I agree it is a lovely car. Had one as a courtesy vehicle too and was really impressed. If only they put that engine in the Defender.... Boldly going nowhere

Good call Disocuzzy, we went for one instead of a S3/A5, very pleased and lots of room for kids stuff, good luck with that. Great on snow and ice which is nice!

Its a great car - the .e takes a little getting used to.
I would have another one over a disco - glad they didnt put the engine in the defender though! Mike |

.e is abit odd but restarts the car before you even get it in gear very cool!! and saves abit on Tax. I am getting 45 mpg on a run at about 55-65 so well pleased.
We tried D4 and F2 but we decided to go F2 and spend the left over cash on other toys, no regrets so far. |

.e is the new 'stop start' thingy which cuts the engine out when you stop at traffic lights for any period.
I concur that the F2 is a great piece of kit. We just replaced my wife's car with a year old HSE. Although I love my Defender to bits, it's nice to have a little luxury in life occasionally 
The good news is that the 110 is no longer the family car so I get to put more toys on/in it  One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
