I have taken the 4.4 Sport and 3.0 D Sport for test drives.

Great leg room for tall people!!

The 4.4 was great for power. The 3.0D took a while to warm up and power up then ran so so. Not my cup of tea but clearly great on fuel.

If you have ever been to London you will know it's 90% speed ramps. Both cars peformed very badly on these slow ramps. My wife who gave birth 3 weeks ago was giving me moody looks from the back seat indicating a slightly uncomfortable ride.

I know its a massive car and the sports set-up would need to be soild to stop the rolling. What is the standard set-up like (non sport)? Can you still get the 19in wheels on?? or is their too much movement??

Every bit of information no matter how small would be greatly absorbed. I don't want to buy a lemon.

All the Best
