    2017 Discovery SDV6 HSE Carpathian Grey

    HSE to HSE Lux Dynamic

    I'm so impressed with my 2.0 HSE that I'm going to upgrade to one of these in a few months - say hello to a 3.0 Loire blue HSE Lux Dynamic!!!! Wink

    Looks nice

    The jury is still out as to whether or not I would take another.

    Must admit that I'm smitten with my D5 although would probably also take a high power 240 bhp diesel 2.0 Discovery Sport if/when it arrives... Laughing

    To my eyes Loire blue with dynamic looks pretty sweet on D5. Cool

    I think the 240 diesel in the DS would be a welcome addition or the 250 petrol from the F-pace or just go the whole hog and stick the V6 diesel/petrol in it, that would tempt me into a DS again.

    Don't get me wrong I like my D5 and have no regrets in purchasing it but there is a few things that bug me on it.

    🔵 The sun catches the silver trim around the gear selector

    🔵 less steering lock than the D4

    🔵 rattling rear seat belts

    Minor things really, the seat belts can be fixed with fiddling around.

    Wear sunglasses for the glare and ear plugs for the rattling seat belts.
    Am sure you can live with the steering lock issue though Laughing

    Steering lock - Let's get some perspective (I know you said less than D4) - steering lock on Defender and D2 is bad. D5 not fantastic but not a black cab by comparison. Laughing What size wheels? I'd say that it is equivalent to a RRS or RR.

    Rear seat belts - not noticed that, row 2 or 3? Do they rattle when clipped in (without an occupant)?

    Selector - Emery cloth Thumbs Up

    My one is running on the 19"

    It's tight to get into my drive, D4 got straight in the D5 needs a cut, it just needs that tiny bit more and would be fine.

    I can live with it but could've been better.

    Must admit that I'm still adjusting in terms of scale from Disco Sport so everything is bigger / more of a challenge so lots of things for me to learn to live with!

    I've been using an Evoque this weekend and it feels tiny (handles well) but not impressed with the ride below 35 MPH as it's jiggly so have obviously become very used to air suspension in pretty short order Laughing

    One thing I'm enjoying is the fuel economy, even though it over reads, it's nice to see 31mpg rather than 25mpg on the dash Laughing
