thinking of grabbing a new xevo while they are still about
The Xevo is very good on fuel too, but don't get a new one. Get a nearly new 2nd hand one and save some depreciation money 8-)

would you have an interest in the sportcity? if so i would be happy to talk further. just to be clear it has 37500k but engine still sounds perfect with no oil consumption at all.

I swapped my Bandit 600S for a YP250 , went from 45 mpg to around 82 mpg, tax and insurance half the price and tyres about 1/3 of price, gets me there just the same and is easier to manoeuvre around with my old back ;-)

No you don't mate, the lad rang back shortly afterwards to complian that the engine need £400 worth of repairs doing to it and it was a week out of warranty when he bought it.
