Nope, I can’t cancel again FFS. So spent a while going over both cars. The e3008 GT which I’ve ordered and this in iconic trim. For £500 more than the GT I would get that cracking big opaque roof, premium audio system, around view 3D camera, electric seats with massage, parking assist, a heat pump, about 40 mile extra range and bigger boot by 25ltr. It is slightly smaller than the e3008 so I presume that slightly bigger boot may eat up some passenger space. If I were to add packs to the e3008 GT it would cost around 3k in packs and you still won’t have parking assist. No V2L is keeping me with the e3008 GT, but for £500 extra I would love all that. And I like the styling and interior.
Along similar lines although different, I currently have a Peugeot 208 GT Premium with all the bells n whistles. I really like the new facelifted version 208 GT hybrid and would have happily ordered one.
However, Peugeot being Peugeot, the new top of the range GT 136 doesn’t come with heated seats, ACC, SatNav, or blind spot monitoring. To add all this (as options) costs £1,500. The new Clio comes with all of this as standard – and even has a heated steering wheel – and all for £595 AP. It’s quicker than the new 208 – and it’ll do 60 mpg, being a proper hybrid, whereas the 208 is a ‘mild’ hybrid.
It was a no-brainer really. After all, I will be handing the car back after 3-years – where someone else will benefit from all those nice options that I had to pay for!
