And the fact that the panel behind the fold down rear centre armrest opens for carrying long stuff. Brought four 1.8 metre planks of wood home from B&Q this evening.

Not advised if you are resting drinks on it at the time though

Driver's side cup were originally fitted but later removed because it was thought that they would impede the drivers left leg. They can be obtained but usually command a high price. Could be cheaper on some European sites, where of course they are the passenger side, but even they are catching on due to their rarity in the UK. I'm sure someone will be along to tell us when driver's side cup holders ceased to be fitted.

Mine has a female grumph regularly installed on the passenger seat, although quite annoying this is easy to remove

Cup holders - one in the passenger side of the dash, two cup "flat spots" inside the glovebox, depending on the trim, rear cupholders are inside the rear seat (middle), and a drivers side cupholder in the console is a rare beast.
You're absolutely right! I just checked and the drivers window is one shot up and down! I thought it didn't have because I was expecting 2 clicks like my ZS, first click to lower and second click to 1 shot

Ahhh, much happier now! Thanks

The hinged plastic lift handle on the carpet base of the saloon boot can be hooked into place over the rubber boot edge liner, so that if accessing the spare wheel well, the boot floor will stay up without being held up with an extra hand.

It only really works though if the hinge of your plastic boot carpet handle isn't too floppy
