Thanks both
2.2 just isn't enough, and that's before I start on toys as I spend far too much time in it to go that low on spec.
Are the Elite toys really that important?
Do you drive around playing with the electric seats/memory?
The auto dipping mirror is nice to have, but hardly essential. Much like the auto levelling headlamps. I bought an Elite because I wanted a 3.0l and preferably leather, and found a decent one locally; otherwise I'd have been perfectly happy with a lower spec.
Also a big yes
Electric mirrors/seats- 'er indoors drives it a lot
Auto-dip mirror because I'm in essex where all the chavs drive with full beam & fogs
Headlamps- i don't notice them work, so they must be ok
Leather- as it's a work car I get in it rather dirty a lot, it's easier to clean than cloth
I like the sound of the bose, not one for retro fit ICE
And agreed, the GPS is so laborious to program, not used it since first try, tomtom for me
