Car purchased new Jun 2015.
Carefully run in for first 1000 miles. Driven carefully from cold every time then at speed limit on most roads. Occasional blast where its safe and no cameras about.
3 touring holidays with my wife, dog and luggage rack to the brim.
Hours and hours of fun!
5000 miles covered without any serious issues apart from pinking which is only there if I am driving too hard.
Very pleased.
Go for it Mark!
