Thanks BTXC90. Delivery date apparently is the end of March.
Never find I use a sunroof, or panoramic roof so couldn't justify the extra cost, also it's just potentially another thing to go wrong with leaks etc. Tbh the only reason I went for the park assist pilot was because I wanted front parking sensors and this was the only way to get them.

I am hoping for the end of March but maybe before. I have the park assist as it is part of the Zenium pack. When I looked at the prices of the extras with the Zenium Pack and the extras as singles it worked out at only about £400 more and you get the sunroof etc. which costs over a grand on its own + the all round cameras. I have caravan so I need to see to get past it as it is a tight fit on the drive and in the garage. Also as I am in the Caravan Club the dealer gave me the metallic paint free and knocked a few hundred off the extras as per the CC deal. saved around £4500 on the list price (including the towbar factory fitted semi electric).

My friend described the towbar deploying out from under the bumper as "swinging out like a Donkey's Nob". I cannot help but to be reminded of this everytime I use it......

Thankfully I don't need a towbar ;-)
I did get a good deal on the car though so can't complain. Looking forward to delivery now! |

The vocal( grumpy) minority( to which I proudly belong),may sometimes make it seem it is all bad. For all its flaws,I love my X90. There is a feeling of wholesomeness and well-being I get driving the car, I am addicted to. |
