Damn, damn, damn and bu99er

I swore I wouldn't ever like the D5 as it was just a pumped up DiscoSport and would never be more practice/desirable than my D4.

Well, I've just seen one in the flesh (all black) and I'm smitten....what to do now...?

I promised myself my next Land Rover would be the new Defender, but the D5 does look good...😜

Cheers

I kind of am, I saw the D5 on the Land Rover Experience stand at the Australian Grand Prix...😎

They're a bit expensive over here, so I'll wait till I get home.

I have had one for a few weeks and can tell you once driven for a period of time you will not look back. It is not a D4 there are things missing but y the same token there is also far more available which out ways in my view what is missing.
Go for it you wont regret it.

Not as much storage as the D4 especially in the boot area split tailgate if that is an issue to you, it is not for me and the silly fold down flap is proving useful already.
That is probably it so far as I said I believe the benefits far out weigh the losses

Only issue is that the number plate lights are off set as well so by moving plate to central position you loose out on illumination
Oh and there are two holes in the tailgate for the number plate to screw into
