    Well...we took the D3 for a drive today and spent a good amount of time looking over it.

    It certainly ticked all the boxes. Seating setup is brilliant!!! I must admit I was surpised just how good it was. This thing can COMFORTABLY set 7 adults with huge headroom, shoulder room and very good legroom. Awesome setup with all the seats down and huge luggage space with the 3rd row down. We both struggled to find things we didnt like with the most major being the indicator stem on the left

    I had the chance to floor it from a standing start on a corrugated road and it tracked very straight without losing traction. From 70k+ it rode the corrugations very smoothly. I didn't explore its 4wd capabilities but have no doubts from all the reviews that it is nothing short of brilliant. I would like however to see this demonstrated before I buy though.

    SWMBO first comment when she saw it was that its..big.. Managed to demonstrate when I parked it that it was shorter than a commodore. Very surprising. She didn't mind driving it at all and she did like the visibility and position in the drivers seat.

    Most surprising was the quietness inside. Sounded more like a petrol than a diesel.

    I think it is just a case now of locking in my budget range and finding the right one!

    2 things about the D3.

    I love 'em. They are brilliant. An SE would suit me fine.
    The D4 looks the goods - even more of a good thing.
    I can (and won't be able to for the foreseeable future) afford either.

    Good thing I like my Defender !
