Picked up our new D4 HSE on Friday afternoon from site sponsors CHPR - see thread below for feedback:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic39921.html
The car is an HSE in Stornoway with almond leather plus 20" alloys, privacy, hybrid TV and surround cameras.
I am please to say that despite several tales of woe posted on these very boards it has come complete with the specified cameras and rear seat audio controls !
First impressions are that it is a very good car indeed. Immediately upon receipt we took it up to Newcastle for the weekend and it was a revelation on the motorway, quiet, smooth and decently quick when required plus returned 33 mpg.
A few quick observations are that the Nav/Infotainment unit is very good once a bit of time has been spent with the manual, the HK sound system is very impressive, keyless entry/go is a pretty cool gadget once you get comfortable with it and the car attracts a lot of admiring glances. I know this is a subjective measure but IMO it does genuinely feel a more "premium" product than our old D3. The only minor downside to date is that I can't get quite as much rearwards travel on the drivers eat as I could in my old D3, not sure if this is a D4 attribute or an electric seat one.
I'll post a few pics along with some further impressions later in the week.

Would you say the TV is a worthwhile option or a bit of a gimmick?
just looking at my options list and think it needs a bit of trimming! 
can't find any useful information on the web about it so could you let me know what it can and can't do?
thanks
