Pity you said no EV as the Cupra Born would have been a decent bet.
I looked at the 330e but dismissed it for 3 reasons. Firstly, I’m struggling to get in and out of my current 3 series which is also the reason why I haven’t gone for an i4. Secondly, when the electricity runs out I’m left with the same engine as my current 3 series but with more weight so less economy. Finally, to get the spec I want it would cost me over £10k up front which is ridiculous for a car that I have to hand back after 3 years.
Like Glos Guy says, that’s an outlay of around £25k for a car that you’ll never own.
it is only car ive heard to do it. i take it its an extra?
Was standard on my 3 series.
That’s excellent, my partners parents live at the end the most awkward tight road ever! Lol might stop me having to do a twenty point turn haha
It’s a great feature and one I will definitely miss when I change cars.
Reading that, it would definitely be a brand to ignore for me. Too many issues for my liking.
Keeping to the Mini theme This contryman that was sat at Tescos caught my eye Are those wheels standard? as they do look good imo https://drive.google.com/file/d/15wxs0hM2rCAu5f8A4DN6txFsJlJgg3OM/view?usp=sharing
That’s definitely the old model. The new one is very peculiar looking.
Just thought of another question, does the reversing assistant remember after you’ve got out the car or is it just during that driving session? Just thinking it could be handy for getting off a driveway the next time you go out
It remembers it. I’ve used it on my car days later.
I’ve ordered mine in velvet red which as Phaedra says looks good with the black trim
I don’t like the blue trims on it it would be better colour coded to match
The blue trim is optional.
Motability have said time and time again that Tesla will not come on to the scheme. So if anyone wants one, they need to do it privately.
@Elliot when did you order the Enyak and how longs the wait for the Sportline.
Ordered 2 weeks ago yesterday and given a delivery date of 14th June.
Must of missed you’d actually ordered one! I don’t blame you TBH, especially with the way Mb are going.
It’s not the ideal car for me but at the price it’s a no brainer. At least I’m not blowing a high AP just for 3 years. It was a toss between the Enyaq and Kia EV6. I just felt the Kia is starting to look a bit long in the tooth.
I was at Stratstone BMW in Chesterfield yesterday and the General Manager there was doing everything he could to get me to cancel my Skoda order and get a BMW instead even though he knew I was a Motability customer.

I looked at all 3. I immediately ruled out the Q4 as it felt less spacious inside plus with the Coupe only coming in Sport trim it had no facility to change things like the wheels. I then looked at the ID4/5. The ID5 in the showroom looked quite nice until the salesman told me it had around £6k of extras on it. When he took me outside to look at one without the extras I thought straight away no chance. Then onto the Skoda. Ticked all the boxes as far as specification is concerned and like most people have said you get more bang for your buck especially with the rules going back to a 3 year lease. I did have a final visit to BMW yesterday as my car was in for a service, but with my back condition getting worse the cars I would like are too uncomfortable to get in and out of. Plus the AP’s on BMW’s are getting ridiculous for a 3 year lease especially when you add the things you need. I went back to Skoda to check that I’d made the right decision and the Sportline Plus Coupe that was in the showroom confirmed that I had.
I am looking forward to the first 2024 models to start hitting the showroom. I shall revisit both Skoda and VW again when they have a physical model just to be sure Hope you enjoy the Enyaq it is a stunning car. Especially the coupe. We couldn’t go sports back because we need the boot height for the Great Dane
Thank you. I’ll let you know in June when I get it if I made the right decision.
Must be an old review that as it’s not the slowest BMW EV. That honour goes to the iX1 20.
After going around a few dealers yesterday, it’s becoming quite clear that they will need Motability customers more than ever. They were all dead with the only customers being those who had bought their cars in for a service or repair.

That sounds great Elliot. What colour was it in? Got one on order and 2 months later, still no build date!
It was that light silver colour.
Shame the scheme has a fascination with 3 pots. The x2 would have otherwise made an interesting proposition.
I was at Stratstone Chesterfield today having my 3 series serviced and they had the X2 hidden under a cover with strict instructions from BMW not to display it yet. No matter how much I tried they wouldn’t let me have a look. Not that I would have considered a 1.5l 3 pot anyway.
For anyone wanting to see an 85x Sportline Plus Coupe in the flesh, Skoda Chesterfield have one in the showroom.
After seeing it, I’m no longer going to cancel. It looks fantastic.
I wish more dealers would do this.
I wonder if VW are trying to pull a fast one here.
Wasn’t the match the cheap and nasty trim on VW’s other models.
The s line quattro is £2.5k more expensive so the AP will make it too expensive for what I want to pay on a 3 year lease.
Just an update for anyone else with an Enyaq / Enyaq Coupe on order. We ordered 2nd Jan and was told 12/14 weeks for delivery. Just spoke to dealership today and said it was now hopefully 20/24 due to demand. We’ve cancelled our order as we cannot wait that long due to circumstances.
I was told 20 weeks too for the coupe.
