Hey!

Just got this on Thursday, 7800 miles and drives sweet as a nut. Loving the sounds!

Welcome and a lovely example. To me the sweet spot of the range and a 14 plate makes an affordable experience

Hey!

Thanks a lot!

It's a lovely drive and the sound has got me hooked, love the up-shifts and the pops and cracks from the exhaust.

The I-Pace is a funny one really, it feels faster than the F-Pace in a straight line and even handles pretty well as its AWD. BUT it is a bit numb. No sound and only 1 forward gear.

It is cheap to run though, I think charging at home it only costs me about £6 for a full charge that will do 230 miles. I also have solar panels fitted on my house and a very cheap tariff at night, about 6p per k/w. In many ways its the cheapest way to get around, the only issue is the £66k price tag to buy one. Have to admit I got mine under a business lease and it makes sense as I do 25000 miles a year.

Anyone from Norfolk on here that has an F-Type?

I'm not sure about where to get mine serviced? It's had 10 services in 7500 miles and isn't due until March but I've been told to avoid the main dealers as they quiet it down with a software update or something like that?

Cheers

That's weird,

I have some interim services from a garage in the history, in Bolton. I think it was private plated for those though.

I will have a look through and report back, there is definitely more than 4 though 100%.
