lifetime expectancy

[iang74]

hi all... prospective new Puma owner, hoping some of you can help with a few things before I take the plunge...

I'll be a 'new' driver (though 36!) as I took my test at 19, failed it on a pathetic technicality then copped the hump with the whole process. Moved to London shortly afterwards anyway so never had the need/desire to bother again, til now, taking test early next month :/

I'm determined to get a 1.4 to keep in the low tax/lower insurance bracket for my first year at least. I'm finding lots of tech info about the 1.7 on the net, but am wondering if anyone knows the following about the 1.4 that I can't seem to find anywhere...

time 0 to 60?
time 30 to 70?
top attainable speed

and for Pumas in general, assuming an everage annual mileage of 10k with good mix of urban/motorway and generally well cared for, what in your eduacated opinions, would be considered a realistic total life mileage?

Thanks in advance...this drivers forum is by far the most active of all the coupes i was considering before settling on the Puma, went a long way towards me deciding on it, thank you

Basic performance details are in this post:

Total realistic life mileage given proper care should be 150,000+ easily in my opinion.
