Hi,
I've chosen SE, Orkney Grey, RSE, Seat Pack 3 (rear recline & cooled rears), dual view screen, detachable towbar, vision assit

I did consider the Autobiography, but I actually wasn't keen on the grill styling or wheels - it's nice, but not my choice so please don't think I'm dissing it.

I'll let you know once it's here in many months !

Nice! Mine was little more simple: VSE in Stornoway with RSE, tints, dual view and full size spare. I've already got a 'towbar' - it's a 90 Deafener!

If price isn't an issue I would go for an Autobiography. More standard items and leather everywhere including roof lining, door cards etc. Would recommend in TDV8 form.

I still chose the TDV8 because I don't want to be at the petrol pump every 250 miles! Over 500 miles on a tank of diesel suits me nicely. Performance isn't drastically different either.

I simply prefer the diesel. As Autobiography writes, it's a pain on long journeys if you're having to stop every 250 - 300 miles for petrol.
For the tiny bit of extra performance you get from the petrol to new 4.4 diesel, I just can't justify it.

Personally I think in later years I reckon a diesel might hold a little more value than the supercharged......but of course I'm never right, so you can guarantee diesel will suddenly become so rare it'll be £10 a gallon when I want to sell it

Congrats on what sounds like an amazing spec. I've yet to see a car with the reclining rears, I'd love to try them out and see what they're like. I also haven't seen one with the leather headlining, would love to see that in Jet.

It will be great to have someone with another brand new car, we have a great range of ages and specs on here so your views and input will be most welcome.

Even though mine is 3yrs old and done 61,000 I still enjoy every single drive in it. It's always an occasion. Discovery 4 HSE
