D3's are they worth it? - about to buy a 4x4 - help PART 2

Well, it happened.
Picked up the D3 yesterday (a day early Very Happy ).
My God ithe D3 is W I D E.

Gonna take a bit of getting used to when manouvering in traffic.

I have been driving around with the cheesest grin you can imagiane.

I love the auto box and the air susp is fantastic. All cars should be made like this.

One question - am I right in thinking that the lock key for the removable tow hitch stays in the ball / hitch when it is removed from the back of the D3?

Thanks to all the comments and advice on the original post.

Z Silver is the colour I got and it looks well in it.

Congratulations and enjoy 8) Yes the key does stay in the hitch when off the car. It is a wide car, but the command driving position helps you to judge it perfectly.

It certainly does seem wide at first. I used to have D2 before, and when I moved to the D3 I initially found it seemed quite a lot wider than it actually was, but soon got used to it. Smile

Hope it goes well for you DC. Very Happy IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver

Its wide, but I think it feels wider that it actually is by virtue of the fact that the bonet and car doesnt slope/curve away at the sides.

I drove a number of 4x4s before choosing the D3 and of all of them the D3 is easier to manover and judge the width because of this. 2004 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi Silver
