Boring questions but they have to be asked as I am looking to run a 3R as my only car?

If anyone else is running one as an only car how are you getting along with it on a practical basis?

You won't get any info on the 3R because it's not on the road yet. I'm getting about 21 - 22 mpg average from the 2.5 litre (not including effect of trackdays) and I can't think the 3 litre will be much different. The biggest factor of course is how heavy your right foot is.

Haven't had the 6,000 mile service yet so can't help you on that one. Keep looking but there are only a few cars that will be able to give you those service costs.

My profile has a "tank by tank" log of the fuel consumption. No idea about servicing as haven't hit 6k yet....

Nope - it's Indigo Blue - quite a lot darker than Azure.

I'm wavering towards the GTC on order being portifino.
