Us petrolheads will say SC all day. Response is just better - simple as that.

I'm in an SDV8 because of my mileage profile, as soon as I stop travelling with work I'll be in a SC.

The writing is on the wall in regard to diesel. Some manufacturers are stopping ongoing production of diesel cars. BMW as an example are not providing a diesel option on the latest 3 series.

Both are good and there is a case for driving both and seeing which you prefer. 4.4SDV8 gives access to Vogue and SE grades and there will be more cars to choose from. But I'd say the 5.0SC was less likely to be problematic than the complex SDV8 with its two turbos, AdBlue and DPF, especially if it has been used mainly for short stop-start journeys, and while my 5.0SC seems noisier than it was when new, age for age it should be quieter and more refined than the diesel and the performance is notably stronger.

Thanks for the replies and opinions.The 5.0SC is probably more suited to my requirements and in the long run, likely to be less problematic. All I have to do now is find a decent one. If there is anybody looking to sell please give me a shout.
