That is what I was driving last Boxing Day and gave up at Mansfield due to the beast being absolutely unmanageable in the snow. Cost me a night in a Travelodge instead of being home with the family.
We are currently running two in the works fleet and they are proving quite reliable and they are doing heavy mileage, at least three return runs each to Gatwick from Manchester per week. They also cover Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Luton and Stanstead, plus other more local work. The flight crews like them because we have arranged the seats in a conference layout.
Personally would not consider one for private use. Sorry
