I was surprised at the pick up on the diesel. I know it's a V10 but I assumed the diesels were slow off the line but had the pulling power.

The rear seat is very uncomfortable. It's like a bench, very straight, rigid back, no support or cushioning whatsoever. I've never sat in my beackseat but it does look alot more comfortable
