      I wonder how many miles you’d need to realistically drive in 3 years to recover the £8k AP.

      I also wonder how much time you’d have to spend plugging and unplugging it over all those miles.

      It doesn’t seem like a very good deal to me

        I nearly had one, quite a few already have!

        However its a big old heavy 2,1 ton car, not a Golf GTI so planting it everyday will see economy free fall below that of a hybrid.

          If you like it, order it!

          I ordered mine yesterday, after waiting and waiting for this final quarter to see if anything else I liked arrived on the scheme and hoping the AP would come down. AP stayed the same and Mazda are cheapskates, they don’t give you floor mats, no boot liner, nothing!

          Humanity is only humanity when all are treated the same regardless of their skin tone, religious beliefs and geography!

            We’ve got one – I’ll report back on economy etc after a few months. I’ll repeat – it was one of very few that would pull our caravan. The AP is a lot I’ll agree but you don’t get anything for nothing and makes it possible to use the caravan.  Without it we can’t – pretty simple life choice. Like the use of a £30,000 caravan or get the only car on the Scheme that makes it’s use possible!

            Every single user has multiple reasons behind their choice – all due to their needs and decisions and they’re all different. Like every single choice in life – the choice is theirs and theirs only.

              That is the the problem – pay over the odds on a vehicle you will never own or loose what simple pleasures you have in life 🙂

              I’d be interested in what mpg towing figures you get, in comparison to what @Oscarmax is getting the Suzuki A Cross (RAV 4 PHEV) even though the cx60 has a higher capacity.
