I think fergus does make some fair points. Now I am travelling a long distance to work, and do not really mind about performance I would now consider a 1.4. However I can not see what I would gain, sure the tax is £100 cheaper and the insurance maybe a bit cheaper but when fuel cost over the year are a great deal more I would want to see a significant increase in mpg. From what I have heard people do not appear to be getting any better than the diesel. So in sumary it seems I would save a few quid a year but lose alot of power and have a car which I personnally believe is not as nice inside or out. In addition mpg tax etc is meant to be its selling point, rather than economy and performance of the 2.2, but if other manufactures come up with better solutions, VW blue for example, then the resale value may drop significantly which would then erase any savings on tax etc.
