Rear bench seat

I would like to think that an order update would not have removed the two seat option if your order was showing it (but hey, it's anyones guess!)

True, it's a worry though (but not a deal breaker), so I'll chase it up again tomorrow and hopefully get a definative answer.

I was really annoyed my order had suddenly changed to the bench seat, but after sleeping on it for a couple of days I'm now actually very glad.

I take it that with the two seat option the leather bit in-between the two seats is just for show, and there is no 3rd seat belt there?

the two seat option doesn't have any hidden 3rd set of belts, it's strictly 2 in the back.

I thought I'd selected a three seat rear (in a coupe) as a NCO but it looks as though I'll just be getting 2... Not sure whether it was an issue with the online configurator or due to the changes, but I rarely need to have 5 in the car anyway so it shouldn't be too big a deal. I think it would be a little cramped in the back with 3 anyway?

That is quite a big issue if you're expecting the bench and need it. If you don't mind me asking how did you find out?

Errr - can't really remember! I think I saw something on here about the change so asked the dealer when I popped in to have a look at their launch cars at the weekend. He found the original printout they got from t'internet (I don't really remember but think I clicked a button which said something like email my spec to a dealer) and it says 2 rear seats. As I say I rarely need to carry more than 3 or 4 and most of the time it's just me in the car, so I could probably live with it, although I know I clicked the button for a rear bench seat! (my current car is a 4 seater so does occasionally limit me)

I seriously considered contacting Lookers Park Royal recently to see if they could 'adopt' my order from my current dealer here in Sheffield. But I suspect that woudn't have been allowed - at least without affecting my delivery date.

I also seem to have a lack of information from Guy Salmon in Sheffield when I asked about adding surround cameras - "not sure if that is possible - it will delay your delivery date"
