Hi all

Would go for a 4 but want petrol and the tax put me off the 4 diesel. 2017 5 petrol £190 a year, insurance quote £450
Do I need some medical help

Awful in what way Moo? Are they just uncomfortable compared to the D3 / 4? Never been in the back of a D5 so genuinely curious

Just one person’s opinion. My youngest daughter is almost 6ft tall and she found the middle row seats in my D5 fine.
But yes you are mad
