All this time I thought I had a Vogue, turns out its an HSE (Insurance searches and Microcat verified) - no badge on the boot!

Guy who sold it told me it was a Vogue and the the spec (other than no sunroof, no heated steering wheel, and no voice comms working) seems upto Vogue spec.

Anyway, what am I missing out on in an '02 HSE that was on the Vogue? .

it should be on your v5 what spec the car is ?

so yours is a hse with most vogue options then..

Sunroof etc is standard on a Vogue so its easy to tell....

the main things are

seats are different
rears are heated
sunroof
sat nav
footwell lights
leather arm rests and dash FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

Yes and as I said if you have a RR with no Sunroof its not going to be a Vogue whatever the seller says....

vogue also has a heated steering wheel i believe...

yep, new I was missing something off the list.  FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

Said Vogue on the new keepers part I got and says Vogue on my current one. Old MOTs say Vogue too.

Ignorance was bliss for a while  .

Need to apply to the DVLA to get your V5C changed and let your insurers know as it would reduce your premium by all of £3

the vogue seats will have more electronic adjustments and will also have vertical stitching on the headrests as where the HSE will not.
The leather dash and door handles also have stitching as where the HSE does not. FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

bi-Xenon lights were also optional on the HSE, as were the rain sensing wipers and front parking sensors.

Get a brochure and look at the spec change between the two trim levels - they are significant. 

I have not got the heated rear seats, sunroof or leather dash top, and aside from slightly different front seats, the original owner must have ticked nearly all the boxes.

What is the difference between xenon and bi-xenon? Reformed

It's quite a big diff between the Vogue Seats and the HSE seats. Different leather and much more comfortable.

There are 3 light types:

Halogen - Halogen High and Low beam
Xenon - Halogen High and Xenon Low Beam
Bi-Xenon - Xenon & Halogen High Beam and Xenon Low Beam

As you say, you've been happy with it for all this time, so don't worry about it

Microcat will tell you exactly what you do and dont have...
