Indecision regarding trim levels: Inscription vs R-Design

It has to do with personal preference. I love my interior and I can ensure that there is no problem with the blond leather. You can remove dirt or stains very easily. The seats are also comfortable but for example the leg extension works better on the R-design.

Just a small comment regarding the rims: 19" tires are not very expensive, if you start going above 20" it becomes really expensive (or as per the Portuguese expression "caros pa crl").

I chose to stick with the 19" wheels because they are cheaper to maintain. Since I have air suspension, 19" or 22" would ride the same so the comfort argument is not valid here but riding on a stiffer r-design suspension, you will notice the car a bit harder on bumps.

Ahahaha

ooh man... made my day !

Nop... but they all say the same. Same dealership, same talk always. I guess in some way we can use in this situation, the expression "cartilheiros". Only Portuguese will understand :P eheheh

Mine was N.A. But i know F.C.

We keep going back and forth over the models too. Personally I prefer the lighter feel from the Inscription but I much prefer leather and alcantara mix that pure leather, for me much softer and more importantly not scotching hot when you get in during the summer months.

Ideally I would lake the lighter side / roof trim with the black leather & alcantara seats but frustratingly thats not an option. The panoramic roof does make it feel lighter but I have been put off them from one going wrong in a previous car.

Save all your decision making and take a look at the "stock" cars that they have, if they meet a significant percent of your needs then get instant gratification of a new car next week...

Like I did two weeks ago.

But I guess this is a cultural phenomenon. While there you have to avoid dealerships in big cities and choose dealerships in smaller towns to get a better deal, here you have to avoid smaller towns and choose big cities to get the bigger discounts.
