      Read over three quarters before I realised what it actually was. Very funny though.

        Looks amazing. Was looking at a Terraco Excellence myself but yours is on another level. Think it would bother me there’s better looking version out there that I can’t afford.

          Took a leaf from your book Gloss Guy and have today ordered a Peugeot 5008. Also managed to get to go and look at one on Monday and even got a test drive, which was a bit naughty but everything was done outside with lots of distance and masks on. My gut feeling is there will be no reduction in price in Q2 and dealer has stock which means I should be changing on my actual lease end date.

              I didn’t read the full article as not considering an electric vehicle yet. But does the changes in government subsidiary come in to immediate effect? This quarter has only got 12 days left.

                  This is great to see. Not suitable for me currently, but good for progression on the scheme and what the future may bring.

                    I’ve started trying to book test drives in. Conveniently the wife has the the 13th April off work so trying for then. I rang Seat and Peugeot. Seat got back in touch almost immediately all booked in with them good little chat with sales guy. Peugeot still haven’t even returned my call after two days.

                      @kkr glad it all got sorted for you. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the 5008 when you get it. Its on my shortlist to test drive when we can.

                        @ Brydo The Expanse is definitely not a single episode style sci-fi the stories in the seasons span over several episodes at a time. So you do have to invest some time into it.

                        Also watched recently.

                        The Alienist 9/10

                        Mindhunters 9/10

                        Dark (German dubbed over in english). 8/10

                          Just finished watching all 5 seasons of The Expanse. An 8 out of 10, decent enough sci-fi.

                            It only achieved 4 stars in NCap which while not terrible I tend to expect 5 stars from everything in this day and age. The GT model doesn’t come with satnav (£650) or adaptive cruise (£200 driver assist pack). Which is on top of a pretty steep AP. But I will be considering it along side a 5008. On a positive towballs are a very responsible £500 on a lot of Peugeot cars. (1k on an XC40 ouch).

                                I was comparing this and 5008 as need a large 7 seater. The Rifter wins hands down for space obviously but really struggle with equipment especially saftey. Which when you want to fill it with family is my no1 concern.

                                  Great news. They should’ve just offered you that from the start. Unfortunately in this day and age poor customer service is common place, and unless you are willing to call them out for it and challenge them yourself nothing would get done.

                                    Wow indeed who would of thought the most powerful car on the scheme would be a 300hp Peugeot SUV. The specs on the models offered are good as well. With list prices around 40k what other possibilities could the future hold.

                                      @Clipped wings thanks for your opinions on the Allspace. Just playing the waiting game now to see if Q2 brings any wild cards.

                                        I’ve watched the review and it wasn’t as good a review as i was expecting from Matt Watson.

                                          Really nice car. I like the sound of Fords 3 clyinder, lots of character. Like the colour to, really like the greys especially the nardo grey of audi. I was quite surprised when the wife said she likes it and every car I look at she asks if it comes in that style of grey.

                                            @Clipped wings how do you find the 1.5tsi? Have the 1.4tsi and think its great but the Touran is lighter and the 1.4tsi is pre emmision clamp down so is more keen to rev but worse on fuel so I’ve read.

                                              @Clipped wings which engine have you got? I agree lots of goodies and worth the money but just more then I can justify paying right now.

                                              Have seen in a few photos on Autotrader that the newest Terraco’s have the new Tiguan climate controls. Look nice but are said to be horrible to use.

                                                @Clipped wings Allspace SEL is one of the cars on my list. Though the SEL at £2850 is too much for me right now. So looking at Terraco and 5008 around the £2.3k. Maybe the Allspace will get reduced, as it must be due an update soon, to mstch tbe rest of the range. So should the Touran for that matter.

                                                      I don’t know about the Kona as such. But I have had three children in various car seats for the last 10 years. It comes down to the width of the car and the amount of space they can leave between the seat belts. If its a narrow car then the base of the car seat can end up on top of the seat belt retainer. I have had to have mpv cars for the last 10 years in order to fit 3 seats side by side as mpvs are wide bodied and have 3 individual chairs each designed for a child seat.
