Took a test drive, 2 hours later ordered an advance in Crystal Blue. My first EV, primarily for my 20 mile each way commute. Loved the tech, like the neat touches like the tail lights on the driver display showing when the car is braking, very comfortable for me, nice drive, ticked lots of boxes, like the fact that it doesn't have the neck snapping of some EV's (have had three disks removed from my neck!) Really looking forward to it.

Another none city dweller for this little city car :lol:

In theory delivery around mid Sept.

Great colour, not biased at all! ;)

Mid-September? That's not long to wait at all. Fingers crossed for you.

Welcome
And also completely agree with your colour choice 👍
Stuff to note:
- negotiate the service costs down
- mats are not included so discuss that in the deal
- there a new one for £27100 at Marshall’s Honda. Blue. Advanced. 17” wheels. Hmmm

Are you sure it's £27,100, the one at Marshall’s is £29,710 on Autotrader.

The cheapest one that I can find is a pre registered one in Charge Yellow at £28,500, though supposedly does come with the Illumination pack.

Welcome milligoon! Is your handle a Spike Milligan reference?

Out of interest Jools, what did you pay for your service package and mats?

I haven't noticed this feature, will watch out for it. Maybe my eyes are glued to road ahead - country roads!

re. Charger: Have only been using trickle charge supplied, with no problems overnight. And some free @Tesco
