With the greatest of respect; no way, easylife. It's one of the most verstile and surprisingly economical cars I've owned/driven. An easy 50mpg without trying on the Edinburgh/Leeds run. Car loaded and not hanging about either, I may add. Much more if trying. Great mid-range...

Only complaints are the bondesque smoke-screen when 'giving it the berries' and body control seemingly developed by P&O...
