I am aware of one owner. He also bought the REx model for the same reason. After a quite short period of adjustment he became totally adjusted and used it pretty much without worry. His only complaint was that the petrol tank on the REx engine was tiny as well. If you are looking at it as a get out of jail REx capability it is great. If you are looking to use it to get you to Manchester (from the south) then you will be stopping but only for shorter times.
As for the car itself, he loves it. He had an Audi A2 (first gen square aluminium one) as well before so likes the more thoughtful cars. Jokes about old time Saab owners may be inserted here - yes he was.
