Hi Steve, although it’s annoying that the car is not as ordered, I’m not sure that the DAP really adds much to your enjoyment of the car.
As @kezo points out, quite a few people received cars with missing features during the pandemic and chip-shortage situation. I did read of cars being received without heated or electrically operated seats, which I can understand might be a deal breaker for drivers with mobility issues, Raynauds etc.
The manufacturers have a ‘get-out’ clause in their sales contracts which state something along the lines of “specifications subject to change”.
Sounds to me like the dealer has made a reasonable offer to mitigate the loss, but if you can negotiate more, all the better.
I wish you well whatever you decide – my neighbour has a CX-5 (and a MX-5) and it’s a great looking car!
