Thanks for the replies, I'll certainly look for DAB as I've never seen any yet mention twin pane glazing. I think I can cope with a manual adjustable steering wheel if I have to, just could do without the hassle of everything else as I'm used to the S8 knowing who's driving by which key it is.

I don't think my budget will go to a post 2011 but will know nearer the time if it happens. Is the 3G MMI available prior to 2011? I'm assuming it's a lot better than the 2G.

The tax wouldn't be an issue, well it will, but we're going to get stung as it's going to coincide with a move to Ireland so will be around €2000+ a year no matter what. Even the S8 would be €1800 a year but just wouldn't have the space we would want and I'm not sure it would get the care it requires.
