Hi Greg
Like Belfast4 said I expect the Elegance and R-Line to be back on by the years close, once the new model is in the showrooms.
I took delivery of an R-Line last week but would have preferred the extras you get with the Elegance but that was not available when I ordered 15 months ago. That said the R-Line certainly looks the part and my grandkids keep telling me I look like a drug dealer in the car? . Touch controls I won’t say a lot yet but again prefer things you press but I’m getting on okay with the touchy controls, except the volume control on the steering wheel but AC control and drive modes haven’t been a problem but yes will be good if they do bring back proper buttons in the Mk3.
The Life trim is still on Motability along with the Allspace version however it does lack a lot of the driving modes the other trims have.
Another thing to look out for with the Life trim on Motability is they have two 1.5 TSi’s manual versions that have the same AP price but one is the 130HP engine and the other is the 150HP engine. Worth bearing in mind as mine is the 150 it is capable of keeping up with traffic and over taking, though I add I’ve not tested its full abilities yet because of running in but the 130HB is very under powered so I’ve heard but good on the MPG.
