Styling Warning to 4x4 buyers.

Yes, my nearly-new MJ has metallic (Anthracite grey) and the winter pack. Also 2/3 split rear seat and three belts. No DAB though... One year old, 2500 miles, and £11k – a bargain, me hopes.

Yes sounds like a good deal to me; dealer who had the 2 month old pre reg with delivery miles was asking 14k and the only option was metallic paint.

Full spec I've ordered included the Winter Pack and DAB, also included a spare, metallic paint (RRP for the option seems a bit steep mind), side airbags and comfort kit. Still waiting to hear from the dealer that the order has gone in mind.

Hi, let me tell you my experiences.
I took delivery of my Fiat Panda Cross twin air just over a week ago, I found that although the handbook described two usb ports - one on the dash with mounting point for phone cradle and one in the glove box with Aux socket. I have only one usb - on the dash, very disappointed! One other major annoyance is the Fiat car configurator that I filled in when ordering my car (which included winter pack, tinted rear windows and reverse parking sensors) also stated that my car came with mats, I mentioned that there were no mats with my car to the dealer, I have yet to have them come back to me about that ( I will be leaving facebook a review of the dealership as they asked me to - but not like they would like if it is not sorted!) I have however bought some nice custom fit rubber mats for the Cross off Ebay for £21 and a brilliant custom fit rubber boot liner off Ebay for £31 and it fits beautifully. I've been trying to find out if there are any running in recommendations for the twin air engine as the handbook says nothing about this, does anyone know the recommendations?
 
Fiat list carpet mats as a paid for accessory https://www.fiat.co.uk/mopar/accessories# , but the rubber ones (here, under 'comfort'... https://www.fiat.it/mopar/accessori# ) are not (apparently) made for RHD versions. Since my 4x4 gets used 'in the countryside' I didn't want velour, but found some 'deep tray' rubber ones (so water/mud stays 'in them' rather than running off into the carpet at the edges) in TK Maxx (trim to fit)

But, do you instead get an air con vent in the glovebox, which helps keep drinks and chocolate chilled? To me (since I don't use the USB or Aux in the glovebox of mine – all goes via Bluetooth), that would be more use :) [see back to Post 6 of this thread]

Unfortunately I don't have an air con vent in my glovebox, the only car I have owned with that facility was an early Fiat Stilo some years ago. Not having the second usb is mildly irritating as I have a tiny 64gb memory stick in the dash top usb and would rather of had it in the glove box and used the dash top one for using on my phone when using it as a sat nav. All I will do now is plug a phone charger into the 12v socket near the gear stick.

Cest la vie, or as they say in France 'Such is life'.
