I have no idea what mine costs as we have 15 cars on a self administered fleet. So I just stuck it on there.
I'm not surprised it costs more than a Porsche though. Aluminium panels vs. Steel with limited spares network and unknown pricing (I expect a wing for an S to be expensive though)
With regard what constitutes poverty spec, technology package is mandatory in my view. 3g isn't good enough for navigation, and parking sensors require it, and I agree with Jon, parking sensors are a must. Getting it into parking bays without grazing the front bumper would be very difficult. This is coming from someone that drove a double cab pickup for the last 3 years!
I also thought I'd need foglights for the aesthetics, I don't like cars that have a blanking plate where fogs should live. Fortunately technology package gives you cornering lights in this space, so fogs are extremely questionable in my view.
Never seen one with cloth trim, but I think it would look out of place. There is such a simplicity in the cabin it relies on the touch screen and high quality components to lift the feel.
I've gone for the tan interior, which really looks ace, and better than the online view which makes it look a bit orange. Keeping it like that is going to take a determined effort though.(I lack Jon's OCD gene)
My old car had a sunroof, and the blind was permanently shut, so panoramic roof seemed pointless.Besides I have a convertible for weekends
All in mine came to a shade over £55k after the grant. Truly poverty spec 60 model though.
