2 years on the 172 is going strong, currently on 69,977miles, just MOT'd it today, one advisory for osf track rod end.
For anyone considering a 172 as a daily runner here's a run down of what I've done to keep this mechanically tip top:
35mpg on longer runs with a heavy right foot (A road or motorway).
Over the last 3 months while I've been recording all expenditure using a sad android app called aCar I've got the following stats:
£5.65 per day running costs (inc fuel, insurance, mot, tax, rac membership servicing and repairs)
Cheaper than commuting by train or bus, quick enough and chuckable enough to put a massive grin on my face.
I am toying with the idea of changing but TBH nothing comes close, costs me £175.15 a month in total to run and I can get £200 - £400 a month in business mileage - result!
