D4 10 vs 16.5
		
		
				
					
					
				
				
		
			
				
					Just back from a trip to Kalbarri and return.
D2a had the best long distance driver's seat, the MY10 is pretty good and MY16.5 definitely lower in the ideal choice spectrum.
The MY10 feels like a well worn cocoon that you slip into and is always enjoyable to drive (except when it chooses not to proceed), and I still prefer the overall ride to the 16.5.
Of course with the 10 having lots of goodies, it is weighted down more, so I'm not really comparing apples and apples.
At the price, I hope the 16.5 grows on me in time, plus I haven't used it to pull the brick yet, which is where the more powerful motor and 8 speed transmission will come into their own.
Question - should I advertise (any point?) the 10 for sale on here - given at least some will already have some idea of its recent history?  
Its off to Dazza's on Monday for the rear door lower motor repair/replacement, then info collated for the dreaded "for sale" exercise.
