I know that you TDV6 & TDV8 guys will hate this but I own a 4.2S/C and have been promising myself a new 5Ltr for 2012 and (thank God) 2012 is here!!

Thoughts on price, spec and colour if you please! But not the MPG!!

If anybody has a 5Ltr I'd love to know all about it?

TDV8 owner here - I definitely don't hate you - in fact you are actually a half brother...just a bit delinquent

Seriously, I'd love an extended drive in the SC but don't think any of the dealers do such a thing do they? If I did less miles than the 28k I've been doing it could make sense.

Looked at the link you posted and was surprised at how much they were asking for that one - I thought SCs were particularly bad on initial depreciation?

If you can go for it - you have my blessing

Lovely car. I do like the blue

And that garage has some strange pricing going on. They have 2.7 TDV6 with high mileage for the same sort of money as much lower mileage 3.6TDV8! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

All you have to do busters is test drive one. It's bloody amazing. I had the 4.2 supercharged and I thought THAT was quick until I drove the 5ltr. OMG. I dont do high millage so I think they are great on fuel. Also inside the cabin they are well improved. Good luck with search and the blue does look good.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

I have 5L SC. It is nice Get one, now! Vadim A.

On a series note, however, 5L is obviously very powerful - no matter at what speed you are going! Let it be 110mph, you always have the power to overtake anyone easily!

Cost... I cannot complain - I knew what I was getting into, i.e. 11-12mpg. Full tank gets you about 500kms (310miles) on motorways, cannot comment on urban roads though, all depends on the traffic.

What else

The roar........ You'll have to hear it for yourself  Vadim A.

Do you know what I think that I just might do that

Think they are a bit strong on the price?! I see that at more 38ish  Cheers Laurence.

At the moment I do not really know anything about the prices on RRS. So I am the last person you want to get the advice from  Vadim A.

Definitely no hatred here and if i decide to have another after my current V8, I would def go for the 5L.

Not sure about the colour - but that's personal taste.

The one thing I would say is that this car came from the sister garage to where my motor came from - I didn't deal with this particular garage but the dealership I dealt with was only up the road. I have had no problems with the dealer at all (see my post in dealer feedback), but I would say make sure you check the vehicle over thoroughly as mine had quite a few dents and scrapes (which they put right).

Push them for some freebies and some juice in it if you do get it.

Hats off to ya - enjoy - more is def more  Have i got the busted controller?!?!!?

Thanks for the heads-up  Cheers Laurence.

First pics of a Bali Blue that I really like the looks of, hope it looks even better in the flesh. RRS TDV8 (loving it)
Suzuki Bandit 1200 (For when the suns out)
Nissan 350z GONE

You could always colour code it then it would look even better just like this one
