| Hi All,
first of all, thanks to all for helping me spec out the new car. Very happy with it!
Regarding the congestion charge - a bit of a bummer. Would I have chosen the Dooper? Let me answer in two parts!
Part 1: I would have gone for a Cooper S I think, however........
Part 2: having now spent a couple of weeks with a Cooper D, driven around 700 miles and really enjoyed it, I'm glad I went for it instead of an S. Not that it drives any better, but the cost savings I'm making really don't allow me to miss traffic lights go performance! I must be getting old!
Currently getting around 53mpg - but the more I drive, the better its getting. |
