As title says, coming up for 70k is anything else I should be looking for apart from just service and day to day TLC?

Everyone one else bigs up there cars on here so i thought I would say, Its amazing, only had 6 months but wow!

Strange MPG tho. frown

Work 120 miles from home, all motorway miles. Well anyone on way to work one monday reset all trip comps and did 70 all the way returned 23.7. On way home on a friday I did the same, reset all comps. Did warp factor 1++ all the way home and returned 24.5. biggrin. My conclusion is faster is better for planet. biggrin and my pocket.

Coming up to 66k miles in mine now. Due an oil service in 600 miles but running fine!

Mpg wise I'll get 31mpg on my 40 mile journey to work in rush hour on the m56. But just had a good goon up to the lakes from the wirral and got 28mpg.

She still puts a big smile on my face after 3 years!

Now coming up on 105k miles (43k when I bought her in April last year)

Just could not have bought a better all rounder, I wanted something that would do my (very long, very boring) commute with ease and comfort with all the toys (added an intravee soon after getting it to boost the toys quota!), whilst also having something that was fun for the weekend

This car just does it all, and I heartily recommend them to anyone that asks

MPG wise with my 90% Motorway travel, I'm seeing around 26MPG (all at 69.9 MPH, of course m'lud)

Anyone reading this and toying with getting one - JUST DO IT!
