Yes, we have them on our Namsan, superb

[Genesos]

Irrelevant, your missing the point.

It does mean that as I am not receiving the £4000 tax free amount, (it is going to motability) that I would need to earn £5000 to replace the amount not received (20% tax payable).

So it is very relevant to any UK income tax payer, and must not be missed in any calculations.

It has been stated that the PIP payment runs to £4000 a year, but this payment is tax free, so as I am a UK basic rate tax payer the effective payment for me would be £5000 (amount edited for accuracy).

Play on words for the old signed up dealerships methinks :-

“Partners in its franchised network are shifting to agency model contracts which position them as a service provider for Volvo, which will be the retailer.”

[Genesos]

Volvo no longer have “Dealerships”

Volvo now run a direct sale model, so the locations are effectively only Volvo direct showrooms. (and are known to have a high staff turnover)

This is one of them posts I hate doing, but needs to be done to warn others sadly.
I’ve had the all new Peugeot 3008e for a few weeks now and have been doing a review However the car which is the GT model from Day’s Motor Group is full of faults and is on a recall.
Peugeot confirmed the 4g system built in is not working so they can’t update the car, and the app will not connect for charging or anything else (common fault) I’ve been told.
The electric boot is hit and miss as to weather it will fully close and sometimes you need to push it shut. ( loads of other with same fault)
Soundproofing is missing in some models (also a recall for that)
Factory forgot.to add wires for microphones so the systems don’t work ( also a recall for that)
Screens cut out when driving so can’t see the speedo or anything ( Peugeot have no fix yet)
Dealers service team who I have been trying for 2 weeks to contact called me today to say they know about some of the issues and are not allowed to handover 3008e or 5008e until they replace wires and have known about this for nearly 2 months and have run out of replacement parts and don’t know when more will arrive. When I pointed out to them handover was 3 weeks ago and you knew this car had a recall, he went quite.
Car will not charge as system is locked to deferred charging and app won’t work as 4g won’t work in the car,
Car bejng recovered and Peugeot seeking to provide temp car until this can be fixed which could be many months.
Im warning others of this as ive seen so many posts I other groups all having the same issues and Peugeot have confirmed they know but don’t have fixes for all the issues yet.
On a personal note I’m really upset the dealership at Day’s Peugeot lied to me as i asked about the issues before handover and was told they knew nothing about any recalls and yet yesterday and today they confirmed they did but can’t do anything about it and will not book the car in….hense Peugeot are taking over. Dealer said we are not Peugeot we are a dealer and Peugeot don’t tell us all the recalls.
Days have really gone down hill for sure sadly.
Anyways use caution if your looking at the 3008e and 5008e.

Hi, do you mean December 2023 onwards?,   (my Namsan build date February 2024)

[Genesos]

Kezo – The Q4 tested was the older 40 with 201bhp, no one seems to have a 45 demo yet. Plus the AP has gone up £1500 for the 45 this quarter 🙁

Glos Guy –  Agree about the x line wheels, felt the same about the Audi Q4 sport wheels

Not sure how much difference the boost button on the 20e would make, and I had noticed the tech+ addition, (plus £200 reduction to the AP this quarter) but not sure I would add the pro package as cannot see much gain other than uprated braking.

Hi

Very interested in all your thoughts, had a one hour test drive of the IX2 at Cotswold BMW as they did not have any Ix1 demo available, and a IX1 Msport 20e at Bristol BMW but only around their private site as the car had not been PDI and still had the protection stickers on. Primarily interested in the ride as lot’s of reviews state very firm, also the performance as again reviews quite negative with the 20e.

Test drove the Audi Q4 straight after the IX2 and was not impressed

Would go for the 30 xLINE but would need the tech pack as basic spec very poor.

Thanks

Not west mids but close, just completed the paperwork for an in stock Kona Electric Ultimate Meta Blue pearl with black leather today at Marshall Hyundai Hereford, they also had a Kona Ecotronic Grey Pearl Ultimate with light grey leather available from stock and service was excellent

Also Berkleley Vale Hyundai, Thornbury North Bristol have a white Kona Ultimate with lux pack available from stock as of today
