      <p style=”text-align: right;”>Do you have to extra for metallic paint?</p>

      Metallic no, more expensive fancy ones generally yes (usually the difference in price). For a while you couldn’t get solid colours, it’s a resale value thing. Think that’s changed now though

                <p style=”text-align: left;”>That’s pretty slack behaviour and shows the importance of getting order numbers from them asap.</p>
                Care to name and shame?

                Did they give you an updated delivery date?

                Is the price the same as two quarters ago?

                    Last year I got a bit silly and rented electric cars, the last one I had was a Model 3. I wouldn’t have one for 3 years, the controls are just odd. Obviously this is personal preference (and their infrastructure urinates on anything else electric) but for me, no. Takes all the fun out of driving.

                      If it adds to the conversation I’ve had the same experience with a Toyota dealer (2020) and a Lexus dealer (2022). BMW (2010/2012) were always happy to let me loose with the options list, as were Volkswagen (2015).

                      Most odd if you ask me. Something about vehicle codes or somesuch excuse.

                          Auto widely available here to even Kia will let you order one, if your a retail customer that is!

                          I’m just bitter about the Xceed .. other models may exist ?

                            But where are all the automatics, most if not all are manual. As a organisation set up for the disabled, I would presume that if the driver is disabled they would need/prefer an automatic. Yet the lack of such vehicles is of an organisation that is not doing what it should be.

                            Quite right

                            possibly semiconductor supply issues?

                            This is certainly the reason given in Kia’s case .. automatics widely available overseas though

                              could I take say Wigwam’s car and editing payment if he wanted to leave the scheme early, and my lease was due to end…

                              Hmm, seems sensible; cost saving; good for the environment … ideas like this get you put on the naughty list!!

                                Ironically AP for fancy cars should be as low as for cheaper, but the Faily Mail brigade really don’t like that ?

                                Though yes, plenty more money in retail (which is where BMW went)

                                  you’ll be ordering in January to pick up 18 months later.

                                  Think the electric revolution is rightly delayed, we have another combustion car to go methinks!

                                      Ordered an ID.3 on the 17/09/21 and have just been advised today of a build date of week 46 or week beginning November 14th 2022. So realistically a Jan /Feb 2023 delivery.?

                                      Same day that I ordered mine! But cancelled in October this year, I am not confident that VW have their shit together anymore.

                                        still

                                        That was my concern in the end. Even after the 13 month delay, the infrastructure just isn’t improving. I’m sure it might be, for some, but for me .. sadly not yet.

                                          Interesting feedback! I can’t say that much is making me regret cancelling my EV order.

                                          Presume you’re doing all the recommended actions, preconditioning the car etc?

                                              If  the Tecna had come on the scheme, I would have ordered one.

                                              Snap! There’s little to get excited about on the scheme this quar year but these fancy hybrid engines have me a little interested. But not being able to option Propilot is a shame.

                                              Come on Honda, do the right thing, let me have that Civic 🙂
