Weve got 4000+ miles on ours now since end of July!!!! and are really happy with the car. We have both drive diesels for years now and I had expected the car to be less lively than it is. I have been really surprised by the performance on both minor roads and motorway, giving us 50mpg+ and good acceleration. The ride is great giving the "Mini" sensation without the bumps and rattles. I would rather drive it now than my 3 series BMW. It has BMW build quality and comfort. The only downer I can find is that at low rev's lifting off, eg at trafficlights or junctions, the car can be very easy to stall (more like a petrol engine) it needs just that wee bit extra revs.
