Come on guys. You know the only reason you have the LE is because you could not pull together the extra £500 for the Plus!

Seriously though, I like the LE, particularly in Chrono Grey - had I seen this colour when looking for a coupe I would probably now be driving an LE.

Plus wheels are in a totally different league though and the interior is, IMHO, better.

Why do LE owners always feel the need to defend their cars, is it some kind of minority complex? laugh

But seriously, I love both. The LE for the loud Italian style (Italians aren't subtle anyway!) and the plus for the more subtle stylish touches.

I'm not defending the car, I'm defending the wheels! And I wouldn't say its just LE owners anyway!

That car in the link looks absolutely awesome. I'm even more in love with the Coupe than I was before. thank you everyone for your kind and funny advice. If money permits, (and I can stay patient) it will be a mint Plus for me I think....but either way I wont go wrong.

When I see one I want to view, is there any chance of getting some help re viewing? The wisdom of an owner is invaluable.

Have a look at the members willing to view cars section.

If its in SE London or North Kent I will come along with you (I'm knowledgeable ish, but not massively technical).

Forget the harsh words from the owners of the less classy LE. The Plus is what you need.

A Plus or an LE will retain its value more, so I would definately get one over a standard one if I had the money and was in the market.

But please, don't get hung up on 80k.....

I always thought you knew your stuff eldinho, but your credibility has just dropped significantly.

Admin can we have a poll:

"Given the choice I would prefer:
(i) a Plus;
(ii) an LE"

Would be interested to see the view of non-LE or plus owners on this one as well....

fwiw i chose a plus as, at my advanced age, i didn't think the extravagant interior of the LE was appropriate and i stand by my decision. i love the car.

having said that i think the LE is also a special car and if i was sedici or eldinho's ages i'd deffo have gone for one.

maybe the whole thing is age related, in that the plus appears classier (to me!) as it's a little understated.

certainly at auto italia recently, sedici's and the black one that was for sale (£6.4k?) looked absolutely stunning.... cool

How old are you Proccy?

You drive a Plus cjh, which says everything one needs to know about both your confidence, intelligence and manhood.

To a plus owner "sexy underwear" consists of the grey range from BHS. tongue

To an LE driver "sexy underwear" consists of an Orange and a Plastic Bag. laugh

LE all the way, its a car that others comment on.

for £5000 i could be tempted to get rid of my near mint plus in the super rare broom yellow.

if it were me to buy another i'd have the LE because they are cheaper and i really love the red and black leather
