Thanks both. I'll get a tray ordered then to stop stuff from just bouncing about in there.

Up to 773 miles now, with a couple of longest runs around the 110 mile mark. All in 16 days. That 5k limit is going to need some bartering to extend.

It's so much better than I expected, the standout for me (coming from a Tesla Model Y) is ride and refinement. The C10 is such a chilled and comfortable place to be. I was worried about the seats being basic and having no lumbar support, but for me they are very good over 2-3 hour drives.

As mentioned before, music sound quality vastly improved with carlinkit and having apple carplay has uplifted the tech.

We took this as we ordered it on the £161 deal and when it came in it was too big for Mrs interstellar so we managed to get her the Ford Puma deal at £139.

I took it as it was too cheap to not take it but it’s much better than I expected and it’s very relaxing to drive. I am loving the silence on the motorway and I am thinking of selling my other car which is a Cayman 4.0 GTS manual.

I might need to hand my pistonheads card in on the way out.

What’s the best setting for keeping windows clear now the weathers turned damp & miserable.

Had a car full yesterday, had demister on max, heating on 27C, seats on & HRW it took a good while to get windows clear

Also which setting directs heat into rear passengers through vents to rear.

Am I missing something?

Range took a big hit eek

Don't worry, we won't tell them over at pistonheads ;-)

That's so much car for £300 between the two, wow.

Should there be a can of tyre sealant with the car? I've found the little compressor but wasn't sure if there should a sealant that goes along with it.

Were you in eco mode and that was strangling the HVAC?

I did 40 miles home including 30 mins stationary on the M4 and it was fine on 22 and eco. I picked up the kids and then back to the car with soaking coats and umbrellas and bags and spent 5 mins before moving off. Noticed the back window misted up and had to use the demister. Overall it seemed to cope ok but I can imagine a car full of adults might have meant it struggled more.

If you were in eco (as I was) I would certainly suggest trying another mode.

This week's temps have also been on the cusp for the heat pump. I've heard it a couple of times but not sure it was running yesterday. That will help economy in lower temps.

I wonder what you would have said 10 years ago if I'd predicted that in 2025 you'd buy a big Chinese SUV and sell the Cayman? biggrinbiggrin

The last car I had that received this much attention was my Elise of which I took delivery about 3 months after launch. I've had 5-10 people proactively comment on the colour (Thunderbird 2 green), ask what it is, etc. Mad. This has definitely exceeded my expectations.

Now... who would have another one in 2 years and at what price?

Same here. Even the Tesco delivery guy was raving about the colour!

Glad it's only for two years though - EVs are progressing so fast that I can't imagine what the standard will be like in two years' time!

Yes things are moving quick, I could be convinced into the next Awd model for sure smile

The chargers don't seem to lock while not actively charging, does anyone know why this is? Is it possible to lock it even when not charging to prevent theft?

On a granny charger it doesn’t lock that’s correct or do you mean on a fast charger?

Yes, exactly, the granny charger doesn't lock at the vehicle side when not charging. I schedule my charging overnight so there's quite a bit of time where it's plugged in not charging. Does it lock even when not charging with the fast chargers (I don't have a fast charger)

Not sure but it doesn’t lock when charging on the granny either as I understand not that it bothers me. Two weeks and I won’t need it again once our home charger gets fitted.
