Interesting read. It looks like the S1 is going this summer as the kids are 3 and 1 now and i'm gonna be doing a lot of miles i.e holidays etc and the S1 is'nt a car to take the length of the country and then have it parked outside wherever we stay for days on end wondering if it's still gonna be there when i get up or whether some coont has ran into it I want something that is gonna be more reliable on long journeys. What sort of miles do they return on a long journey and round town ? cheeRS
