I've had my Vogue SE SC for a few months now and to be honest it's the only car I want to drive (apart from the Aston on a dry day) so I'm seriously thinking about trading up to the new 4.4 TDV8 Vogue now the dealers have them in the showroom. With 30mpg combined I could justify using it as my daily drive covering about 30,000 miles per year and getting shot of the 635d as well.

I like the new Baltic Blue or grey colours and with 20" rims and factory tints it would look the business. I would value your views, comments and opinions based on the new model.

I appreciate you are all very busy at the moment with Joanne, but maybe I can get you back on track for a couple of posts  Current MY2020

Look at Micks post (finally). He test drove one.

Busy with Joanne Not ...... Anyhow

Well took the 4.4 TDV8 for a drive today , very impressed with the power of the new engine combined with the ZF 8 speed gearbox , steering is a bit on the light side.

With it being late in the afternoon traffic was a bit on the busy side so it was a case of very seldom getting it by 30mph , until we hit a stretch of the M74 where upon joining it i was told to try the acceleration , which i have to say is fast .

Also the kick-down can accelerate pretty quick too , but it did still feel a bit floaty /rolly at times.

One thing that did bother me was the material or lack of it they use now in the seats it just felt as if i had got into a drivers seat that was maybe 5 year old as the side bolster was kind of lacking in padding.

The Baltic Blue with the Metallic Shimmer thru it is stunning ......

Thanks guys, the one I saw in the showroom was Baltic Blue and it was very very nice. Looks like a test drive is in order........ Current MY2020

Mick, the one I saw yesterday was Baltic Blue but with a dark grey radiator grille, fog light surrounds and lower front spoiler bar which I was told was standard. It looked very smart. I'll try and get a picture next time I go to the dealers. Current MY2020
