I test drove a 2010 facelift tdv8 today as I hadn't actually driven one. Yes its huge but it does wallow a bit - are there any suspension setting to firm it up a bit? I realise that rather defeats the point but all the same.
Also the seats were really rather hard, is this usual?
I can't quite get over how big it felt and bear in mind I drive a classic LSE frequently. It was more the width than the length.
Finally we have 2 small children and the paraphernalia that goes with them. It seemed that even on entry mode the tailgate was quite high. How to people get on in these situations? I'm thinking especially other halves and hefting pram bases in and out without bashing the paintwork!
Thanks
David

suspension can be lowered a bit with an iidtool,

seats aren't as good as the 2002-2005 years,

you can use access mode to lower the FF to help with entry etc.. ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan. Anyone else with any views?

Hi David, I am surprised that you think the 2010 wallows. I assume that you are comparing it to your LSE. I have owned many classics including pre soft dash air suspension models and a 1994 soft dash with air and think that the L322 is a marked improvement on the air suspension of the early cars. If it is working correctly the suspension should firm up when it senses the cornering of the car, could the one you were driving be faulty?
I have owned a 2002 L322 and now own a 2010 model and have never considered them to wallow.
Just my observation you realise and does not infer that you are wrong. The Best 4x4 by far, so long as you have deep pockets.
