Good tip for those just receiving their cars - For overtaking hold the down paddle for 2 seconds, the car automatically choses the best gear and you are off like a rocket, rather than you having to go down yourself from 6 to 3 for example hunting for the best gear Just got mine this morning so any other general setup tips much appresciated! Loving it so far!

With mine I got it put down as my name and the name of the company on the v5 / keeper. Churchill insurance is who I went with 825 a year for 17000 miles, tell them it's a company car but do the insurance in your name they will list your company name down on the insurance. My accountant said it would be fine doing it that way and to pay with the company bank account because the link to the car is with the reg. Hope that helps.
Hi, this is my first company car so just checked with both the lease broker and the parent lease company regarding insurance.Interestingly both said the following:
Registered Owner = LEASE COMPANY
Registered Keeper = LEASE COMPANY
I did a quote online and it came out as the same price anyway.... £350
It may be worth checking as you know these insurance companies find any excuse to not payout

With my car I'm the sole director of the company and it was purchased for cash, so the company is the owner of the car.
With my insurance it's down for 100% class one business use but also for personal use. With my last d120 m sport it was 600 for the same cover, so I didn't think 825 was that bad for a car worth and power half as much again. I would be interested how you have got insurance for 350 unless the insurance companies don't like me lol

Ah I see - sorry assumed that people were talking about leased car insurance. This is my first leased company car (like you I'm the sole director and always owned a car before) so wasn't sure what to expect re insurance.
Luckily I was able to transfer my 12 years no claims discount so got a good price
I'm 4 days in and so in love with my car.........it's soooo much fun to drive and it very quickly learns you're driving style.
Flick the gear lever into sport mode and boot it - flick it back, drop off the gas and it drops straight into EV mode for 30mph areas etc.
