the trouble with the issues is you only have certain amount of time to discover them,if its using oil at 1/2 a litre per 200 miles how do you prove that on a test drive? I feel you can only cover so much in the time you have ,especially if buying private.

countryman cooper S ,what kind of real world fuel /mpg are people getting?

[peter2704]

got he wife a cooper S countryman ,as she felt the freelander 2 was getting to big for her.
the fuel pump and clutch had been done by the previous owner,the timing chain i got replaced as a precaution (the old one was fine).so i pray for trouble free motoring for a while,ride is harsh on runflats ,my 3 series was the same, so these will be changed in the future.As a family car its great and looks cool,not the most economical but we dont do long journeys,just keep an eye on the oil levels,they are tricky to check correctly,ours was burning oil but oil stems seals replaced under warranty
