[quote=""pvr""]Why? It is an SE ...

Lovely colour, also an SE colour only.[/quote]

Just thought it was the engine that dictated tail pipe not engine plus spec

I love that colour-I would get a CB one

[quote=""pvr""]Is that Oyster interior?[/quote]

Yes - we woudn't have gone for it if the floors and roof had been lights as well. We'd looked at a Toureg and rejected it partly because the whole interior was light, pretty impractical especially with a big dog who although he will live in the back likes to jump in any open door!

The only tiny niggle I have is, why on a 50k car is comfort access a £800 option when you can buy a 15k car when it comes with it. That and compounding it by putting the slot right by the button just makes it cumbersome if you have anything else like housekeys on you the ring with it.

CB only MSport colour, oval exhaust only MSport model.

SE + Dynamic pack is about £1500 cheaper than a MSport model.

Knew about CB and msport bit, that is why I chose it!

Didn't see any benefit in paying £1500 more for a badge as exclusive a badge as it is. Went for the 40d as it's silly to not pay only 2 k more for an uplift in power for minimal mpg cost. My wife wanted a car with vroom and boy, she's got it. Now comparing insurance quotes as on the 7 day free insurance at the moment...

That was a tough call for me when I ordered mine re dynamic or sport because I wasn't not 100% sure on body kit or wheel upgrade.

I did go sport in the end

As you say engine choice is a no brainer

Mine also has the 20 inch upgrade. They make the ride firmer but they look fantastic

[pvr]

Body kit, thick steering wheel, oval exhaust, different roof rails, fully electric front seats (as opposed to partial) seems what you get for that £1500 difference.

Also MSport is in a higher insurance group ...

Because the msport is quicker!

[pvr]

Agree on the 30d to 40d upgrade. How can the 60-odd hp upgrade cost the same as a satnav ....

When I was looking the performance figures were identical between the SE and the Msport.
