This guy in particular seems to have a big bee in his bonnet, but I can say categorically, even though my town running MPG is low, that I done 42mpg on an a road run yesterday, and even that was in some traffic, with slowing down, speeding up, accelerating on overtaking lanes, etc.
Yes, I probably have. Probably with good reason though. When your car decides to go in limp home mode when your wife is driving in the outside lane of a motorway you would probably be as concerned too. And a second time leaving her stranded on the hard shoulder. With that I could never recommend this car. Me I have had limp home twice. Another is probably due...
A person has asked about experiences of the car and I have relayed mine. Just as you have yours. Neither is more valid than the other. In fact I stated that the original poster should do a test drive for themselves, as that would be the only way you can decide.
Here are a load of others too.

A mixed bag of people happy and people unhappy. And it looks like some are still experiencing the 5th injector break down.
It's a good looking car, but reliability counts more than looks. And mine just isn't reliable. Want to swap?
