Do you have a way to ensure it starts in sport+one pedal? Mine resets each time so I have to disable one-pedal, put it into sport and then enable one-pedal.
When in Sport and using one pedal, I can confirm car comes to a complete stop.

Same here. One pedal and sport on together.
Not sure if it is actually one pedal or just the regen setting in custom you can choose from. One pedal brings car to complete stop. jodypess said:
Interesting reasons. I can categorically say that one pedal driving works in Sport mode as that's how I drive it. Works pretty well and tried it the other day with One Pedal off and feels wierd now.

Im still waiting ordered with promised delivery by end of this week. This then got pushed to mid December I complained and Leap managed to source me one sitting in the port so now waiting for the confirmationm of arriving at the dealer. Im on a lease deal is it true they insure it for you for 7 days?
It's 5 days. And they'll give you a quote for a monthly comprehensive insurance, which wasn't actually that bad. Car turned up about midday. No Comms from dealer, just a call from delivery driver (who was a decent bloke) when he was about an hour away. Not had a chance to mess about with it yet but took it a quick run round the block before putting it in the garage as I don't need it just yet.
It seems really good though. Very happy.

Congrats on the delivery! We look forward to an in depth review Car turned up about midday.

On the topic of insurance, on the basis that the cheapest quotes are often 3 weeks before a policy starts, was there a tip to get a quote using a reg from a car advertised on autotrader and then swap it to the correct reg on the day you get the car?
If so does changing the reg only on the quote not affect the original quote price and what about the delay in the reg number showing on the database (so it likely won'tbe recognised at the time of collection)?

For me it was £360ish I think 3 weeks out or £420 the day before. Just went with day before.

Yes I did this and it worked with aviva or quotemehappy. The original quote remains.If so does changing the reg only on the quote not affect the original quote price and what about the delay in the reg number showing on the database (so it likely won'tbe recognised at the time of collection)?
Note that it will take some time for your reg to appear on their database, for me it took 9 days. If it doesn't find the reg using their reg lookup and you need to resort to a manual entry, it will increase your premium, perhaps by 15% or so.
Get the 5 day free insurance and hope that the reg appears by the end of it.

A quick question for those that have received their cars... does the storage space under the central arm rest have a tray with separate compartments or is just a big empty square? Just wondering if I need to order some sort of tray for it? Thanks.

Mine is a big empty space. The manual was put in there.spaceship said:

As a comparison I ran a quote earlier today with Aviva to also start on the 10th December and that was £30 a month which is around £370 a year. I've got that quote saved and when my car arrives I'll add the reg and hopefully keep it around the same price.
