deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Ahahaaaa. The Land Rover broke down again this morning at the dealership FFS. They gave me this ML320 CDI for the day & I can report that it's superb, power to burn, drives like a car, the V6 Turbo diesel is soooooo quiet it's just unbelievable! - no low ratio though but I'm probably not going to have it in an off-road situation that would really require it. Once all the crap is sorted out with Ebbett's I'm 90% on that ML320, it's brilliant! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 134 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Friends of mine just traded their V10 and lancruiser vx for a v6 toureg and tiguan.... old toureg used TOO MUCH fuel etc etc, and landcruiser was too big...... That may mean giltraps have a V10 for sale just traded i guess! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 There's few about, I have heard they are thirsty. I think this ML320 is a good tradeoff - the power delivery is like nothing I've ever had, I suggest if any of you get the chance to have a try of one just to see what I'm jumping up and down about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a 3.2V6 which wasn't at all that great, but not the V10, can anyone report? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Whats with the jesus handles down by the gearstick? They're quite different. The gear lever is up on the steering column like a big indicator switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dickhead 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2009 why do you want an SUV? X5s and Touregs look like upside down boats and are pathetic off road, at least a range rover has a bit of class and look pretty cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Range Rover is awesome, but just too un-reliable! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my uncles car mate, too impractical for my work & it's not at all that economical to run, would like it though & I need the room & versatility that a SUV can offer, quickest car I've ever been in fo sho!
