Yup. SEAT used to do an OVNI yellow and what it should have been called was HarvestBugHell

Will be following this thread closely now that these are close to delivery. We did consider ordering one but then backed off when we heard that the range figures might not be what was being quoted back when we saw the demo model at Goodwood.
will be very interested to hear owners early experiences.

FWIW I quite like the yellow

i reckon driving like a tool you'll get 100 miles when it's new

Honda warranty the battery - 8yrs / 100k for 70% (which is 70 miles driving like Rog on speed?)

If they are thinking ahead the battery pack will be a removable / changeable / upgradeable one. IF.

It needed a bit of tlc to return to its low miles minty unicorn status but glad it went quickly

Drove my NA one down to Honda the other day, still fantastic with just a bit of fruit added to the zorst for my deaf ears

Race against time to sort out some work for me ATM. Would like something sorted for Sept but we will see. I stayed with 17s as that is all I have driven and I liked. Don't care that much about range or I guess I'd buy something else

different car entirely but I like the break from the norm in this e.. reminds me of some older Hondas

Confirmed my order has been modified to 16" wheels so the drive like Miss Daisy long range trip to Sevenoaks has a slightly better chance of success.

Actually I quite like the look of them in the few pics I can find. No embellishments sort of plain dark disc.

Looks a bit like what you get when a wheel cap is missing/lost.

Hopefully a more compliant gentler ride

Frank Stephenson seems really taken with the design - he has a channel on PropagandaTube.

And he's pretty good at city cars.

he's a character.. the rant about retro was funny

So, here you go! It's a beautifully considered, universally loveable car that looks like a car and not an angry transformer, therefore I LOVE it! Watch the video to get a more in-depth breakdown.

10/10
meanwhile a dealer (not that kind i hope?) wants the M3 so that will shuffle off next week at a little premium to Honda's offer.

it lost £15k depreciation in 8 years so not bad really, given it was 3.5yrs/16k miles old when i bought. i didnt do many miles and didnt enjoy the crap clutch, notchy gearbox and fat arse but it can munch miles (miles which i dont do) and burn prolific amounts of cash and fuel
