Porsche was specifically not for driving to work. If you want a driving experience, you wouldn't buy a 1.2 C, same as you wouldn't really buy a 1.2 anything.
It is still in no way awful to drive, it's also actually better to drive than that Porsche for most of my driving, even outside of going to work.

Look what I've started! I've recently made my commute 2/3rds shorter and I miss the MX5 for the roof off option but the running costs of that thing were horrendous. Plus taxing and insuring it was a fortune for the lack of miles it did.
I'm past wanting to spend big money on cars now, I'm just concidering one as an short term, cheap to run, bit of fun option. The missus can use the MiTo this year as shes commuting much further.
Will drive a 1.4 and take it from there. If I do for a 1.8 I might as well go back to the running costs of the MX5 and have the superior car.

The mpg will be the same on the 1.4 and 1.8.
I was getting about 35mpg in my 1.4

If you do get one, put the roof up and down at least once a week. Stops the mech sticking.

My Mrs's 1.8 tigra goes surprising well, and its not bad on running costs either so far!
It already has had a wobbly over the roof though but that was soon fixed.
