I'm fully intending to renew the extended warranty as it will be costly if it goes haywire!

It's a 2021 HSE with the sports seats and the fancy 22" rims with the carbon fibre inserts - and I couldn't be happier!

I don't have any range anxiety issues due to where I live, and can get about an 85% charge on our "cheap rate" electric hours of 20:30 - 06:30 - so costs me about £4 a week to run

I went and had a look at one - nice enough inside (arguably nicer than the Capri which isn't miles away from the same monthly cost to me as the larger MG), big and has a massive, square boot.

both capri and explorer seem to be cheap ways to get into the latest efficient vag 550 drivetrain.2nd hand too, if you want a big SUV;
only saw my first explorer recently and thought - could I drive that down our double parked road; ford dealers more numerous than mg as well.

Recently took an EX90 out for a test-drive, love the car however its even longer than our XC90 and i think that may be a problem for some places we drive / park i.e. Knutsford could be a nightmare, plus the battery range isn't even close to the recently released EX60.

Going to test an EX60 and then decide if i want to wait 2 / 3 years for a used one, buy a used EX90 soon or just stick with what we have.

We stumbled on a pretty incredible quote on an Citroen C5 Aircross Max 97kwh, with 16k miles for £375pcm all inclusive. The equivalent Peugeot e5008 was working out at £538, so the Citroen is quite a bit cheaper for virtually the same car, minus the extra 2 seats that would have come in useful.

Not sure it'll be honoured by the leasing company yet though - the quote was saved from a few weeks ago. Re-doing the exact same details now comes back at over £600.

The dealers might have been offering really low deals to finance compaies to hit some sales target before the end of the month. Happens a lot.
