How many miles have you clocked up now?

How are you finding the '3'?

Over 500 now, I have to say this trip was the most fun driving I have had in a fair few years, probably since my TF. If you work the gearbox and drive the car its the most fun you can have! In pretty horrible conditions the car was stuck to the road, down narrow country roads, today in the dry was brilliant fun on the way back down. My MPG so far is coming out at 36, that's a 30 mile round commute with 25 of that on Motorway. (that's according to my own calculations but matches up with the trip computers assessment). Its keeping me smiling so far, long may it continue.

Good to read such a positive report . I have been really impressed with the ones I have sat in. The interior quality is miles better than the VW Up's . What is the refinement like? I'm guessing it isn't as civilised as a 75.

I will admit one thing it has taken a while to get used to..... the cubby armrest! The ride is obviously a bit firmer but not uncomfortable by any means. The cabin isn't actually a bad place to be. I miss my walnut dash but I have everything else the 75 had with climate control, fully adjustable seats (although not electric or leather) and my ipod plug in and plenty of drinks holders which are well positioned although if you put a big cup in there it can get knocked by your hand putting it into 1st or 3rd depending which holder its in

Yes , it'sba shame a centre armrest is not fitted. Other than that , it does feel like a nice place to be. The radio perimeter illumination is impressive.
