I thought this might provoke a strong response! 3 months and she still hasnt warmed to it, so probably never will. I did point out that she drives a Mazda 323, people in glass houses and all that. I also pointed out how particularly flammable Mazdas are when introduced to a can of petrol and a box of matches..... that one didnt go down very well www.Bitter-sweet.co.uk

Have you let her have a go at driving it yet? Or is it a case of prising the keys from your cold dead fingers (like in our household!!)
I'm sure once she has 'had a go' she will be converted!!As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way

Not liking the D3 is one thing but actually preferring in the X5 is quite another.

I had an X5, i bought it new and i kept it for nearly 3 years. I wanted something different so i bought myself a D3. Dont get me wrong, the X5 was a nice drive and i had it fully loaded but for me the D3 is fantastic, it has more space, its a real 4x4!
Would i get rid for another X5?......Would i 07 D3 Zermatt Silver, Stainless Steel Tubes, Chrome Mirror caps, Tints.

You have hit the nail on the head there, X5 is a bloody good drive if driven hard. Very nice car, but it lacks a certain something, no permagrin for a start, wish I'd got a D3 last time round, its just 'kin brilliant. Also the D3 is a fair bit heavier, but seems much cheaper to run. The D3 feels like a proper blokes car, so chunky. Am I the only one who likes to put it in off road height in traffic to 'bully' my way through??!! Just need MTR's and I will be a happy man. www.Bitter-sweet.co.uk
