2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Zermatt Silver

Ok going for a longer drive this morning... Will keep you posted. The one I've been lent is zermatt and in line with previous posts I think the car suits a darker colour the galway green ones in the local dealer look very smart. The power is a real step up so if I was you if you can drive a manual it would be worth getting a test drive ... I suppose the euro pound thing makes it intresting to import into Germany.

Isn't it funny how different people view things?

I thought that the D4 looked better in a lighter colour. (previous D3 was black).

I think it looks more classy.

Right had another go. Some major pluses over se spec dab radio excellent we live in the middle of nowhere and radio 5 was clear as a bell. Car moves quicker and feels very composed on Scottish a roads

the lack of speakers in the boot can be compansated by setting the audio with a rear bias

still find the ride gets unsettled on rough surface.

In the daylight swmbo is disapointed by quality of plastics either side of the vents and sat nav. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Do you like the mega-smuggness when you pass a D3?

Most likely; hence I haven't test driven one

Day 4 in the D4 XS House....

SWMBO just said " i think we should spend the extra on the HSE when we change"

this mornings fun moment was setting up the childlocks on the D4 ..looking at a keyless entry system in my hand and the locking mechanisim designed to take a D3 Key.

Had a day out in it with friends today brilliant car..but today all the things which were brilliant are already brilliant in the D3...space; 7 seats; rear hatch.

After 4 days the current view is nothing has put us off buying a D4 when the time comes but we won't be doing it any sooner than we'd planned and we'll probably be looking for a HSE. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
