Heated seats are an option incredibly but on a PCP they add about £200 to the final value therefore the cost is just over £100 ------------- really why not just include them on a 60k car. Likewise reversing camera, loads of run of the mill cars have these standard now.

50d road tested in autocar this week

Haven't read it full yet but in summary it only got 3.5 stars and placed in 3rd place

Beaten (I'm not surprised) by the cayenne s diesel (v8) with 4 stars and the RRS V8 diesel (the only engine to buy if you must go to the dirty pumps) with 4.5 stars.

You guys reading the review properly?  They test the lesser powered TDV6 and give it 4.5 stars.  Our car on order is the more powerful SDV6 in Autobiography trim.

I'm not greedy. 4.5 stars is enough.
