Hi Keithhack,
Like you I went for the 1.5 petrol Cooper - not the All4 as when the weather gets bad I don't want all the loonies out there using my new bodywork as a brake so will get the bus to work.

I have only had mine a couple of weeks and it has only been used on short runs to and from work, about 7 miles each way. It's up and down hill all the way so I cannot as yet give an indication of a motorway run. I filled up the tank on day one and it is still showing about half full. I have covered just over three hundred miles and the car is showing an average of 35.5

I also decided against the diesel due to the type of use it will get. Up to now I am very pleased and know I made the right choice, for me at least, by going petrol. Although its a long way from being run in, it is a peppy little motor and a real pleasure to drive.

Faults - none as yet.
