It’s a pity about not liking the SDV6, it’s a better engine than the TDV6, but it’s the only option in a D4 which, if you’re looking for practical 7 seater car, puts the D5 firmly in the MINI Countryman class! |

I have an l322 and the wife a d3 boot space is much better in the d3 but rear passenger comfort is less you trade 1 for the other. That being said were gonna use the d3 for a trip shortly because we need space for the dog and essentials were also fitting the top box.

I’ve been a big believer in Thule roof boxes, over several generations of car, from MINI to 405 and they work brilliantly with the D4, just don’t ever fit one to an L405! You can only use the OEM roof rails (which are made of cheese) and the surprisingly curved sides of the car make fitting, filling, emptying and removal a pain in the bum. |

If you can live with a lack of symmetry - the pic Tim posted on this thread looks like you could over-hang it quite a long way.... |

That’s pretty much how mine looked on the top of the L405. The problem is the width of the car, the thickness of the doors (11”!) and the barrel sidedness of the flanks, which make loading the box so difficult. I use a trailer now 👍 |

More boot space and the ability to carry more people ( in comfort ) Land Cruiser Amazon. Really miss mine. Great bang for your buck.

I've got to say a Range Rover has some street cred, when you get over the Chelsea Taxi/Premiership Footballer jokes and the mock astonishment at the fuel consumption, I put it all down to Jealousy. |

And Range Rovers have so much badge cred that whatever one you own, at any value between 2k to 100k, still oozes style.
