Just Ordered my Pure but still need opinions

Hi there i have just placed my order for a 5dr Pure TD4 in Red but i am still debating the interior colour. Personally i do not want Black so my choice is between the other 2. Am i right in thinking the Espresso just would not go with Red even though i like it so would the silver one be the choice?

Also i am thinking of the following option:-
20" Alloys
Panaramic Roof
Fog Lights

Any opionons? i am on a tight budget so cant just opt for every option but may be able to stretch to a couple more if need be.

Been in a Evoque with a panoramic roof and I think it is a "must have". The rest I could take or leave but the roof makes a massive difference.

RE: Just Ordered my Pure but still need opinions

I think you have gone for the best options visually and will also help come sale time. I agree pan roof is a must as are the fogs.

I'd go for black interior personally but would have though that either of the light colours would go with red.

I've gone for both however personally wasn't bothered about privacy but wife and kids liked it, but felt the extra40 bhp of the SD4 worth the extra, but as has been said don't think there's much between them and it's also down to budget.

1.3 sec quicker 0-60 is a pretty big difference i would say I am just worried if i got the TD4 would i be wishing i went for a bit more power???

I thought the extra cost was worth it, And I like the knowledge of having that extra power if needed.
It's also the newer engine I believe.

RE: Just Ordered my Pure but still need opinions

I'd go with the black interior. It looks great with red.

Privacy glass looks good, and didn't seem too dark when sitting inside (with panoramic roof)

The fog lights improve how it looks, a lot, I think. (Even if you'll probably only use them once every few years).

Personally I'm sticking with 18" alloys as the ride quality will be better.

The panoramic roof is fantastic (for the back seat passengers).

Other options? Xenon lights are a revelation if you do any night time driving (and you get the nice LED daytime lights too, if that matters to you).
