i am on wpms so the ap’s are abot 1100 less than pip and i ordered 28 feb. i test drove the mini countryman monochrome,nissan quasqai and juke, ev3 and 4,mg hs hybrid+trophy,citroen c3 and c3 aircross, cupra formentor. the formentor was very nice but the ride was too rough for my spine. the rest the ride was ok and it mainly came down to bang for buck and the ap as i imposed a 0ap target and the hybrids all came with an ap. i narrowed it down to the mini countryman monochrome and the kia’s.the ev3 at the time had an ap and then i discovered the mini couldnt play music from a usb which i do all the time so the ev 4 won out and at 0ap i think a good deal. a bolter really was the c3 and c3 aircross the interior and the driver screens were excellant the only drawback was the ap for the hybrid and the range for the electric compared to the kia’s. ap wise the ev3 is now a better price but i preferred the ev4 version of the air trim in the ev3 the air trim was a lot of grey. the ev4 cabin feels that bit higher quality and easier on the eye.
I had not considered the mini countryman, I’ll have a look at it, thanks.
The reason for looking at the ev3 was the price. I just want the best SUV I can get for my needs under £2k.
i honestly can’t see how the future looks for motability, I’m just glad I can order from now. If I could extend the Tiguan I would
