It is a worthy stablemate for the Volvos and I am sure you will enjoy yours.
Well, wee mini will.br expected to cover 100k miles minimum over next 5 years if my mileage stays the same. Fingers crossed

Picking car up at 14.30 tomorrow, first trip Aberdeen and back Friday so will have an idea how viable, and frugal, this car will be.

First impressions are good, high quality interior, comfy, planted and, according to computer, insanely frugal compared to what am used to. 60mpg trundling round town and over 80mpg on dual carriageway. If I am, in reality, going to average anywhere near 60mpg over a tank I will be extremely happy.
