Ive had a few Minis, and had to take a complete break a year or so ago, and went to a Mk3 TDi Ultra SLine TT.
I've loved the TT with its iconic shape and that addictive rear spoiler.
I tried to jump up to a TTS in August but with the cost of fuel and things I went from 49.3mpg on the way to work to a thirsty 22.1mpg.....it def wasnt sustainable.
I managed to do a deal with Arnold Clark and got another MK3 TDi in exchange but I'm sitting here feeling .......meh....really. Maybe its the cost of diesel which is rocking up ahead of petrol but , I can feel that Mini itch again.
Whether I do something about it just now, or wait until the new year I dont know.
Am I thinking that even a petrol Cooper S will be better than a diesel TT at the pumps?
Is that just psychologically thinking due to petrol being cheaper than diesel?
Am I just feeling the call back to a Mini cos I've been burned by a TTS?
Nice to hear your thoughts.
