    Hi Ian – good to hear your car is all you hoped and more – yes I am very pleased with the colour – it is a colour that is hard to describe  – is it grey – yes  – but with a hint of green – it sounds sludgy but it works well with the light grey seats and yes as people have said about many colours it does seem to change in different lights – almost like a 3d effect within the layers of candescent paint.

    I haven’t been on a really long journey yet where I exhaust the battery and have to recharge away from home – that will be the time I hope to get a more accurate understanding of true range – ie mostly motorway or A roads – eco mode with either heated or ventilated seats depending on temperature, wind and rain.
    Range of 250 – 300 seems to be the previously reported norm.

    Many of you have been reporting estimated mileage in excess of 300 exceeding the reported range from reviews and other forums.

    It will be interesting to know if they have tweaked the range somehow – I will also have smart recuperation on and use the smart cruise control set at 65 as many forums seem to suggest this is the sweet spot.

    Was hoping to go for a ride in excess of 100 miles today – but not one of my better days – so will have to be another day.
    Happy Kona-ing ??
