Nice one! I just picked up my Ice White D2 today. Was going for no options but then buckled and got a few extras. Only a few hours in and loving it.

It was already made so it came with some nice options at a great price. One of the features is the park pilot. I thought it would be a gimmick I'd never use but after playing with it, its bloody brilliant!

Going to give it a month before I start to do my review as it takes me about that long to get comfy in a car but initial findings are its very comfy but I find the bolsters on the r design a little intruding, hopefully they will bed in.

Enjoy the long wait, the car is worth it!

I believe August is the month of holidays that would automatically throw back the production a month or so(I could be wrong re hols time though).

With you guys that have ordered the R Design model, was there any particular reason why, over say the SE or the SE LUX etc?

Regards

We choose the R-Design for these reasons:
1. R-Design looks without a doubt more sporty and suits the V40.
2. Better seats.
3. Wife insisted on it!
