Other things that it has over the Life spec: nicer headlights, nicer seats, pockets on the back of the front seats, pano roof, alloys, ski hatch with armrest in back seats, IQ light across the bonnet. All kind of things that come down to personal taste, really. We went with the style because it was €1250 more than the Life version, and to upgrade to alloys on the Life would have been €950 alone, so going the extra €300 made sense.

The pedals do they have the play pause motif? are there many other little details missing/different that are not clear from reading the product guide. Every show room is some upper end model, same for youtube

At least as good as the Leaf, better than the Auris. One thing I'd budget for with the Life version is a set of alloys. The steel wheels are grand but the alloys really finish off the car

DrPhilG wrote: » Well that is my next problem. As you say value won't matter that much, since I do plan to keep it the 3 years and then trade for another new one. If I take the loaner offered I'll be out about €1k in petrol waiting for January, or half that if I take an October car.. So for the sake of about €500 difference, would anyone wait for the January car or just grab it ASAP? The other big potential issue is the 0% finance. If I wait for 221 there's no guarantee it'll continue.

He's offered a loaner til the ID3 comes, but I don't want an October reg car. But if I push back to a January collection, there's no guarantee that the 0% finance will still exist. Plus I'm due to handover the i3 at the end of July so even if the 0% rolled onto the 221 car, that would mean 5 months of paying for petrol.
