150 miles isnt big mileage - 20odd miles a day, a 1.6 is hardly going to kill you in petrol.

You'll need a diesel then Rich, or something tiny and very light with a tiny fuel injected petrol engine.

150 miles a week isnt even 8k a year. I think you will regret fetting a car with a hairdrier motor for an engine, especially coming from a straight6 BMW!! Hothatch with enough poke to keep you amused is what id be getting if in your shoes
