I find that our 2012 4.4 is quieter inside then the 2007 3.6 was when you're cruising on the motorway. Might be imagining it though!

Well David, having driven her now for a few days.... YES it is a lot quieter than a 3.6 and YES it is far more refined and ohhh that gearbox sublime...

Think I've found my favourite FF of all time

have you got used to the 'knob' yet Craig? ... - .- -.

8-Speed is miles better but I do yearn for a bit of Knob.

Ahead of an L405?

Honestly David... Yes

I cannot stand the build quality (or lack of it) of the 405 compared to the 322! The package/experience of a 405 is NOT imho worth two to three times the purchase cost of a "like for like" model to mine!

Mine has only covered 18.5K miles and still looks/feels/drives like a new car...

I do keep trying to grab my imaginary piano black knob Stan... "Ohhh er missus"

All joking aside pal, the stick was somewhere to rest your hand and when driven spiritedly would assist with my balance...

New vs used isn't really an argument, but build quality? An L405 is a definite step up in terms of materials and finish (inside at least).

Here we go again!
