Thanks @kezo The Tucson is the only car still available on the scheme that, on paper, ticks every box for us. I would prefer to keep our 2021 BMW X1, but as my wife now really needs a hoist to get in and out we have no choice but to order a new car, as Motability won’t fit such aids to existing cars.
Tucson prices haven’t gone up at all this quarter (having dropped £800 last quarter) and we wouldn’t need to add any options (not that you can) as it has all of our essential and preferred features as standard (including even 4 wheel drive with the PHEV). I just hope that I like it (I haven’t driven a Tucson or a PHEV before) as there isn’t really an alternative option if not!
The Mazda CX-60 could have been an option if the option packs were still included, but I could not get the spec that I would want now without splashing out over £10k (AP plus options) and as it’s not a car that I would choose as a private customer that doesn’t appeal.
If the Tucson test drive is a success I am thinking of getting the N-Line S (as you have done) but in Shadow Grey. Whilst I’d much prefer leather trim, I don’t like the thick black plastic wheel arches and sills on the Ultimate. Our local dealer is getting a Cypress Green Ultimate with Cypress Green interior in stock next week for a customer, so it will be interesting to see that in the flesh. I also want to see Shadow Grey in the flesh. I’ve seen some on AutoTrader and it seems to suit the N Line S very well. Any tips regarding what I should look out for on the day that I have the Tucson on test would be very much appreciated.
