Thinking that the 2.0 may be more suitable for us , no need to tow and only 2 of us , going to have a look at local dealer this weekend see what they have in s/h .
Prob an SE model as don't want Panoramic/sun roof .
If possible get a test drive of both, a 2l and a 3l back too back, as a comparison.
Probably better with the 2l, if just the 2 of you, and not towing

Each to their own.
I had a bevy of D3/4s 3lts and apart from the differing exhaust noise, I can’t tell any difference.
As regards performance, it’s lively, although I don’t tow anything more than a trailer and I keep within the speed limits.
Salesman tend to be disingenuous and without much knowledge tbh. They are in it to sell. The last one I fell out with told me I was a fool to pay cash for a car, I just got up and walked out. You don’t go into a showroom and have the seller tell the buyer they need their head read, even if they believe it.
I wholeheartedly agree, as I think that some of the negative comments, they should keep to themselves, as all customers are different and have various needs. They must think customers were born yesterday, sugar coating everything, making it look better than it is.
Had I initially been after a 2l, I would have walked out too, before having a friendly word with the manager.
End of the day, it's us who are paying the salesmans wages, and a comment like that, even tho I perceived it as wideboy patter, could have potentially lost a sale. (I think the salesman is the one needing his head read)
I also asked about mud flaps and salesman said that he thought the car looked far better without them, and no need for them was his opinion. I disagreed
It's like saying I need a tow bar, but salesman says no need, just stick a roof box on and your sorted
With regards to paying cash, they obviously want you to take finance, so that they can benefit from the interest. Tried that tactic with me too saying its alot of money upfront, but why pay alot more at the end of the day in interest rates, if you can afford to pay it outright.
End of the day, its not the salesmans job to dictate or force us what we end up buying or what we cannot put onto the car.
Yes, they are there too advise, and thats about it.
I know what I want spec wise and accessory wise before hand, as I do my homework before I walked into a showroom. Done it all on the builder.
Never gone in blindly as several collegues felt they had been ripped off with extras they felt they were pressurised into like wheel refurbs and paint coatings.
