JCW or SD

Hi new to the forum so forgive me if this has been asked before.

I am in the Market for a mini hatch and I am sitting on the fence between the SD and JCW 2012

My heart says JCW but my head says SD.

I commute 40 miles per day, 20 motorway and 20 on country roads average speeds of 65/75

I would really like to know if it is possible to achieve 350-400 miles (uk) per tank with this type of commute in the JCW or am I being optimistic.

Any help would be fantastic

Cheers

Afy

I am in the same position.
I have my toy, my Supercharged Lotus for the weekend, but i am gona buy a Mini for myself and the Mrs.
She will drive it midweek, bout 8 miles per day, then when i am in the UK, i will cover around 1000 miles over a month.
I am leaning towards the SD, but being a petrol head, i am being dragged by the thought of a small powerful go kart.lol

Three cheers for those who get 40mpg out of a JCW. I did over 20K in an S Clubman and averaged 34mpg. Once got 44 out of a tank crawling up the inside lane of a motorway but thats no way to drive the car. Now in a Coupe SD. No, its not as much fun but I never get less than 50mpg and over 15k miles even with diesel more expensive this is MUCH cheaper to run. Heart or wallet?
