Well personally I'm buying one because it handles no differently and the cost is minimal over a well specced SWB SDV8 Autobiography. |

Even on a £100k plus car I would not call the £7600 extra minimal. Even if you were getting the most expensive RSE and front seats it's still a thick £4500. You have got to spending a lot of time sat in the back to justify that. I don't think I could when I rarely have adult rear passengers and never sit in the back myself. I would also be concerned about it sticking out of parking spaces and fitting it in my garage which would be a squeeze with the extra length |

The extra length isn't noticeable when driving at all and it fits in my garage and other parking spaces with relative ease. I was also concerned about this but had one for a few days and it fitted into my routine quite nicely. |

The LWB looks less attractive though |

I struggle to see the benefit unless you are being chauffeured around in the back (which is why it's been developed primarily ) Now if they had used the extra length to add some more space in the front as well or in the boot I would find it more useful. |

To be honest, I don't like mine. I am a chauffeur in London and as it has been noted the rear doors are huge, the ride quality is not very good and is back in for the (hopefully) revised suspension today for the fourth time They say you can put 22 inch rims on it now , but IDE go down to 20's |

Gremlin, can you keep us updated on the suspension work. What was actually done and fitted. Also how it rides after the 'fix' and then after say 400 miles or so.

The size of the wheels has very little impact in my view. The ride if you have the suspension issue is awful regardless of the wheel size on the ones that I have driven. Now mine has the new valve block the ride on 22s is as good as my 2010 was on 20s. |

Interestingly (or not), the revised V8 diesel in the facelifted Cayenne isn't Euro 6 compliant either (still has a load more torque than the SDV8 though). Wonder if that's confirmation that its time is up.

Although it's the North American version, some of the bits of info may be interesting:
