Good call. Hopefully I can confirm this when I have lived with it for a while (del in December) still a little worried about the small size of the boot and lack of oddment storage space. But hey, it goes bloody quickly and reasonably economical too (if I can desist from caning it)

You mean you didn't get the odd stuff storage cubby holes option?

I'm seriously not joking there is an option for extra cubby holes somewhere

Hello fellow 123d owner to be!!!! Yeah I know what you mean about the white but have you seen one, the thing is.... I love it and to be honest, I am not sure that the resale will be affected I bought a white MINI and worried about the resale and was told by a dealer - sit down for this!!! it was the best colour I could have bought come trade in time!

You have really gone to town with the spec it will be beautiful, one thing to consider if you have done PCP, get them to change it to M Sport and it made about

Enjoy your new car , Amanda! I'm jealous!!

Sounds like a really nice car :cool:

So are you trading in your Octy or are you selling it privately?

I have agreed a trade in but would sell it privately for a little more. It books at

You'll both make Welshy proud :P

Where is he? If the car turns out to be a dud I would like to tell him

:orb_lol:

I think he's been bullied off the site as I've not seen him for awhile.

He did have a pretty effective way of getting on people's nerves.

hhmm... serve it up with a nice side salad?

I can see I'm going to have to wangle myself a test drive in one of these 123abc things as I've yet to see a bad review of one.

I used the Drivethedeal configurator and basically I got that price. If you fancy one you need to move fast, apparently the dealers 14% becomes 10% after Christmas and the

But and it

Shame that even with terrific deals, they aren't affordable I will have to console myself with driving other people's!

Fingers crossed the residuals don’t drop too fast as well……

If the 120d is anything to go by should be at least 54-55% after 3 years

I seem to be doing 20K-30K a year so it might hurt a bit. But I hope people will like it the same way they like the R32.

Well to answer the thread question………………Probably not. But according to Autocar’s cover, it does have the world’s best diesel engine!!! Whoo hoo. The coupe version gets a great review overall and most of what they have said applies to the 3 dr hatch. I couldn’t get on with the M steering wheel either. Interestingly the M spec car they tested has the same size wheels and tyres as I have spec’d, but my suspension should be a little softer. They sort of said it’s a mini GT rather than a Sports Coupe and I think that also applies to the Hatch, at least in how it feels to drive. Can’t wait now.

oh no, I've just realised I'm turning into Welshy!!!
