(Seriously though, well done getting the van repatriation sorted and condolences on the flat. I assume it being a modern there is no spare and just a can of tyre gloop?)

AxWomble Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 That is fantastic news @loserone! Many congratulations to you and the fam. Totally shocking that it took that level of input from you to get the service that you deserve though, especially with Sprogs in tow. Not good, AA!

loserone Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Zero choice. Looking at the facebook group plenty people are calling up to chase six month old orders at UK dealers and being told that the cancelled order they'd asked for has been sold three times over. Some have waited nine months. Obviously it was the first dealer Mrs L1 rang, and also the only car we looked at.

loserone Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just now, AnnoyingPentium said: Oh yes. I didn't know you had specced 4x4 on yours. It looks rather dashing in the orange too. Ours is white with the 1.0 Turbo 100 FWD, an Essential trim with some nice extras. We're nearly 9000 miles in at almost two years and we're pretty happy with the car. Yeah, I think if 4x4 hadn't been a requirement then we'd have just saved a ton of money and got a Jogger. But if we're going to have something around for a long while, it had better do everything. *no, it can't fit three child seats in the back.

It's OK, we'll need a roofbox or similar for family camping trips. We did actually arrive early so wasted some time at the Peugeot dealer opposite. New peugeots look shit, are expensive, and aren't that roomy - I had thought a 508 might be a viable car for a family of five, but it's smaller than a 205 inside.

We've not been camping yet with ours, we're going down to a static caravan in Silloth during the summer holiday though. It was the Auris we last took camping, with me being drowned in the back with all the various shite we took. A roofbox would probably benefit yous all indeed.

loserone Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Yes, the Comfort rather than top spec on has AC not climate, ONE reversing camera not 4 all round cameras, an 8" touch screen not 10", and needs plugging a cable in for Android Auto, you can't use wifi. Also it has 16" wheels rather than 17". All round it's better, really. 320touring, Coprolalia, Stanky and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
