Low Spec XV

[Dene]

Just received our low spec XV, looses reverse camera, multi function display, dual climate control, sunroof and xenons ( must still check on the xenons ) and R 36000 off the price so the manual comes in at R 299 000.

Yes, ours has also just arrived, and I'm hoping to wiggle out of my Fiat 500 Company car and into the XV.

I'm currently living without reverse camera and MFD, so I'm sure I would survive! :p

No no, say it isn't so. You cant de-spec the car to R299k It be reduced.

Now its still overpriced.

I don't mind losing all the extras, but to lose R299 000! :p

I disagree Steve - it is still bloody well specced - rather a n XV at 299 than a FWD Jeep Compass 2 litre for the same price - there's just no comparison.

Remember I drive both cars daily and the XV makes  the Jeep look terrible.

The XV was overpriced to start with for such a niche vehicle. If you loose all the goodies, you have a bare shell. Then you just as well buy a Polo Vivo


The Forester X (new) makes a much stronger argument now.
