Well, here it is immediately prior to being driven out of the showroom by a very nervous wife. Delivered to schedule with all the bits added. Unsurprisingly 19mpg on the 10 mile drive home through rush hour traffic, can only get better as the miles are added.
Will need to go back in due course to get a mark removed from the rear bumper and yet another dealer fails the "tyre pressure" test. It is standard practice to over inflate the tyres on new cars prior to shipping from the factory. Unfortunately experience has shown over the years that many dealerships fail to then deflate the tyres to the correct pressure upon collection. Having bounced our way home over numerous speed humps a quick check showed all 4 tyres to be over inflated by 5psi against the recommended pressures on the door. Tomorrow's journey should be a little smoother
Early impressions are very good. Need to get the software updated
Thought I would message you as I recognised the dealership ( I think ) - that's exactly where mine was parked when I picked her up - that's Fish Brothers am I right ??

You are absolutely correct in recognising the dealership, Nick. Nice touch picking it up from inside the showroom and with a message welcoming my wife and congratulating her on her choice.
We are about 4 miles west of RWB in what is allegedly England's longest village
It's bizarre really, depending upon which dealer you buy from in Swindon you will get either a W* or R* plate! I guess we are right on the border. In this instance it was either RW or RV.
Managed to pick up my new one on Tuesday before the lock down.
Chose one from stock an Iconic in Iron Blue. Traded in my 3 year old Captur that I had no problems with and started another PCP.
Very impressed with the Mark 2 and itching to take it for a decent drive at some point when allowed.
Finished apart from new seat covers and mats to go in...... smile_big:
No small amount of work, although it doesn't look like much.... I ended up spraying ALL the external black plastic satin black (bumpers, wheel arches, doors, the lot!) - wipe over with a damp cloth and it comes up like new...
