    time has come which one do i choose

    well i think the time as come to say good bye to my beloved d2 td5. 315,000kms and lots of fun later. but driving for work every day is starting to take a toll on the old girl.

    now the big question is do i go for a 2005/2006 d3 se v6 or the last of the td5? fuel cost is not an issue. my boss picks up the tab for that and repair, maintance etc.

    your thoughts?

    Really up to you but I suppose the first thing is what advantages does the D3 have for you over another D2.

    Td5 is great but D3 SE is in another league IMO... even with a petrol 6

    Enjoy shopping around

    D3.

    V6 is a nice engine except it can be thirsty.

    And I'd second white as a good colour!
