Economy
Value
Bought from dealer 2 years ago, but depreciation has been horrific. Internal specification is second to none and the finish is beautiful, especially if you have the full wood and leather trim.
Costs
Around town I see between 15 and 16mpg. On a run 17-18 mpg. But I expected this. Main delaer servicing is v v expensive. Can be halfed by going to a specialist.

Driving
Great on motorways, not so good on bumpy back roads, but you get used to it.
Performance
Excellent. I bought the 4.6 as it was the quickest 4x4 I could find. Acceleration is very good, can overtake with confidence.
