I'm trying to work out the difference...

€24.18 (£20.86) per month on a long-term lease deal with a deposit of £2,508.43 (£2,164.90) or 1000€ down, 100€/month.

I guess it depends on what "long term" means?

As per the Ineos Grenadier thread, I guess you need people in the picture to give you an impression of size/scale.

I initially thought the same then read "at 1390mm in width...this means the driver sits only around 300mm adrift of a typical car driver."

I think the bigger issue is the top speed of 28mph when they appear to be equally targeting rural users moving from local village to local village. All such connecting roads around me are 60mph speed limit, so unless they come with a flashing beacon like the farm machinery then it becomes a dangerous proposition.

yeah, but no, but.... My thoughts were if it's such a great thing that the "LH drive" gives the benefit of not getting out in to traffic why didn't they make it "RH drive" for their market in the first place?

There's a concept that's more appropriate for a 4x4 forum:

I’d rather walk. What a horrible little thing. Unfortunately give it 25years and this is what we will all be using for transport, we won’t own it, it will just arrive at your house at a time you book and it will take you where you need to go, driverless, electric and mind numbingly boring.
