Deepest Essex to Great Yarmouth (and back) around 115 miles each way. I get more and more impressed with the car every day, though the kids claim that that the back isn't as comfortable as the last car. Corners beautifully, holds the road fantastically, plenty in reserve for overtaking and comfortable in all gears. The power is a bit slower to kick in than my last cars but once it does the response is more than adequate

Tried out cruise control for the first time on the way back. I'll be honest I don't think that's for me as I like to drive the car but I was impressed at the way it held the speed. The only thing I did notice is that cruise control has a slight impact on fuel consumption but I can't really complain too much; averaging 50.5 mpg on the way up and 48.2 on the way back and I wasn't driving like a pussee (though with 2 kids in the back I wasn't driving like a tiger either

).

Bluddee Hell. Yarmouth hasn't changed much from when I was a kid. The Pleasure Beach is still there with its old wooden (and fantastic rollercoaster) and wristbands at £16 with no queues for any of the rides meant a terrific day out all round.
