Definitely worth the extra money and ongoing value.
Word of warning though..... If you get a pre 2020 model ( I had one of the first FL 2018 models), make sure the Infotainment system is up to date ... |

If you've only had the car for two weeks, take it back to the dealer.
I had problems with the lower screen not working following a crash in November (car was hit on passenger side), which should no ... |

| I've had 6 LR cars with the 3.0l engine and never had a problem with any of them. The latest MHEW is brilliant so I'd recommend the engine. It is economical, smooth and quick. |

I think one of the reasons the D350 is rare is because, like me, the D300 does all they require and so people have opted for that engine.
I get over 30mpg (true) doing mostly short journeys, it is s ... |
