    Worse for my not so gutless D4 was 18l/100 towinga 3T van into a huge headwind for 650km.
    Best was 9.0l/100 empty,just driver and the dog,over 1200km.

    Calculated consumption,not going by dash readout,as it is inaccurate.

    I was wondering if the suspension arms on the Y62 wear out as quickly as the D3/4?

    It is the maintenance costs that are the killer for the D3/4,suspension arms,timing belts,brakes,batteries,auto services,and anything else that comes along,air suspension,egrs,etc.

    And I bet the D5 will be the same or worse,although the ingenium engines don’t have timing belts,but the V6 will.

Diesels are great and i would of had the cummins if it was available at the time. In saying that the big v8 cummins doesnt offer much better economy than the petrol and im glad we got the peteol. Its about 150,000 kms before you break even with the cummins according to reviews. The diesel offers great low down torque, slightly better economy and longer travel distance between fills but it also offers more noise, more things to go wrong and vulnerability to crap fuel in remote areas.

    Now tell me this; Is all the extra fun and peace of mind you can have worth an additional $50 per week as a worst case scenario?
    I am not advocating against the Y62 petrol. It has a good deal of things going for it.

    When i used 15L/100km the GQ petrol used 30L/100km. My bill was $60 and his was $100 due to having LPG. Regardless, i generally advise him to keep it, even though he gets tempted by my great economy at times.

    Modern cars suck in terms of complexity and reliability risks and stupid features and stupid non features, whether diesel or petrol.

    Congrats mate, happy for you.

    Expand on your experience please, im excited to hear your impression.

    The mistake one makes is driving it. Assuming your looking for a family bus, test driving it is a sure way to end up with one in driveway.

    But...............

    Saw one the other day,bar,rack,black wheels,etc....

    The only issue i see,FWIW,is it is a bit big for SWMBO,the D4 is just the right size, hmmm

    oh,and i can't see the brakes lasting long either,or her license...

    Its ok we haven't signed up just yet.... it is a huge commitment however looki ng at va lue for money and the big picture for US it is exactly what we require.
    The engine and trans are just so well matched!! And all the time i was drivimg it , it reminded me of the Lexus LS430 we used to have. Silent, torquey, smooth and that beautifully understated induction and exhaust note...😍. Was also surprised at tge fuel use. I know the dash is usually optimistic however 12.5 per 100 for a freeway/ suburbs mix adding up to 85km total was pretty impressive in Melbourne morning traffic
