I don't tow so I can't comment on that aspect, but there is nothing wrong with normal driving. Its amazing how a bit of bad publicity can spread like this to the point of putting someone off this model year of car??

I had a 4.4 petrol before this and if I recall correctly that didn't have Brembo's and I don't think there is any difference in braking. There wouldn't be really would there!!

Is this 2010 model year I.e. With the digital dash = no brakes?

there was only one year where the diesels changed from the standard brembos to another make, after that they went back to brembos ....
all 2010my have the digital dash's.. ... - .- -.

Sorry, just to be clear:
3.6 2009 model year = brembo brakes & std dash
3.6 2010 model year = cheese brakes & digital dash
4.4 2010 model year = brembo brakes & digital dash


This right??? Basically I cannot get a 3.6 with a digital dash (lcd drivers billical) and brembo brakes?

well, I drive an 09 plate MY2010 registered June 2009 (must be one of the first) which has a superb 3.6 V8 diesel engine a TFT (digital) dash and I'm sure it has a brake pedal. I best check.

Please stop giving the brakes on this model bad publicity as there is nothing wrong with them. I would take the Pepsi challenge on this against the Brembo's. If you are towing your Caravan or horsebox around silverstone every day then I would guess you would notice the difference, but everyday driving - I don't think so.

If you came from a Cayenne to a 2010 RR, it is like having no brakes. Yes, it has brakes, just not as good as they should be for this class and size of car.

Meanwhile - back in the room, the question was which car....TDV8 all day long. preferably the 4.4 with the 8 speed but nowt wrong with the 3.6 apart from potential turbo issues. Much has been documented on this forum on the turbo matter so well worth a search.

Has anyone mentioned the brakes ?? 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus
