Tick Tock, not long to go now.
Hope it all goes well and the weather picks up when you go and collect
Hope you had a good collection this morning. Can't wait to see it
It's home!
Weather is pretty nasty, so going to hold off on decent pics for the minute. But here's a few teasers. First one was taken with the dashcam in the Panda and is our first view of our lovely new car. Second was also at the dealer, but with my phone and third is in our car port.
First impressions - it's enormous inside! Had to get my 5 year old to speak up cause I couldn't hear him miles away in the back. Panoramic sunroof looks very nice, 5 year old said WOW! when it was opened the first time.
Engine is definitely not as pokey as the Panda's twinair, it was a little more sluggish going up the steep hill at the bottom of our road, but not as bad as the Honda CRV we used to have. It's very quiet, not just because it isn't a twinair but because the cabin is notably better insulated as well.
I absolutely LOVE the colour. You can't tell from the pics, but it has a very obvious green cast to it. I don't know why this doesn't show on camera, but it's very clear in real life. As we were getting car seats in, another salesman with some customers walked past and they all noted how nice it was.
The diamond-cut wheels really finish it. The sales manager said we had made a good choice picking them, especially at just £50!
Anyway, will post up a new thread with more pics and info as soon as the weather improves a bit. Thanks everyone for putting up with my impatience these last ten weeks. It's been a very exciting experience!
