So the age old battle lol!

Question being:

Do any owners of the a LE wish they'd went for a Plus or do any Plus owners wish they'd went for an LE?

Discuss ...... (aka handbags at dawn! laugh )

As a Plus owner it was my model of choice - when i bought it i could have had an LE but didn't fancy it. Now I have 2 coupes I'd consider one as my second coupe instead of this standard one

See as a fellow plus owner I made a choice of a Plus. However I think i gave into my carving as when I had 20VT6 I wanted a plus.

However gradually I've adopted some LE mods, anthracite wheels , filler cap etc. If I'm 100% honest, I must admit I like the red and black leather too blush

I might as well stick my head above the parapit, personally, the LE is like that extra mature Marmite they do. If you like a Marmite car with zing then the LE's for you. Sure the interior is pretty loud, but that's what "WE" see whilst driving. So it feels more special than a bit of red thread on standard black leather. It lightens the darkness of a black interior. Plus, it comes in more unique looking colours than a Plus. That's just my personal opinion wink

Of all the shows I've been to over 5 years, I don't think I've ever heard members of the public recoil from the interior, it's only fellow owners that can't abide the colour combo wink

Must admit I think the interior goes well, the coupe isn't exactley a subtle car in the 1st place.

As a Plus owner...the LE interior is gash, nothing else to say. It's as dated as tartan cloth..ideal if you feel a kiddie feeler is a fashion icon.

As for the Plus, it has a 6 speed box. It's the one thing that, IMO, lifts the Plus above the 20VT. Although the skirts connect the front and rear of the car.

And I don't think any of them are going to be a classic for a long time, if at all.

Fair comment, although I didn't mean to infer only the Plus had the 6 speeder or skirts..I would also add I prefer the LE fuel cap (I have one on my Plus) and would go for the LE Anthracite on my wheels. It goes REALLY well with Electric Blue! The Plus wheels are a definite improvement on 20VT wheels.
