Picked up my 6 month old car yesterday and had a nice 3 hour drive back home from the dealer. I had a cooper back in 2005 on 17s and it was very uncomfortable but this is a lot better even with 17s and sports suspension. Was amazed that the mpg showed 48 along the fixed 50 limit of the m1. After that i stuck it at 88 and when I got home it was showing 43mpg which is great.
Only things I dont really like is the armrest which creaks when you lean on it and I cant get the dab to work as it just comes up with no signal. Cant wait for weekend to give it a good clean.
