[quote=""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 ...[/quote]


Mine came with the electric sport seats....Not really bothered about the styling differences. My wife loved the car as soon as she saw it, had to work on her on the colour as she wanted black. The only upgrades that weren't there that I liked were comfort access and head up display. Neither were deal breakers and I rather like the colour, not one of the more common colours

Because the msport is quicker![/quote]

When I was looking the performance figures were identical between the SE and the Msport.[/quote]

I'm taking the piss - youll learn with me![/quote]

Actually as I was pressing submit I did have my suspicions! ;)

[quote=""pvr""]Agree on the 30d to 40d upgrade. How can the 60-odd hp upgrade cost the same as a satnav ....[/quote]

I know, it's nuts! Not grumbling though. I suspect that had I bought the 30D would have regretted it. I wonder how many people have spent money on an extra inch on the alloys when for another grand they could have the extra power?

Thank you for the interior pics. :thumbsup:

Looks even nicer! My fav combo, interior leather, exterior colour and the alloys. I like the SE for the side-steps (regardless of only being good for getting your clothes dirty), my kids need em to get in!

May get lucky one day! Well done!
