Spec wise it's very similar to our 2016 car (which is an optioned up Momentum).
The Nappa leather is a brilliant addition in blond, and really adds to the quality feel of the car.
Other options all good. No middle seat booster - if you have younger kids, that's not great.
I think that one is old enough to have the lesser range from the battery. The T8 only makes sense (IMO) if most of your daily mileage can be done in full electric mode. Otherwise the added cost of the car versus a comparable other powertrain is very unlikely to pay for itself.
Subjective...but those wheels are awful. Ours has 20" wheels. I wouldn't want one with anything bigger (irrespective of design).

Good summary, thanks......I have a V90 Inscp. Pro. blond ventilated Nappa leather etc.
It is the smaller battery and via the app I can see the I can mop up most of my local journeys even with a small battery.
No small kids involved. Mine has 21" 10 spokes and that's as big as I want, although this has air suspension etc. Maybe we could swap wheels over........They've offered me 28K against this so to find 21K.

Interested reading this as currently speccing one and liked the look of the 22’s, I take it the 20’s the ride isn’t the greatest which is where the recommendation comes from not to go bigger?The Nappa leather is a brilliant addition in blond, and really adds to the quality feel of the car.

The ride's pretty good, but can get a little crashy over the worst of our b roads. I wouldn't want worse and the car doesn't need it IMO.
I also had to buy a new rim recently (pot hole damage) and if they go up in price with rim size, you definitely don't want bigger!
If your use is well surfaced roads, bigger wheels would probably be OK.
Note ours does not have air suspension.
