Yes. We decided we wanted a 1.6 lounge but not red. We had to capitulate on the colour eventually. For some reason it seems all the 1.6 lounges we could find were red. Really wanted it in this colour (ideally with the 2-tone white roof panels too!). Enjoy, they're great cars!
Hi just getting used Al and have just reset a false tire presure warning by pressing
the set button under the radio screen and scrolling up and down by pressing the lamp buttons iether side of the set button.While i was about it i changed the display to read mph on the dash screen using the same buttons.We are finding the car comfortable and relaxing the ride about town /motorway are good.

We bought an MPW because the profile just looked better than the standard 500l. The better boot space is also a bonus but not a deal breaker as there's only the two of us.
We also have a two tone black and white car and love the colour scheme.
There are two disappointments. First is the view of the speedo (rhd). I've now got used to leaning to the left to see it - which is a poor show.
Second, we went for the 1.4 petrol. For no other reason than it was in stock. It is way under powered and that six speed gearbox needs a lot of working to make progress. We are delighted with the wife's 1.2 2014 Panda and thought the extra CCs would be sufficient in this bigger car. Also the bhp was only down on our old 1.6 Renault Scenic which had a good turn of speed.

Hi I spent a lot of time to replacing our old Croma and looked at several other cars before settling on Al. We really liked the 500X but after a test drive didn't like it at all . Overall theese mpws are a good car at a very good price.Our car is pre registered with 49miles and the dealer has ticked every option available and we love it's greenpaint.
Hi all when I bought Al I was offered a service package for £400 pounds, what are the usual costs for services?.From what I can see the first and thrird srvices seem to be inspections only and the second includes oil and filter.As I have always serviced our cars myself I am somewhat reluctant to part with £400 for two looking at's and one filter change,
I had a service done by Vospers which is the closest main dealer and my 2nd service cost £351 something. I think the 1st one they charged me over £100 but I would need to check the exact figure. I have a service plan set up so it has not cost me that much. I guess depending on where you go varies on what they charge
I have bought the £400 service plan after checking prices with local dealers which were even more scarey.It will good to have the srevice history stamped and supose doing some overtime instead of working on the car will ease my wallet.:hm:
