4Th Anniversary

[MNMJ]

Yesterday was our 4th Anniversary; I picked the car up on 20 Nov 2010. Has anyone owned theirs longer?

So far there's been zero faults and its been remarkably cheap to run over 30,600 miles. Average on the clock is 25.1mpg since first registered in Mar 2010. I've changed tyres once, and they current ones will probably last 2 more years. The original brakes and pads are still strong.

A remarkable car.

They are remarkable for the performance they give. The German brigade could only dream of those running costs.

Nice work! How long do you plan on keeping it? With the extended warranty package going up to 10 years now that would be my limit in terms of age of the car.

Good to hear it has been trouble free motoring.

I'll keep it until something better comes along. Even if the RC-F is great, I'll still want to wait a year or so until the ex-demo prices come down. So it wouldn't surprise me if I still had it for a 5th anniversary.

I also really should keep it until it becomes the car I've owned the longest. Currently that honour is held by a 1992 Metro 1.1 at 4 years, 3 months. I'd hate to get to petrolhead heaven and discover they issue you with the car you had for longest while alive and then spend eternity pootling around in a white ex-British School of Motoring snotbox.

I always wish I could keep my cars longer but doing 40k miles a year makes it difficult. 3 years is the most I've managed.
