Best car I've owned

Don't buy this car if you care about fuel economy, of course, but I'm still impressed with 22mpg compared to cars I've owned before. I bought this for about 50% of new price as a 1 year old car with 2 year's warranty remaining.
Problems: SAT-NAV is annoying, loses its brains intermittently, is unpleasant to use. But I don't use it very often, I prefer paper maps anyway! Had one experience of battery drain when parked for a weekend, but hasn't recurred, and was promptly looked after.
It's practical for me - compared with smaller cars before I like its size, normally only me in the car. Rear leg room reported to be poor, but I never sit in the back and rarely have passengers there.
Good side: Forget the reviews that say the smaller engines are good enough, they're not. Equally, if you don't know what I mean, then don't buy this car.
Expensive: everything: set of new tyres £1,000, road tax £400+. Except insurance if you're old enough and live where I do (posh-ish suburbs).
It's now 3 years old and I plan on keeping it for a while. I thought about the F-type but that's too small and REALLY impractical!
