Colour?  Come on, most important part and the only question a woman will ever ask about a car!

MILANO RED

Staying with the 17" alloys till I see what the mpg is like

Ah red, nice, perfect colour if you ask me.

I have 17 inch alloys on the Primera, does it affect the MPG by much then?

Ali

My OH doesn't like red cars but she was out-voted

Apparently bigger wheels = less mpg, and at £800+ to upgrade I'm not willing to test the theory

£800?  Ouch!

I will keep the forum updated!

Thanks for your helpful reports so far,

Hi,

I ordered a new CRV ES on Tuesday, should get it for the 1st March !

Did you get free insurance as stated ? No mention by the dealer when i purchased mine.  

There is no mention of free insurance at any of the dealers around here  

You can save a load by not having the Diamondbright treatment if it's offered.  If you really want it you can do it yourself at a tiny fraction of the cost.  I had some for a Ford focus in 2002 and it cost me £85, the Honda Dealer was trying to sell me the same thing for £300.  I still have some from the first time and my OH has some left from her car.  A relative of ours who works for a dealer says it costs them about £30 for the whole package which includes the treatment, carrier, polish etc.  You can usually get some from ebay.  I found this link while I was researching it which you may find useful  http://weblog.brunton.org.uk/reviews/archives/products_4_stars/jewelultra_diam.html

I hope you enjoy your new car - I know I will.
