Unlike you I live in Central London. And know of three. The one I know
well belongs to a work colleague and it is shortly to be replaced by a
diesel. Its open road performance and economy are simply too poor to be
competitive for it to be any use as a main family car.

The only other owner I've talked to is a neighbour who is retired and
never goes any distance. Total milage about 3000 a year mainly in town. He
likes it. But then has never driven a decent car. ;-)
