As a newly joined member to the forum, I will proceed with this little preamble to tell you how I arrived here.
This past while back I have been looking out for a premium compact SUV, and to date I have looked at the Q3, X1, GLA and as a wild card I threw in the Peugeot 3008, this essentially had been the status quo these past many months. Collecting brochures, getting bored listening to all the sales jargon et al, it was getting somewhat painful and frustrating as I just wanted to chat to knowledgeable technical persona, as I'm a confirmed petrol head myself, eventually it then became so much easier to just download and view the literature at home, joined the online forums and chatted to other likeminded people….what a real pleasure.
Then all of a sudden there did appear a new kid (cub) on the block so to speak, so lo and behold this game changer threw all my carefully connived previous plans in to total disarray, problem it sure was, but a nice to have problem, nice in terms of the sheer beauty of the product, beauty however is more than skin deep, so the driving force, luxury interior and on-board controls just added to the initial euphoria. The not so nice aspect of my problem was a frantic search of my piggy bank which consisted of numerous coins, wholly insufficient to make up the difference between the previously budgeted for pack, and this exquisite and wonderful but considerably more expensive E-Pace.
So here I 'am, having arrived right here on the forum….!!!!!...Hello everyone.
