What option did you get that you think you could have left

Post by Kev »

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing :)

Are there any options you chose that you think you could probably have left off if you ordered again?

The folding mirrors are neat but I think I probably would have left the box unticked for them if I got another. For the places I park I don't think folding them makes much odds and I can't say I've really noticed the puddle lights.

I didn't want hill hold but it came on the car.

The folding mirrors are indispensable with a narrow garage though

Winter pack, the headlights have no wipers so squirting water onto them does not remove road crud, just empties the washer bottle quicker and unless your screen wash is strong, in this past winters cold weather the jets blocked even though they are supposedly heated. I guess thats down to the fluid freezing in the pipe downstream of the spray nozzle.

Take the fuse out. I did it the day I got my car. There is a seperate fuse for them, I can't remember which one though. No more screenwash drying over the front of the car, mazing!

SatNav - this is the worst unit I have owned in a car - the 4 digit postcode is a real pain.. I use SatNav a lot and it has failed to get me to 80% of my destinations unless I go on multimap and find the exact location and use the map positioning to locate the place. The maps are no newer than in my last car so they are at least three years out of date.

Get TomTom as it isn't worth getting the satnav in my opinion.

Totally disagree with you on that one greeper. I love the SatNav but I agree that a full postcode search would have been better.
