Guys - I'm still not convinced either, but then it took me a good while before liking the D3 after my D2. In the first instance the D3 looked more like a transit, SWMBO even called it a van.

So all I'm trying to do is decide that if I do go for one, which one could I put up with when I have to look at the rear when walking away from it - I rather walk away with a smile rather than a wince Whistle

The prolapsed look with the towbar is by far the worst.

The Disco Sport is by far the worse look for a tow bar rear. The D5 pales into insignificance compared to that. Laughing

Gents, I am also considering a D5

Is there attachments if you have a detachable tow bar fitted for breakaway cables that isn't part of the detachable tow bar if that makes sense.

Yes, there’s a ring to the left of the tow bar, but why worry? If the trailer jumps the hitch, your in all kinds of Censored anyway.
