picked this up last week
Its ok but hate the noise of diesl its awfull ....its got.plenty of poke in it 250bhp and 8 speet it goes quite well indeed....only down side is at city speeds you can.really hear the engine....the petrol s8 is staggering though i much prefered it.and the birds eye parking system is witchcraft its fantastic
Boot space is a joke its no bigger than an a4 boot .... Rear leg room is non existant in the swb ... Really strange. The steering in spot on it drives lovely and the dynamic steering is great you shave 4 foot off the rear end when in sports mode and dynamic its really great how it works.. Rear view camera as standard now on the d4 Over all a great car but advise a lwb if you intend to carry any.one in the rear S8 is staggering ..0-60 in 4.2 seconds and yes it dose do it The pull from 80 to shal we say almost double that is just effortless and the gear changes are great ....not to.mention the sound of that lovely turbocharged v8 Rear leg room is poor Bit of a mix and match but thats the D4 any way 3.0 tdi Next up 6.3 W12 Followed by the S8 And 4.2tdi |

Interesting, how come you got your hands on that? Delivery job?
I knew the boot was smaller because of all the electronics behind the seats, but those struts take up an awful lot of room as well - wonder why they changed to that design?

The only thing that I find with the D3 boot space is that it is not quite deep enough for the clubs to go in straight, and they will not go in sideways due to the battery & amp positions. Makes it a little harder to fit multiple sets in. My old car at least fit them in sideways for multiple sets.
