Don't pay the dealership the extra £30 for the tin of Werther's Originals in the glove compartment. It's cheaper to buy your own tin of Werther's Originals and install it in the glove compartment yourself.Comment

Full leather interior. Only poor people have cloth seats.
Sat Nav / Multimedia system. Because a stick on sat nav screams you are a pauper.
Tinted windows. Otherwise poor people can cast their vile eyes upon you.
Huge wheels. Just because you know that if someone has bigger wheels than you, you are pwned.
