Thanks John, I will have to re introduce myself in the newbie section when I become a proper 300C memeber. I've been looking at the 7er and 300C since Jan and have had both dealers looking for a car for the last month. I have to say I prefer the C on the outside and the 7er on the inside and would have been happy with either.... but.. the 300C does stand out more and 7er's are very common now. I asked the dealer for something 1-2 years old, black, bently grill, etc etc and a price I'd like it at. Ended up paying a few hundred over what I wanted, but they are going to service the CRD foc way before its due so I don't have any worries. Over all I'm happy and now can't wait to get my hands on the car.
It is a pitty I won't have it in time for the meet, but I have my good friends home leg stagger that weekend so wouldn't make the meet anyways. Thats wedding number 5 so far this year, had 10 last year and 2 next year, 1 the year after! Costs a fortune to go to all these weddings!!!!
Anyway, I'm waffling because I'm at work and can't think of anything except getting my car. I also think this thread has gone way off topic, haha.
A bit more on topic- All the MPG readings everyone is getting sound good to me. The demo I had for a 24hour test drive was great and the fuel hardly moved with around 50-70 miles put on it. I didn't have a clue how to play around with the EVIC thingy (or sat nav, air con, radio, etc etc!). I just got in and drove
I worked out the Micra was returning about 40MPG give or take so anything in the 30's with the C is great considering the upgrade in car!!!!!!!!
