      Oh I'm loving them. My other half has had leased Aygo's for the last 4 cars and they are getting a bit long in the tooth but nothing else really to match it. That looks like just the job if the colour and spec options aren't too expensive. Deffo be looking in to these.

      EDIT : Ugh, saying that the main reason for the Aygo is the cost. These look like they are another 100 quid a month on top without going mad on extras. Maybe not. Will have a look to see if the extra is worth it though

        35+ years ago I worked opposite Lister jag and one of the mechanics had a souped up Renault that went like shovel assisted poop! I suppose he couldn't afford a jag?

          Porsche electrics are still too expensive for my 3000 miles a year, but maybe in future.

              I test-drove the Macan 4 EV, I was more impressed with the Q6 Quattro. They are on thee same premium VW EV platform.

                I assume he wanted to drive his car rather than admire it in the workshop.

                  Tesla Y Long Range, leased - love it to be fair. Cheap leases to be had now before the model change.

                    We have a winner. I went for the Y AWD in the end. As quick as the Macan, bigger than the Q6 and pretty much all the optional extras as standard for £30k less and interest-free.

                    Brits losing their minds over Musk because of the Democrat smear campaign has been the icing on the cake, to be honest.

                      Looking on the bright side, The Reichleiter's product is a bit less likely to get 7.62x39 holes in it than in SepticLand.
                      When the fun stops, STOP.
