My car is now on 61k miles so I am thinking of changing. I drove a 2014 SR with 3000 miles on it on Friday and then got into mine and drove home.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that mine is just as taut handles just as well and if anything was a little quicker than the SR. The interior of mine has worn well too, the seat bolsters are not as bad as I had feared.
If anything the test drive made me question the wisdom of spending an extra £19k for a lower mileage car, I am not convinced that its worth doing, except for the better nav!

The outside of my seats were more worn on my 30k car than the yellow one with 20k more...I think its more likely many short trips in and out of the seat will wear them than longer m'way trips. A leather restoration kit off the net soon had them sorted mind.
I've got the upgraded Pioneer unit in mine and not the original Alpine. It's better but I would still be interested in a further upgrade - what is the current system of choice? Even upgrading the maps on the Pioneer will be a few hundred quid so if a new unit is £500 or so I might be tempted just to swap it for the latest one to offset the cost of updating sat nav.
