Pre Reg Cars. Is This Description misleading? 5 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    With so many Pre Reg Cars around at the moment because of the new WLTP does anyone think that the term "Pre Reg" Is a misleading description? The car is actually second hand as it has been owned by someone else (the car dealership) It can't be described as used because it hasn't been driven
  • MG ZS 2017 - Different performance 2 identical cars 13 May 2019 (Forum)
    I met a guy with the identical model to mine, same spec ... pre WLTP.. very unhappy with his, so said try mine, different car he said, so told him about the software update and the crank position fault... Note to add, he uses BP ultimate, mine runs on Asda  and euro E10 when
  • Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 18-01-2020 Part 2 23 Jan 2020 (Forum)
    manufacturers reduce the number of tyre specs in their ranges (to reduce the number of WLTP tests needed) and is a compromise between the 205/55 R16 and 195/55 R15 variants many of them used to use for their lower and mid-spec cars. Barely any difference otherwise.
  • MG3 Re-vamp 20 Aug 2018 (Forum)
    Impressive facelift and interior over haul 10/10 for effort, a vast improvement From honest john -  In its price range, the MG3 is up against heavily discounted pre-reg, pre-WLTP cars such as the Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 from just £7,495. Buyers might also consider
  • Lotus Eletre - First drive 1 Oct 2023 (Forum)
    Just had an enjoyable week in Essex driving, talking about and demonstrating the new Lotus Eletre. In a huge departure for Lotus - it’s over 5 metres long, an electric SUV with a starting price of £89,500. Dual motors with 450kW (612ps) and a 109 usable kW battery, the WLTP range is 373 miles
  • New car prices - Is it just me? 17 Oct 2020 (Forum)
    In the past couple of years, new car prices seem to be rocketing upwards far higher than any standard measure of inflation. It could be down to dieselgate and all its other variations, it could be down to WLTP, EU regs stipulating this, that and other expensive tech as standard. It could
  • MG sets benchmark on affordable family EV (again) 29 Aug 2022 (Forum)
    for the smaller battery model (around £2k cheaper than the MG5) with a WLTP range of 218 miles. An extra £2.5k gets you the bigger battery with a 281 mile range and still comes out nearly £800 less than the cheapest Corsa-e!.  What Car certainly seem to like it, bar some iffy
  • Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid - Plug in Hybrid - a few real time statistics. 23 Sep 2019 (Forum)
    - fill fuel consumption of 98 mpg.overall. Take out the battery running, the HEV consumption is working out at 64mpg. I don't think that is too bad. Just shows the WLTP figures for plug-in hybrids are, at best fictitious, at worst very misleading. So, perhaps the declaration of mpg both in 'real mpg
  • New Suzuki Swift 27 Jun 2024 (Forum)
    ” touch screen sits high on the dashboard, but there are lots of physical buttons around. 64.2mpg is the combined WLTP figure, this one did 58 from a brand new engine on a 70/73mph cruise home on Thursday. This is a huge car for Suzuki, hoping to capitalise on the disappearance from the market

    (wltp) range. Heated seats and steering wheel, plus the ability to pre-heat (or cool) the car before getting into it. Con's: No off street parking, so have to rely on public charging network (but we do so little miles, I really don't think it would be an issue
