Your move over along with Juice’s car are the reasons I’d pretty much decided to go with a 55.
Do it! It is a brilliant car - the engine is just awesome and that noise.... It would be a perfect car for a long trip, but I'm not sure it will happen this year either. That, and a desire not to have four cars means it has to make room for an Up! or something for my boy. 595Heaven said:

I’m not sure - I could order one just before Christmas, wife wanted pearl white but it would seem that colour option is no longer available
I believe they’re on the run out due to the electric car coming out next year. They’ve just released a few new 695 part bins as part of this. Only white on the configurator is gara white, don’t think Pearl white has been offered on the series4 onwards.

Carparion cheap lease Esseesse just arrived... my initial impression is its like going back to my renault 5 campus in 1990, built from old tin cans/bottle tops!
Seriously, its quite a gokart. The alcantara/carbon wheel is lovely, so are the Sabelt seats. Konis are v firm, im fine with apart from the worst speed bumps. Long journeys and i will take the family car. The LSD is a hoot esp on wet bends where you can whip out v little torque steer. 5 speed box meh. Cant see point of carbon backed seats as you never see them. The exhaust is just plain yobo... I went into a multistory and reversed into a space jesus! Got home and a builder next door couldnt believe it was std, said it sounded epic! Def attracts people wanting a traffic light gp....
6 months in and done 1300 miles. I mainly use it to nip to the gym, shopping. Furthest ive been is caffeine and machine, 40mile round trip so no long journeysSeriously, its quite a gokart.

Still dislike the Renault 5 build (in our house its affectionately called the s
tbox).... though still loving the zorst, seats, LSD and handling. The 26mpg would be a PITA if i was doing any mileage, but the economy/tax/servicing pales into insignificance compared to the possible depreciation.....Have just looked on WBAC its current offer stands at £16,300. Thats on the Esseesse that is still on AT new at £31k! Some people on a PCP could get seriously burnt.... i lease at £250pm, when i looked a 1.0 fiat 500 "pop" was £180pm so overall im pleased with it as it always brings a smile to your facecheeky_chops said:

If you were doing bigger mileage you’d see that average around 37mpg. Still dislike the Renault 5 build (in our house its affectionately called the s
