Gx3h vs gx4h - is the 4 worth £100 more pm on contract hire?

Anyone have experience of both vehicles and want to give your view on the 4s extra benefits been worth it. I drive no more than 20 miles a day so the car will be all electric use more or less!

Not got mine yet but I concluded not when I looked at options. Not overly fussed about the MMCS as I have a good sat nav anyway and will plum an iPod for music. You don't get all of the drivers "aids" on the 3h so depends how much of a value you put on them. The only thing that I was torn about was lack of electric heater and the ability to heat the car in the mornings for the short run to the station before I get to the car which would have been handy. However, from a cost perspective it will cost a fraction of the increase in lease cost on running the engine to defrost the car a couple of months of the year so decided against.

I initially looked at the 3, but I have now decided on the 4
However I would drive more than 20 miles a day.

For me the MMCS Charging/reading display is much better than the small dashboard display on the 3
Leather Seats
Sunroof
Reversing Camera
Sat Nav
Mobile App

All these was important enough for me to come to that decision.
Not ordered my Phev yet - thinking about waiting until next march which ties in with my business yearly start date.

I've not driven a 3, and I was initially going to go with that, but the lure of the extra goodies got to me and the wife said I'd be kicking myself if I didn't so I splashed out the extra for a 4h with no options. To be honest, I now think I'd have been better with a 3 and reversing beepers because I have to get close to the wall in the office car park to charge it during the day and I'm afraid of pranging it.

Posty - don't worry, if you've got the 4H, the camera is pretty reliable (despite somebody slating it on here) - I now prefer reversing into spaces as the lines and camera help so much (I've never had a camera or beepers before).
