I haven't even thought about colour scheme yet I may leave that to my wife she has a better eye then me but we will probably go for the smoother covers that are easier to wipe down rather than the felt type material .. because of the boys and me
tbh I cant even remember the demo unit I think my brain is frazzled the whole experience was a bit of a blur
Yes, the Aero has a bottom trim and a very slightly different grille on the front. Quite subtle, but IMHO it looks a little more muscular. I am sure there are peeps on here with more knowledge that could provide a much better description of the differences between the two - this is the only one i can spot thus far....

We too are going for the smoother covers..we have a large greyhound to fit in and don't fancy hoovering dog hair every 5 minutes !

Glad that you aren't the only one suffering from brain fry !! :lol:

Thanks Haydn - we have read a lot about the cooling system and Phil will be fitting a coolant alarm for us - one of yours i expect ! :-) We went for the V6 for the LPG option - but this will be an addition later on - we will mainly be using it as a weekender for the foreseeable, so for the moment not too much of an issue - although avg 28mpg on motorway long trips will probably have us considering it sooner rather than later !. We'll need to source a good Bongo garage locally (Bristol area if you know/recommend any ?) for ongoing maintenance/servicing. In the meantime, will check out the youtube video - thanks for the tip :)
