Very nice.

Funny how white is back in vogue after many years in the 'wilderness', or was it just that they all went to the Middle East... ;)

How do you find the performance, build etc variations across the three you've had?

yea agree. Saw a 40 in white somewhere and thought it looked sharp in that colour.  Driven black and grey also but really like the white. Blue looks great also. To tell the truth I thought the 30sd was the dogs b++++ocks but nothing prepared me for the performance of the 3.5 and now th 4.0. Think the ride is best on the 4.0 and it goes like s**t off a shovel but I playing favourites. 8) Build wise nothing in it as all 3 had third row seating so interior didn't change for me.

Think the biggest laugh when i got with the 3.5 was the day I picked it up and was bombing home down the M1 and this bing bong went off. I didn't have the the speed warning on the 3.0sd so wasn't sure what was wrong until i looked in between the dials and saw the warning. First bloody setting I turned off

That is lovely. :)

But do you wash it or just take it to the local chaps to do? Hardest to keep clean but otherwise very fetching.

Lucky as my 19 year old washes it for me when he has done doing his car.  Great kid
