Some Australian c photos

Thought it was about time. I may have focused on my i-tech's rear spoiler a bit.

 

Thanks!

Yes, that's my favourite image too... in fact I have had that imagined in my head since I got the car and I finally had the chance tonight to get out and do it! I love urban night photography but haven't done any in ages. The c is crying out for it though, so now I have to plan a few more.

 

We have two trim levels - our base model has the same rear spoiler as in the US and the i-tech model has this spoiler as standard. Strangely the marketing materials just say "larger" and only show it in side profile, making it appear to only be a subtle difference. As I test drove a base model, I didn't fully appreciate it until the day I picked if up - a pleasant surprise.

The i-tech also has self-levelling LED headlights with washers. I realised later that one of the photos also shows the reversing camera, which is standard on both trim levels here.

I've got no customisations - the only thing not standard issue is the floor mats!

 

Wait... did you forget the low-profile rear headrests?

For what it's worth we also have power fold-in mirrors.

So far the things I know we don't have are:

• Daytime Running Lights
• Moonroof option
• Heated outside mirrors
• Heated seats
• 16" wheel option
• No Entune/Satellite radio (but we don't get these sort of services)
• No buttons on the steering wheel for voice control or Bluetooth on/off hook. There's a physical button on the head unit for voice control and on/off hook are on screen buttons.
• Seat-cushion air bags (so we have a total of 7 air bags instead of 9)
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
• Vehicle Proximity Notification System (oh wait, that's good )
• Passenger Airbag On/Off warning light (oops, also good )

The heated items probably make little sense in our climate, but the moonroof certainly would have been worth considering. The navigation system we get isn't particularly new and - shockingly - the maps are out of date, from 2010, with no way to update them - legal or otherwise (so I'm not giving away my TomTom just yet).

We also pay more for ours.

 

A quick addition today... a view under the cargo area with the full size spare alloy and no foam spacer bits. I don't think the umbrella would actually fit there, that's just where it fell when I removed the cover. The fact that this is all I have in the car other than myself most of the time is one of the reasons I bought the c over the liftback.

When I was picking up the car and told the dealer I was going to check for the jack, he started looking for it here and actually removed the cover above the right wheel arch before I dragged him around the side of the car to show him how to find it.

 

I keep meaning to take photos of the inside but invariably I just end up driving instead.
