I would say drive the 180 (which is what i have), if your are happy with that go with it, if you would like more punch then try the 240 if that still doesn't float your boat as it were then try the 3ltr. No rush go with what makes best financial sense to you. I have the ICT and to be fair im reasona...

Sorry you've given up on the F Pace Andy think i would have done the same, but good luck with your new BMW. Hope you have many miles trouble free motoring mate.

No worries Keith, i still forget 12 months on

My early Fpace only has 3g connectivity, so I get slower data. Also dealer tells me voice control of navigation does not apply to my early car... Hence my lower tax is clearly merited. Not sure updating car to solve these is worth the extra tax. Sorry but that has nothing to do with the level of ro...

This measure reforms Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for cars first registered from 1 April 2017 onwards. First Year Rates (FYRs) of VED will vary according to the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of the vehicle. A flat Standard Rate (SR) of £140 will apply in all subsequent years, except for zero-emission...

I got a similar letter yesterday and wasn’t shocked to be fair. My previous Range Rover was £500 pa and as another post said, this is the way expensive cars are taxed.
