Hello, UK member here, I have been a member of the forum for some time now, back in 2015 i nearly got a 4h however due to prices and BIK i ended up ordering a C350e Merc - (but thats another story.) and i ended up getting a new Skoda Superb Estate due to waiting 12 months for the merc and...

I think the key things on the GX4 for me were HID Headlights, Sunroof, Black Leather, Electric heater, Sat Nav
