I wonder I think some people are getting 12mpg out of the S5 in town

I love the Deep Sea and will probably go for that with light grey interior.

Is this "worry" about the leather really an issue that people have been biotching about on the forums? I actually really like the alacantara and might just stick with that trim

How much do you think the TTS will be?
I've got a feeling it'll hit the V6 sales. I can't really see what price they can sell it at apart from one similar to the V6.


PCP is a no-no. Good for cheap monthly payments but you lose a lot of capital as you don't get your intially largish downpayment back.
I've always paid cash until the MINI as straight finance was cheaper then interest saving rates.
Not sure how to fund the TTR at the moment. I'll need to see again what finance deals are like at the time.

I'm thinking maybe Deep Sea Blue too, or even Sprint Blue, or is it too gaudy?

Martin, deals I'm looking at are same cost of ownership over 3 years - so either clear the remaining balance by higher monthlies, or lower monthlies with same balance - 5.7%, seems sensible to me to keep the monthlies low if the overall cost is the same?

Deal is done, order is confirmed anyway, delivery end April latest
