I have had a lot of beaters over the last few years. They have been getting bigger and bigger as I have found that small economical cars are very much in demand and hold their value well.
Bigger cars (in my opinion) are now fabulous value for money. At the moment I have a C Class Merc 2.4V6. Point and cruise motoring in a lump of granite and reliable as hell. All for

It's what the car is for - Driving.
46k in my first year with the car and 35-40k each year thereafter
My theory, if you're gonna drive, may as well enjoy it
Although I have just got an XJ6 for cheap money to do motorway munching to work each day for myself
100 round trip that is though

Cheap money for the car, but not so cheap for the commute I suspect!

Mid 20s is no different to what you'd get at best in the S, plus I am guessing you find the jag a little bit more "relaxing" for the long journey.
Back in the S when the Sun comes out no doubt though?
