^ Mine's covered a similar number of miles in just 3 months. No real engine issues so far either.
I have now found a dealer that I actually trust and have had the car in a couple of times to get some
JCW bits installed and a few issues rectified under warranty. Each time the car has come back MUCH better than when it went in!
It's a fabulous car and never fails to entertain. Indeed, it's one of the most entertaining cars that i've ever driven. You simply cannot put a value on the smiles-per-mile factor.
