Actually, it is the hybrid that I'm trying to get her into. To be honest, the Tesla would be perfect. She does lots of miles but they are lots of short to medium journeys that end back at home. However, I think the "falcon doors" and tech factor will put her off. The XC90 PHEV is a great option. And no more diesel.

Oh and my wife came out of the showroom saying that maybe we should just sell her car. She would then drive my Range Rover unless I'm shooting and I drive one of the other cars "as we don't need two 4x4's". Which puts me in the Mini Cooper in the winter most days. Which would be fine except the Rangie would be full of rubbish, permanently filthy and do starship mleage. How do I politely dissuade her? |

Keep the Toyota or buy the newest one you can get to replace it.

Show her some of the L405 reliability threads on this forum. |

If you only need 7 seats occasionally and they are for small people (wife will probably fit ) you can buy a 7 seat conversion's for range rover and other vehicles, you can then pick what ever car you want and make it into the 7 seater she desires

She's clearly a woman of taste

I think you have now found out her actual plan!

To be honest the 5.7 is an old engine, the 6.4 as used in some faster vehicles would be the better one to go for... maybe a GC SRT with the extra seats fitted in the back FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

She clearly wants to have a L405 as a daily drive so buy her an early 2013 model (so you get to keep the "newer" one you have as yours).

This is why I was only silly enough to have a wife for a short while before casting her to the bin!!
