Hi, I have a limited budget and was wondering if you had the choice would you go for leather (brown my preferred choice) or the xenon headlights. I am looking at the sport model.
Thanks for all the comments, the leather looks really good- especially in the brochure, but I have not seen any real life or pics of the Brown leather so it may not look as good. Need to do the sums on Alcantara (Grey or Black!!!) and Xenon headlights, may need to drop the reversing camera.

I saw the same article and it's about time.
The police need to stop taking the easy option of setting up speed traps and fining everyone doing 31 in a 30 and instead start concentrating on general driving standards.
Camp out on roundabouts instead and give everyone who cuts across lanes without indicating a fixed penalty. They'll soon get the message!
Overtaking on the left isn't a problem in itself, it's the issue of changing to it.
At present, far too many people will pull into a nearside lane without looking, assuming that nothing will be coming up in that lane faster than they're going. That obviously isn't the case if you allow overtaking on the left. It'd cause a huge number of accidents until everyone was used to it.
With regards to driving standards, the items in the papers recently about the police being giving the powers fine 'middle lane hogers' and 'mobile phone users' with £100 on-the-spot files would be OK if there were ever any poilce around on the motorway in the first place.

Problem at present is that people do not expect to be passed on the inside as the rules say you should not but once allowed people would be more aware and would look out for it or move over sooner.
I think if it were introduced there would be some initial getting used to it and perhaps a short term spike in accidents but in medium and long term it would reduce the total number of accidents.

I disagree - having reverse parallel parked my car with a glider trailer attached before now, and parallel parking every day at work, I have no problem doing these, but if you can use technology to make it easier, less likely to hit a small child (as happened at some county show or something last week - killed them), less likely to hit a post you didn't see, or whatever, then it's worth going for. You'll notice I have both that and the park assist on my car, I intend to use them, and I'm not going to be bothered by anyone with the attitude of "people shouldn't have technology to help themselves because it's not manly enough" - all Luddites who I'm sure would be the first to complain as soon as you give them a car that needs to be hand cranked, no power steering etc
Which option is that? I must have already added it when I came to putting the reversing camera on as it didn't make me choose anything else
