Same here, I saved about £2600 off the retail price, took the train to pick it up and by the time I got it home it had about 200 miles on it :)

6 months later and it has just over 6000 miles, and you can tell how much I enjoy driving it because my daily commutes would have only added up to just under 2000 miles in that time. Any excuse to go for a drive haha.

Lol, I already keep finding excuses to drive it anywhere! Yeah, I should have done about 80 miles this first week commuting, done about 200 instead :D nearly 400 already. Cars are made to be driven though :P

    Exactly, I just have to be careful that I don't go over 12,500 miles in the first year so I won't need an early service. I guess in winter we all do less miles though, no long trips or weekends away etc.
