2.0 Mini Countryman gone. That was top of my list. In fact no Countryman at all. And no diesel Mini’s at all?!
Noticed this. They have just facelifted the Countryman (love the new sage green paint and blue leather trim), so it may be just a matter of time while they work out the new prices.

Citreon C4 PicassoDidn’t actually watch it myself last night as I noticed it just as I wss going to bed. It’s a nice refresh nothing to major just kept it simple, the VW way.
Kinda hoping for a simillar refresh on the Touran. It’s just enough to make you think another one would be sufficiently different.

Citreon C4 PicassoQ3 pricing for Mercedes makes no sense! How can premium plus shooting brake be cheaper than premium. Was really hoping at least cla 200 premium would be on scheme…
@Muadip the APs factor in depreciation so if the premium plus holds more of its value it can have a lower AP. There are a lot of cars on motability were the higher trims are cheaper, as there more desirable on the used market.

Citreon C4 PicassoWhat about the Nurburgring? I think that’s technically a toll road, on days when open to the public.

Citreon C4 Picasso<p style=”text-align: left;”>@Elliot not sure were the caps at, at the moment. BMW 3 series starts from, just over £31k and is on. Just wishing for GLB, it’d probably carry a high AP but it’d be worth it.</p>

Citreon C4 PicassoTouran SEL seats are super, it’s just a comfy and quiet (petrol model) car overall.
The car I think closest resembles it would be the new Merc GLB. Small foot print 7seater. Currently the car I want most. Fingers crossed motability. I’ve got until next January to wait.

Citreon C4 PicassoHi Clipped Wings. The SE Family has the pan roof as standard. And now features the 1.5tsi 148hp petrol. This would be my model of choice if motability would include it. £899 for SEL is a bit of a bargin. Paid £1199 for ours but got £500 off ftom JCT back in 2018.

Citreon C4 Picasso@Clipped wings couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on the Touran. It’s all the car I need and have considered another one or extension. But also have that itch to try somthing different.

Citreon C4 PicassoAs @File28 lists you are really spoilt for choice with lots of really good family SUVs. There’s a reason they are so popular with familys they just do everything so well. Just personal taste and budget to dictate choice.

Citreon C4 PicassoI really like a two tone interiors. Not partial to any colour in particular just think it breaks it up and makes it more interesting. Also if theres a few combinations it makes your car that bit more individual.

Citreon C4 PicassoI like the Inscription Pro having played with the configurator a lot. The light coloured leather seats look lovely its a very nice interior. I don’t get the idea of a sporty SUVs. There flawed to start with, I’d always take the luxury option.

Citreon C4 PicassoThe VW configurator has lost some cars recently. The Tiguan has lost SEL spec and the Touran has lost SEL and Rline.

Citreon C4 PicassoI like the look of it. The squared off rugged look is so much better I.M.O. I have a soft spot for the original X-Trail my dad had one for 10 years. It was a proper work horse.
I did hear we won’t get this for two years though. USA gets them first as they sell hundreds of thousands same with RAV4 and CRV.

Citreon C4 PicassoThe Tiguan is due a face lift and VW would normally do this over a summer shut down for re-tooling etc.

Citreon C4 PicassoVW Touran SEL 1.4TSI. Three children in different size childseats and a guide dog mean 7 seats and big boot to play around with depending on the situation (town driving vs holidays etc) have been great. Went for the SEL as it was the only one to feature the 150bhp engine as when the cars full it’s really full and need all the power you can get, but didn’t want diesel due to low annual mileage and DPF clogging fears.

Citreon C4 PicassoMy only concern is what is the current 3 series like in winter with it been rear wheel drive. Has modern traction control made them driveable? I know they used to be stuck if there was a bit of ice and snow.

Citreon C4 Picasso@Saintsman yep noticed that one. I was puzzled as well, as I bet that particukar range of cars do really well on motability. Good price, space and a BMW badge. My freind got a Grandtourer last summer and it was that or the Touran for me two and half years ago.

Citreon C4 Picasso@BionicRusty (Wayne) yes I know what you mean with our current motability lottery system. But I find BMW have embraced the scheme more rhen brands like Audi and Merc. I think they realised they do well out of it.

Citreon C4 Picasso@Elliot That’s alot of car for a good price.
@BionicRusty(Wayne) BMW seem to be one of the better brands with regard to what cars that allow on the scheme I.M.O, so wouldn’t have thought it’d disappear next quarter.

Citreon C4 PicassoI think it looks nice. As others have stated a bit dull and inoffensive. The Skoda version looks nearly identical as well. I think the ID3 looks a bit more adventurous for a hatch. But if they sell millions as they want they’ll be everywhere anyway so inoffensive is good thing.

Citreon C4 PicassoBrilliant car, high AP but you can see what your paying for with this one IMO.
3.0 straight 6 diesel would love that one. Shame the 20d isn’t on the scheme as that’s supposed to be the best allrounder. Also why no Msport it’s the most popular spec, surley better for resale?
