I love the large, thin, steering wheel. Classic British throw-back.

10.6 MPG average! How much does it weigh?

I'm averaging around 11 MPG in my 4X4 Jeep Grand Cherokee in city driving. I hit 20 MPG once on the highway, but I think I was going with the wind.

What?

No stick?

No clutch?

What's the world coming to?

I can only imagine what driving one of those must be like.

Congratulations to your father.
