I have done 24,000 miles this year. On a steady run, 50mpg. Thrash it and it still gives 40 - 42.

Driving
Handles very well, if you can stand the body roll it sticks very well.
Performance
Suprisingly quick if you rev it hard. 6th gear is for economy only.

Very good. It slipped three teeth on the timing belt and still drove ok.
