I wouldn't add any options to what is offered. It is barely more than £1/mile which I think is very good value indeed, you could easily blow that in a few years running a normal family car.

Been looking at these, there is a 35k 56 plate in black for 20k near me, change in job coming up means fuel is covered so tempted to have something comfy and fast to spend time in, they've got a v8 m3 for not much more also

Is the box still slow when it's in M mode? Even when you turn the box up to best setting ?

It's not really slow when doing full on aggressive up or down changes. It's when you do something like a three point turn is when it can be clunky and slow

Off to see one on Friday 2007 facelift with 45k miles. And when I say "see" I mean "buy" because that is what always happens to me

I can't help thinking she watched Jeremy Clarkson's review on Top Gear before making this video.

Who needs a three point turn when you have a handbrake and rear wheel drive

Going throught the insurance process at the moment
£460 for me and 3 other drivers, pretty good considering I have 2 SP30 and a £42k claim to declare :O

Got to love the quote from Acorn though, a snip at 13k.

Yes, for a a full year, full extended warranty for non-wear Mechanical and Electrical parts and labour etc, breakdown cover included.

Its no-brainer for me, going to see a 57 plate today, warranty until June next year and then I will extend.

Covers everything except:

•All exhaust components (except catalytic converter)
•All service items which will require periodic replacement
•Any item that has worn out rather than suffered from a defect
•Auxiliary drive belts
•Batteries
•Brake and clutch facings
•Bulbs and fuses
•Channels and guides
•Cleaning or adjustment of any component
•Coolant and fuel hoses
•Discs and drums
•Glass
•Handles, hinges and check straps
•Trim, upholstery and cosmetic finishes
•Wheels and tyres
•Wiper blades and arms
•Weather strips and seals
