    First 250km

    My first 250km in my 2018 2.0sd hse are done.

    Was expecting to have to get used to the 2.0 after 2 D4’s and 2 D3’s that all had the 3.0v6. Since these v6’s have been quite costly over the years for me i am hoping the 2.0 will be more reliable.

    Car drives fantastic; nice step up from the d4.

    Only point of critism; the steering wheel is thinner. The d4 wheel felt more grippy.

    Overall very happy!

    5k km done. Really happy with the car. Don’t experience the ‘lag’ reported by some on pickup.

    Done approx 1k km with trailer and am not missing power or anything. Plan was to get it chipped asap; don’t feel the need tbh.

    Car has the electric folding rearseats. Thought that to be over the top. But find myself using it much more than with my disco 4 where it was manual.

    Kids happy with the extra legroom in the back compared to the disco 4.

    Still not yearning for the 3.0 litre grunt?

    Nope. You can hear the engine working harder but so far have never felt wanting the v6.

    The v6 disco 4 would sometimes make me push it a bit. This car doesn’t do that. Very easy to keep it within the speedlimits.
