What a car! Just about the most spacious and comfortable place that the family have ever sat down together in Nice V8 too
Just none too keen on the way it was presented for sale and the lack of flexibility of the sales staff. Strictly limiting a test drive to a round trip of 5 or 6 miles didn't help much either. Decided to look elsewhere
Glad you got yours back

I love the FFRR and indeed have had one on order at one stage but cancelled for the current D4 over concerns about size which after the extended tests sadly turned out to prove the right decision. The boot just isn't big enough for me
Whilst I'm knocking on a bit now at 40 my only other comment would be it strangely felt a bit too "Grown up" for us
Other than that its great motor the interior is superb and the V8 I loved, only thing i would think about if about to pull the trigger now is the face lift i believe is on the way. If considering nearly new i wouldn't hesitate if practicality was covered MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Thanks for the reply RDR
Ja92mie, it's running faultlessly so far and I've put on around another 600 miles since picking it up on Saturday After over 3,000 miles in their RRS, I much prefer driving the D4!2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
