Nice that you can get a "manual" in the Premium... :goodjob:

If this was back in July when I ordered my style nav I would have just gone for this version!

How much you reckon I would get a trade in for the style nav in exchange for the premium? Ive done 5000miles already since July 12.

I hate to say it, but they'll screw you on the way in if you trade now. You'd be better off IMO putting the extra funds into doing upgrades to yours.

i was in the process of changing the wheels anyway from 16inch to either 17 (official ones) or the veloster sport ones (18s) but wasnt sure which size to go far, that'll be about £900 to start with. I suppose I wasnt really bothered about leather anyway (cold in winter, hot in summer!) and the other changes to the spec are just cosmetic i suppose.

I fail to see why the do not offer xenon headlamps in the UK premium model like in the aussie model but can justify leather. To be more people in this segment with a hatchback would have xenon lamps rather than leather seats?

To satisfy your curiosity, why not go back to the dealership and get a change-over price and then you'll at least know where you stand.
I think you'll find that you're better off with what you've got given that you've owned it from new and only done 5,000 miles.
I don't know what it's like over there, but in Australia my experience has actually been the opposite with regards to leather.
After the initial shock of getting into a cold or a hot car and sitting on the seats, I find that good quality leather is the opposite of vinyl and is cool in summer (better than cloth) and warm in winter.

I agree and I always get a bit disappointed that certain things aren't offered in different markets, such a manual Premium in Australia.
I think of the old days when you could pick a car and option it up to whatever level you wanted to. I think that system was much better than the "one size fits all" approach of car manufacturers today.

The Neoprene seat covers are better than the velour (I kept getting zapped in the rental - but not in ours)  :D

I just wished the were a bit tighter fit (I like a tight fit) :goodjob:
