A quarter of a million pounds for a Mini Metro!
I had a Metro in the 90s, it was a fun little car with terrible build quality.

The Metro bits are only a fiver, to be fair!

And you know that the maintenance hasn't been ignored. Oh, and that it has been chauffeur driven for most of its life (look at the driver's seat wear compared to mileage - that's been sat in for hours a day)

Beware the Smart cabrio's semi-auto box, which is supposed to be rather awful.

I have a Smart cabrio!
I can drive mine with undetectable gearchanges, so I'm clearly a better driver than most of the journos.
I fancy a 451 diesel, but I'm torn. 80+ mpg is good at rationing resources, and many careful owners nudge theirs past the 100 mark. Counter to that are the nasty particulates, although in the news today its reckoned more than 50% of particulates come from brake dist and tyre wear.
I'll get mine through its MOT in December, and when the hedgehogs stop hibernating I'll look at moving into a 451. We'll see - it's only a chuffing car, after all. No one else cares what I drive, so I'm not in the business of spending money I haven't got on cars I can't afford to impress people who don't care anyway. If mine walks its MOT again then I may delay the change to 2021.

Would love one of these. Not a fashionable brand so exceptional value, plus its a Lexus so it will go on forever.
