Back to Finland and the trip went fine. First 800 km driven with the car:
Test of fuel consumption:
@ 100 km/h for 100 km was 2.8 l/100km cars fuel consumtion meter
@ 120 km/h for 100 km was 3.5-3.6 l/100 km
rest of the trip on motorways at speeds of 120-155 for most of the time. That car is amazingly quiet at those speeds!.
Tested also the top speed and it was about 170 km/h and the car went like a train at those speeds also.
Total drived distance was 800 km and the calculated fuel consumption was same 4.0 liter/100km as what the computer had calculated. Howeever the speedometer is about 6% off so the true fuel consumtion was about 4.3 l/100km.

My plates are valid also on tomorrow so I will do some trip to get more data on lower speeds.

At least power steering is not working and also the start and stop system is also broken or I dont know how to use it properly. Anyway so Far I have spend about 3100€ for the car and it is truly amazing piece of machine!. It has lots on room inside and it`s very nice car to drive in city and also in motorways. Its not good at high speed cornering but its not designed to be a race car. More story will follow soon...
