Mine's been my "winter" car for the last 8 1/2 years and my only car for 3 1/2 years before that. It still gets used a lot in the summer too, but less often for longer trips with the family.

I should probably use a Panda or something similar for the work trip, but that would just not be nice.

Mine's my daily runner and only car - has been for the last 8 years!


It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living

Not anymore work 3 days a week and cycle in now, well apart from antartica last week. The Coop along with the VX and MGF are beginning to cost me an arm and a leg for the 8K combined mileage in all three pa!

3 cars? 8k? cool

Mine's daily too - full of child seats, it visits school, office, and warehouse. Today it had 1200 3ft height charts, and 2000 pencils in the boot, 1000 fabric bags on the back seats, and a passenger in the front crazy

Daily. When I bought it I had a 600 Bandit and the idea was to use the bike most of the time but I just couldn't resist the coop. Sold the bike nearly two years after buying the coop as it had only done 650 miles since then

Use it more days than not, 9k in the past year, probably will be more like 12-15k this year.

Just two weeks ago, did a weekend away at the in-laws in Scotland, 800 mile round trip - Coupé was brilliant, 30+mpg and the only downside was that the radio and CD player aren't working still, so we had only tapes to drown out the exhaust.

My Coupe's my daily runner, with between 400 and 600 miles per week, though I do try to use the Spider for at least one week a month to keep the battery charged.

Not the cheapest way to get about, but still less than the depreciation on a newer toy smile

Mines a daily runner too although not that far to travel so mileage not shooting up too quick. No other car for the money sounds the same!! Even in totally standard set up like mine.

Great car!

Daily runner too.

About 12,000miles per year, almost all motorway miles, except for the nice winding country road drives!

Love it to bits. Gave it a nice wash today too.... and painted the tyres. Shiney and ready for my 100 mile round trip to Belfast tomorrow.

Can't cross the border in a dirty Coupe!

I have done 21k in 6 years.

Normally I mix n match an XJ with other cars.

Every time I get the coop out it become the only car until I break it, tax, MOT or insurance runs out. 1,500 mile chunks of LUNACY!!!!

It feels so fast everytime you get back into it!!

20VT the most adictive substance I have come across!

Mine is not the daily runner. Have an economical Fiat Bravo 1.2 for daily usage.

The Coop occasionally comes out to play at the weekend.
