Had a go in this earlier. We really enjoyed it tbf. The back seats are pretty cramped but apart from that it was pretty good. Would be an ideal second car.

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.

Now seen a Blue one in person and I really like it. I think being a daily/run about I like that it's a bit understated.

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.

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… 🤔 🤣

Spotted the blue one again this morning and it really didn't look that big in traffic. I don't want to see one up close because I know I'll want one then😂.

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. 💦😆

Spotted my first one over the weekend. I wasn't a fan of their choice of alloy (reminded me of some Halfrauds/Wolfrace type wheels from the early 2000's) but it looked pretty cool. Bigger than I'd perhaps expected, too.

Shite photo, sorry:

Spotted my first today... and second! Both white, which, I don't think is going to be the best colour for them. Looked quite plain really. Looking forward to seeing a green or yellow one.
