Hey

Posted a few times but now looking to order a car.

I have a budget. Now do I have premium paint and lose either the pan roof or DCC or have vapour grey and keep the other two. I’m looking at the vapour grey as a choice

If I were in your shoes Dermottdog I would definitely go the Vapur Grey route and keep the DCC and pano roof. I am not a huge fan of pano roofs but it looks the ticket and will make the car airier while DCC will be a very useful option. Vapour grey is a nice colour and in no way a cheaper looking option IMHO.

Can't help you with the DCC as I don't have it on my car.
I would not go for the pano roof although I have it on mine. It starts too far back to be worth while for front seat occupants and it's pretty expensive.
And sorry, but I really don't like the Vapour (aka old tarmac invisibility cloak) Grey, but if you like it, go for it. ETTO. :D
If you want keyless entry you'll need to spec one of the Tech packs.
Oh, and don't expect the electric seats to have a memory function. They don't.
I agree about getting a home charger if you can. They're expensive but they pay for themselves in reduced cost and much reduced stress about finding somewhere to charge.
Overall, though, it's a great car with many things to like.

Thanks.

The full spec would be V3 with boost, Vapour Grey, Pano Roof, DCC, Pilot L, Tech M, Beats and last but not least, Blizzard Wheels. About £44700!!

Got a test drive a week on Wednesday.
