Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    The Active spec has a Skoda headunit, it’s not touchscreen, but it’s a normal enough radio with a very small screen.
    Unless they’ve changed the radio this year.

    I would guess that the Ambition spec outsells the Active spec at least 30:1

    No that's the one know the price attracts buyers who don't care about spec but would you want to sit looking at that everyday i was just trying to respond that they are very much still here I've seen new model superbs with wheel trims probably company cars but come on

    Nobody really buys the Active spec apart from rental companies though. As you say it exists to hit a price point, but the dealers will upsell to Ambition or Style spec, especially if it’s on finance.

    If someone really wants a car with no spec why not offer a basic level spec as an entry point?

    Dacia offered the sandero in the uk in proper basic trim remember the ads but they wer something like 5grand new so they sold

    This "Paddy spec" thing is just shorthand for a post-colonial lack of national self respect.

    If you want "toys" in your car spec them and pay up.
    If other people don't what's it to you?

    I couldn't care less about anybody's decision to wot they drive will repeat the fact is they are still here so maybe the distributors should show some respect and not offer those versions

    I'd be very surprised if many of those cars were from pre 2014 so I'm not really sure what Nissan is on about. Sounds to me like a desperate call for protectionism that will be ignored.
