They're only just beginning to trickle through on to the market. I hadn't seen any either, be it in showrooms or on the road, until mine was delivered last week.

I've only seen 2 within a radius of 30 miles of where I live.... both of which are local Demonstrator cars.

I too cover loads of miles on a weekly basis and apart from mine have only seen one other parked up near where I live (i obviously live in a wealthy discerning area :grin: :grin: :grin:.

I reckon give it 6 months and they will be much more common though, like any new car really.

See one most days now. Think they are becoming popular company cars as they are always business men in them!

I guess the low CO2 rating is helping there. My company has banned all cars over 200g/ km

the way it works on our scheme is that any options are paid for over the length of the term.  i.e. if you're going to have a co car for 2 yrs, then the cost of options is spread over 2 yrs.  they effectively assume zero residual value in options.  so if you go crazy with options, then the cost of that co car goes up loads.  its basically a lease deal and I'm given a car allowance to spend.  i can spend more or less than the allowance, the difference means I either get more or less cash as salary.
