Do have a good read of the brochure, one of my must haves was black headlining. For me it saves a dated looking interior looking it’s age

Quick Q. How do I know if I have lane assist? I have all the things as part of that "pack", it would be odd if they specced them independently without Lane Assist!
I guess you'll see it in the menu options:

If the car has V spokes ask if they have been refurbished. Depending on previous damage and how much has been machined off you can only do them 2 or maybe 3 times. Probably applies to rotors too.

For information, V spokes were standard wheel with sport pack otherwise they were an option.

Pointless and intrusive - possibly dangerous! But I quite like the "Side Assist" on my car. Wouldn't have ordered it - but it's strangely useful in your peripheral vision!

I would agree it isn't great but it did save my bacon driving back from a particularly heavy Le Mans.

I have side assist on my Supra, thought it was a gimmick but I do quite like it now.
