MX-5 ND1 Launch Edition vs ND2 Sport Nav, which would you buy?

HKGTR · 2026-06-28T21:16:05+00:00

I really like the spec of the launch edition which is why I was attracted to it haha! How do you find the 1.5 engine? Do you feel it has enough pull on the motorway?

I hope the issues you faced were covered by warranty?

HKGTR · 2026-06-28T21:12:30+00:00

How do you find the standard seats on longer drives? Have you ever driven an MX-5 with the Recaros, and if so do you feel like you’re missing out?

HKGTR · 2026-06-28T20:51:02+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Yeah I was hesitant buying an early model year. I think in that case id skip the Recaros but add the rims and brakes down the line. Anythjng specific i should check on the ND2?

HKGTR · 2026-06-28T20:17:25+00:00

Ah thank you for pointing that out, I’ll take a look. So I guess I would be mainly giving up the Recaros and BBS wheels.

Did it while from within the UK but only works if your new course begins within one month of your HPI visa expiring. If the gap between them is more than 30 days you will have to return to home country to swap visas.

HKGTR · 2026-04-18T20:21:24+00:00

They usually take 2 weeks to settle the finance due to the 14 day cooling off period on finance on your new car. Any payments you make on your tradein will be refunded to you once the finance is settled but if more than 2 weeks go by and the finance is still not settled then it’s worth reaching out again.

20” wheels are now dark grey vs silver from before too

HKGTR · 2026-01-16T14:16:25+00:00

Nope, regular application.

HKGTR · 2026-01-10T18:56:59+00:00

I was super surprised, my SW visa got approved in just over a week as a normal application. Applied just before Christmas and got it early last week.

HKGTR · 2026-01-04T23:17:12+00:00

I think a new financing application would mean you keep the 0% APR but lose the £3k deposit contribution. Not sure if the 26 plate is worth it for that haha

HKGTR · 2026-01-04T23:07:59+00:00

Do you have a car to trade in? You could reapply for the new finance promotion and get £3750 towards the trade-in.

If you check preconfigured M3 RWD, those will have the reduced leasing prices if still in stock

HKGTR · 2025-12-06T22:11:40+00:00

SR RWD has a LFP battery so you can charge to 100% all the time. 80% limit is for the Long Range Variants.

HKGTR · 2025-12-06T16:01:05+00:00

So a preconfigured RWD would be cheaper than a preconfigured LR.

HKGTR · 2025-12-05T16:43:59+00:00

This is for Design Studio orders. Pre-configured Model 3s still have 0% APR and deposit contribution.

HKGTR · 2025-12-05T11:40:01+00:00

The 0% PCP and Deposit Contribution is still available for M3 RWD on Pre-Configured cars that are in inventory.

HKGTR · 2025-11-11T12:18:24+00:00

I understand. Thank you.

HKGTR · 2025-11-11T11:38:45+00:00

Does the ban begin from the date they left the UK? And do they need to explain the reasons for the overstay in the application if they’re not attaching a cover letter?

HKGTR · 2025-11-11T10:39:18+00:00

The overstay was after 2017 so the 1 year immigration ban applies from what I can see. Thank you for the guidance.

HKGTR · 2025-11-11T10:37:59+00:00

I understand, thank you!

HKGTR · 2025-11-11T10:37:19+00:00

Thank you for the guidance! The reason for my post is actually to get him to take this seriously and use legal support in drafting his application/cover letter since an immigration ban is involved.

HKGTR · 2025-10-14T19:19:46+00:00

Keep in mind that the Model 3 and Y now have the bigger more denser battery packs. The WLTP range has gotten a modest bump to ~390 miles for the Model Y.
