That's sort of what I meant; It's such good everyday fun, I'm not sure taking it up to the next level (S2000) is a great idea. But then I already have an S2000, and for those that don't...

I guess I need to spend time with Mr Lichfield's demo.

going sideways at slow speeds is a common occurrence for me

So long as the power is progressive the balance of the car isn't gonna change much I would think

I put new boots on the M3 and it's much more reluctant to hang its arse out now... Or maybe that's the bean counter in me that's reluctant

Nick, what kind of real world mpg do you see from it?

What about a Morris Minor?

17

I've seen 25 but it's pointless driving like that, it's reserved for when Dorris and rugrat are in the car and I grit my teeth the entire way

Would you see more than 25 on the motorway? Wondering if this would do the commute sensibly, currently the golf I have manages 30wp at a cruise on the motorway and I wouldn't be keen for less than that. I will keep the Caterham for outright blasting so this would be my everyday driver which includes a 40 mile motorway commute.

Sorry Wingnut, NFI!

IIRC, it was about 32 running it in (just because it was on that setting) so it's probably a bit less.

I know the Leg End does 19 usually and >28 on a long run, if that's any help. Just because I was bored on a long drive...

Modern cars are strangely economical. Compared to the S2000, which isn't bad either.

Is this a question to me? If so I don't think so. Do you have a very patient right foot? My run to the station is rural town/country a/dc and I get 17. It starts in single figures so is woeful (20 miles each way)

I understand you can squeeze much more from a 335i but I do c6-7k a year so wgaf? Well me I suppose but clearly not enough of one

The 335 is nicer than the golf GTD we have in every way though
