I really like the seats in my Model S, at least as comfortable as the ones in the XF and decent support.
The M3P is a bit of an oddity. It has the performance of a BMW M3 but costs and running cost of something much slower. Body hugging seats might not be the most popular thing then, but they should offer it as an option or just put them in the Performance.

Yep, for the price gap there now is to the LR better more performance orientated seats should be a no cost option as would justify it better. They aren't really very suited to the level of performance/handling on offer when you want to press on. The M3P is a bit of an oddity.

Interesting comparison review, especially the comments regarding the perceived quality of the interiors.

I was plugged in next to one with the performance pack, today in Perth.
I had a fairly good look at it and I was not very impressed with the looks, it looks quite good from the front but fairly dull and generic from other angles, personally I prefer the model three from every angle except the front.
The interior looked dull and cramped and I think it will date quickly.
It was black and quite dirty which did not help, maybe it would look better in a brighter colour and looks aren’t everything but it certainly did not make me want to own one.

I do, I have done 75k miles in it in 2.5 years and will be replacing it next year. I am still deciding what to replace it with but a long range Tesla model 3 is looking most likely at the moment.
30,000 miles per year in a Zoe is incredible!The Zoe has been pretty good but more space, range, performance and better handling are my main priorities for my next car.

That is a very boring selection of colours.
Yeah, I misread your "brighter" for "more vibrant".But it's quite dull. Don't understand the usual Polestar blue isn't in there?

Not really, we’ve got a new 50 and it’s popularity In the household fleet is such that I can see us extending the lease from 16k to at least 20kpa so we don’t get hammered for excess miles In one hit at the end.After opting out of the company car scheme a few years ago, I’m currently investigating opting back in. 0% Blk rising to 2 or 3% over the next couple of years is a no brainier.
£7.2k allowance is about £360 take home after tax. I run a shed, but still stick £60 a week in diesel in it, £400 to insure it, £600 in servicing and another £200 in road tax, another £200 in tyres. That little lot is over £300 a month before having to spend £1500 every couple of years to buy a shed and unexpected bills. Free charging at my office, 90 miles away, which I visit 2-3 times a week.
Looking at a Kona, top spec, 64kw on company car list and I get £120 a month cash back as I wouldn’t be burning the whole allowance. Base M3 on there as well, but I’d have to contribute quite a bit to that. No Volvo though for whatever reason.
Pretty much free new car then to replace shed. Might creep up to £40 a month in 3-4 years time. This is an unemotional switch, purely down to ££££. Don’t even care what colour.

I leased a Kona 64 Premium SE for my wife to join my M3P, both through my company - we both do 12k miles/annum. We are very happy indeed with it and it is very efficient - 4.3 miles/kwh. The cost savings vs running 2 personal cars are incredible.

If I were you, I would take the Kona and the £120 unless you really need a bigger car/do lots of long trips.

Edit... Just saw the DS one... I can see it now
