How easy is it to get in and out of (the front mainly)?
Is it quite low or not too bad. My parents have a mini and want something easier to get in and out of and I reckon this could be ideal.

I wouldn't say it was low. Even with the seats at their lowest position, you still sit pretty high. Easy to get in and out of.

Bonjour! 🥖🤩
3 months from ordering felt like an eternity but finally we here. Love it so far! Feels like great fun to drive from the 30 miles I've done. Doesn't feel noticeably heavy, and if it weren't for the lack of the engine noise it wouldn't obviously be an electric car. Will see how it does on the motorway when it comes on its' first commute tomorrow.

Got an email yesterday saying they want to use mine as a development mule which is great, but they can’t do anything until August…. 😭

Looks great in yellow that😎
Hope you are doing the wheels a different colour! 😉
What's happening to the old car?

Probably not the wheels, there will be some other changes though 💜
Moe, she’s going to be semi retired for the duration of the lease of the R5 to receive some serious TLC. 218k has taken its toll on her so will take some time to bring her back to full fitness!
Unless someone offers me a ludicrously large amount of money for her… 🤔 🤣

So for any nerds out there like me that like these kind of things, it looks like it'll cost around £3 per day in electricity for my 76-mile round trip commute (mostly on the M1). My previous daily was an Up! Gti which was efficient (55-60 mpg) on the same journey, but that worked out at around £8.50 per day in fuel.
Cost saving wasn't the reason I got one, but it's a nice by-product of 5 ownership.
Still further savings to be made when I switch to an even cheaper overnight tariff.

That's a good aside to ownership 👍. But @MarkCup is going to have to see a spreadsheet to tip him over the edge. 💦😆
