450kgs lighter

An often quoted figure, but terribly misleading as it’s comparing the D5 in 2.0 form, to the old D4 as a 3.0. Try comparing it engine for engine

2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

2016MY D4 3.0 = 2622kg

2018MY D5 2.0 = 2115kg (-547kg)
2018MY D5 3.0 = 2230kg (-392kg)

2.0 is 97kg less and the 3.0 is 58kg more than the 450kg claim ...so not so far off tbh

How do you get oversize avatars anyway? I was on a strict limit.. D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven

Jeeps, Lexus, X-trails... Too many to name..

If you have to wait 17 seconds before reversing out of a parking space, that would be very annoying, if not actually horrifying.

It’s just one more good reason to reverse INTO parking spaces!
