The D3 vs D2 New owner thread

[Sir WIll]

I know many of you have changed from a D2 to a D2 over the last couple of years and I have found it very interesting to drive both this weekend.

D2

I still adore the D2, its a much better looking car in a lower more classic kind of way. I also find it better to drive and more connected to the road.

The Recaro interior and especially front seats I find better than the D3, also as of now my D2 gearbox is smoothly and shifts better.

D3

Much better speaker system (Active Bose vs Active Bose), its not technically "Hi Fi" or accurate but does a very good job none the less.

The MMI is very good and the whole system is a clear step up and I like the way it works, I shall add an AMI and update the software at some point also.

The v8 is smoother and revs better than the D2 and economy is about the same but now I have 60bhp more. Power is good also and a great balance for the car, a little more torque helps a great deal.

The car rides better, grips more but without doubt is more detached and the steering wheel is not really connected to anything.
