I don't have to pay road tax for 3 years as part of the lease :grin:
I would have chosen a petrol or hybrid myself but my fiancé chose the model due to the deal,

Also

f you buy your car before 1 April 2017, you won't be affected by these changes, because they only apply to cars registered on or after that date. Your tax will continue to be calculated using the old system of CO2 emissions, meaning that in the vast majority of cases you'll be better off.

ohhhhhhhhhh...... that's good to know....

I think I made a mistake in buying my car rather than lease - Did I make a mistake?

I think there are pros and cons of both. My parents were shocked and seemed against it when I first got a lease. They kept saying "but you won't own it?"
I've never had a luxury/prestige car before and never anything newer than 5 years old so that was an advantage.

My partner is very good at hunting for deals so for the last one we paid way less over 2 years than the car depreciated by. This one is going to be the same.
So it made sense to us, if the market/availability changes then we might have to do things differently in future.

Leasing makes perfect sense so often if you want a newer car....no depreciation, fixed cost and no residual or disposal worries....

The c coupe really is so much more nicely resolved than the saloon I think. Very nice.

Lisa, have you done the speech recognition calibration routine in settings menu? Should help it get to grips with the accent a wee bit! ;-)

The comand online in the coupe doesn't have a problem with my accent at all. It responds so quickly as well, calculates my route in a second rather than 3 minutes or so. I'm thinking there was an issue with the navi in the 64 saloon in general.

It's been ok in mine, apart from a brief glitch one year in when it decided that it was about 1 mile offshore, just south of Brixham... When I was about 15 miles northwest!
