We’ve paid £14000 under the list price and this is not pre registered just a build order that had already been placed. Also got them to throw in some extra bits we wanted. Push them hard enough you’ll always get a good deal.

I agree, I settled on the EPace in the end (after months of convertible versus SUV debate!) they did a great deal also & I pick it up in March, it was always the one my heart kept drawing me to.

Here’s to our shiny new black secret service SUVs 😂😂

Luckily there is only one multi storey around here that we’d actually use but it also has a very large ground level outdoor parking area.

That said I don’t think I’ve parked there since we’ve had the A5 as parking charges are now so high that it’s easier and cheaper to jump on the bus if I had to go there.

First new plate of the decade

I used to have one , and i grew to hate it . Parking was often an issue , getting it out of the space was usually worse
I live in a town with very small car parking spaces and a million mini roundabouts , so that didnt help . I needed a new set of tyres every year at £1000.00 ( or near enough )
I had driven large cars for many years , I now drive a Toyota Aygo and love it !

And the Alloy wheels , just from parking alongside the kerb

We live just outside London and everywhere is very busy. Parking spaces can be hard to find at supermarkets and shopping centres and I wonder if having such a big car will make it even harder to find spaces that are big enough.

I’m guessing you liked it if you’ve now gone for the Q8?

I think you are allowed to park in disabled bays and use two spaces when you own that car

Does your driver find it easy though

I’m not that bad! The SQ8 has diamond cut alloys so I have taken out cover on them

Well bearing in mind it’s his job I’d sack him if he didn’t
