Not sure if this has been covered, but does the car come with an electric front seat?

The one at the motorexpo was a bit of nuisance to alter, especially since the wife :( *groan moan* will want a shot and compared to me shes a midget.

erm answered my own question, the hipower version comes with it as standard.

it says so in the press release.....


So it must be true....LOL

Does it?

I thought electric seats came as part of the leather/heated/electric seat £1.5k package?


Edit :- Nope - press release says

'Optional features include an electric sunroof, DVD navigation system, leather seats with seatheating and electric-adjustable driver?s seat.'

ahh your right Rob,

Im definately having a wife day.....


"Optional features include an electric sunroof, DVD navigation system, leather seats with seat heating and electric-adjustable driver’s seat. The Standard Power version can be upgraded with an optional features package that includes 18-inch aluminium wheels, 323 mm/302 mm brake disc system, automatic climate control, fog lights and the optional Bose® sound system"

so it does appear to come as part of the leather seat option

Hmmm....

Sound like we have different version.

CW007 :, "Optional features include an electric sunroof, DVD navigation system, leather seats with seat heating and electric-adjustable driver’s seat. The Standard Power version can be upgraded with an optional features package that includes 18-inch aluminium wheels, 323 mm/302 mm brake disc system, automatic climate control, fog lights and the optional Bose® sound system"

In Oz
Sunroof is not optional,
No DVD navigation.
No heating in leather seat
Electronic only driver's side only
Bose system standard in Leather pack. A$500 upgrade to MP3 player.

Sucks Auh?

As a High Power pre-order, the quote from the press pack

The Standard Power version can be upgraded with an optional features package that includes 18-inch aluminium wheels, 323 mm/302 mm brake disc system, automatic climate control, fog lights and the optional Bose® sound system"

seems to suggest that we are getting more than just xenon headlights and a 6th gear for our extra £2,000, although I thought the BOSE and Climate Control were standard to both versions.

I think the press pack is "European" as opposed to "UK". I assume the UK spec cars are not the same as the rest of Europe, hence the difference.

You are rught, also the press pack says the standard power will have 16 inch wheels, where as the UK website says 18 inch as standard.

Dissapointing, it does seem that we only get an extra 39ps, Xenon headlights and a 6th Gear. £2,000 extra indeed.....

takahashi,

why would you want heated leather seats in Oz? and apart from Sydney why would you want satnav - i thought you just followed the only road ;)

And in OZ from the last time i drove from Syndey -> Cairns the speed limit is 100km/h and the so called main A class roads are what we would call a b with passing places. Would you better of with a tractor?

Well, seeing as Xenon lights are usually about a £700 or so option then we must be paying not much over £1000 for the extra 39hp. Damn good value I would have thought. In fact if they can find another 39hp from somewhere I'll happily give them another grand....

Dont forget the alloy pedal set!

And the gearing on the 6 speed box is better too :)

Sorry, just realised you were probably being ironic (I'm a bit slow this morning :o ).

Yeah I just follow the car in front of me -- that is what I told my wife after fanging my car after work ;)
