My car has cruise control leather and alcantara auto xenon lights wipers and it does 35mpg round town.

It's also a hoot.

When you've got several cars it is nice to have a daily runner that costs SWEET FA to run though

I would say I hate you, but if I wanted a car that was cheap on tax I'd have got one I love my car and it's worth every penny for the extra tax just to have something a bit different. The thing that annoys me is my Berlingo is still £200 a year to tax

Blocking out one number on the tax thing is a bit silly. You can tell within one minute its 8
