    It’s high up very economical most economical what car ever tested it’s 3 inch higher than my Chr lady parked next to me and she had a tape measure ! It’s got keyless like mine digital dash and looks lovely in metallic silver with the silver alloys

    I’d step up to the design or look at the Juke which will be as economical in the real world and have satnav that you can easily get to grip with, rather than upgrading your o2 data or learning downloading maps at home, which will need updating on the move should there be heavy traffic.

    I know this is drifting slightly off topic (re. EVs), but in relation to the sat-nav, my first car had it as standard. The car also had Android Auto, et al. My husband (who is my driver) started off using the car’s sat-nav. Later on he got a new android phone and never used the car’s sat-nav again; Google maps was always up to date and also had a far superior interface. When I got my new car I saved quite a few hundred off the AP by not opting for the sat-nav; always intending to use Car Play and the maps on my phone. Granted it does not fully integrate with the car and for example change down automatically when approaching a bend, but we are more than happy with Maps and my husband is quite happy to change down manually for corners if needed, or even wait for the car to do it when he slows down. As for data usage; actually using the app does not use any data even when streaming music, although it may be using the car’s wi-fi. We’ve always used our home wi-fi to download the map updates themselves.
