14,
I've had my MY18 SD5 since new. Happy to discuss my love/hate relationship with this vehicle.
Great economy.
14 weeks off the road with an unnecessary engine change. The issue turned out to be a leaking inlet manifold.
Dreadful customer service from JLR and the local dealer.
Fantastic ride and dynamics, especially on the highway.
Meridian sound system sounds great.
Can now play mp4 files en masse after 3 years of infotainment updates and a total lack of care from JLR.
Huge cargo capacity. I often use the car to do construction site deliveries and anyone unloading is always amazed what the thing will carry with the seats down.
Safety tech, while intrusive, works as advertised.
I think the D5 is better off road (on sand) than the D4's & 3 I had previously, but that could be down to less weight to haul around.
Turbo lag at intersections is annoying.
The above sounds like a whinge...which it is...but I'd buy a D300 Disco or Defender tomorrow if I could find one.
Cheers,
Mark
