of the few choices available, a balance between quality and price would be the Premium Contact 6 adn sporty option would be Sport Contact 6. |

I'm so glad you like it! Our previous vehicle was a South Korean SUV; gosh who'd have guessed it.

It came on Pirelli P Zero tyres and fortunately, none of them is close to needing replacement yet. With regards to alternatives, I would have to have a good search on the internet of reputable reviews and prices but as it stands I don't have a particular tyre in mind.

I am not sure if this a brand new car, Bogus, or a Selekt one - new ones should have a Vodaphone 100GB SIM card fitted in the slot at the back of the boot floor. Also make sure that VOC is set up for you. Definitely check that those 21” alloys haven’t been kerbed!!

You will need to purchase your own SIM if you want to make use of the Apps built in to the Sensus infotainment system and SatNav traffic alerts. I bought a “Three” 12 month, 12GB data SIM online earlier this month for £27.99, replacing the one I bought a year ago. You could use your data from your phone to do the same job if you have a contract with a good amount of data each month. Hope that helps.

I would echo what Suffolkboy has said and that is to make sure the VOC is set-up by the dealer before you leave. You can download the app ahead of time to ease the process. My car didn't come with a sim but I purchased a bargain Vodafone 24 month SIM for a very good price by just keeping my eyes open for deals (doesn't have to be V-fone). There is no rush to get it so until then you can just use your own phone as its connection. I can't recall the price I paid, or the size, as I recently managed to delete every single email that I've ever received. All of them. So I don't have a record anymore.
You will get two regular keyfobs and one 'sports' keyfob. I would test them all. I'm a bit weird in that I always like to have the sales brochures and price list for the car I'm buying so you could ask him for an old one which he may well still have. I also like to have a paper copy of the Owners Manual as there is not one with the car. It comes from Sweden and was about £35 but he may be feeling generous and cover that otherwise, it needs ordering. Touch-up paint would be handy but I haven't got around to it yet. I'm going to order one today as I've just realised it's a discontinued colour and may be in short supply.

As a Selekt car all the software should have been updated, but perhaps check to make sure this is the case. Also there is currently a ongoing Recall Notification for the AEB system, worth finding out if this has been done.

One more thing related to Polestar, actually two.
1. Make sure that the dealer fits the little Polestar badge to the tailgate. 2. Make sure he gives you the package that comes with Polestar that consists of an aluminium plate with an S90 printed on it if only so you can marvel at its beauty and ask "Why?". Pointless piece of metal and maybe I'm missing something but it does allow them to somehow justify the price of a small piece of software.
