James when you have gearbox in sport mode and dynamic mode on car is fine you can decide when you have your test drive I'm sure other owners will have good advice especially the supercharged owners |

I moved from a SDV6 to Supercharged and as expected the difference is phenomenal. I'd say I get ~20mpg mooching around, more on long drives. The key difference, as Viper has already mentioned, is the delay when pulling away in the diesel.

Update: The supplying dealer (Harwoods Croydon) have agreed to paint my sills and lower bumper inserts for £960 all in - result |

Thanks everyone. I am having dreadful issues with my local dealer - I wont name and shame but they have two words which make their name up, the first is the opposite of a girl, and the second is a fish which is delicious both fresh and smoked, and its not trout |

I find the 3L twin turbo to be a cracking engine, I don't get any lag, but I might drive it differently, it pulls like a train in mid range, I do a mixture of B roads and lanes in the week and motorways at weekends, i have just done a 300 mile trip today, average speed was 71mph and it recorded 26mpg, the engine sounds lovely and is a joy to listen to inside when you shove the loud pedal down, on a friends private road it did 140mph on the clock, the gearbox is also a joy and very smooth indeed unless you really boot it and it can be a little bit harsh on the odd gear change, but overall I love driving it.
