Also covering for any Euro 5 contracted services when their allocated vehicle is off-road. I believe they're all out on Sundays, which is unreal.
In my opinion, the "Drifter" batch (with all of its squeaks and other problems) is a lot worse than the "SimpliCity" batch, but the '09 Versas have had two further years on the '11 ones... I've had no real problems with the "SimpliCity" batch when I've used them (not so often in the school holidays because the 42/60/61 are my school services).
Don't forget the N56 too!
The mileage they must have accumulated over the last couple of years, has got to be pushing them close to the Drifter Versa's.
They really are being worked hard, which would lead to assumption the mpg is decent and the reliability issues have been ironed out, compared to previous batches.
The only question I would have though, is how long can they continue, being worked into the ground like they are currently.
