What are these things like?
Pretty much same as a Bentley Flying Spur are they not?
Whats, drive & performance etc like. Or do you have the little oil burning one?
Remapped 3.0TDi = 275hp. Slow without the remap. Swift to 90mph then all out of puff. 30mpg on a run with or without the remap.Pretty much same as a Bentley Flying Spur are they not?

Very comfortable. Very solid handling, though much better suited to slow pipe-n-slippers driving.
The worse satnav ever. Daft electric boot lid that regularly needs a helping hand. Paint issue with steel/aluminium doors causes paint to bubble (every car has this, even new ones). Cost £4000 to repaint/retrim the doors (thank God for VW goodwill). Bottom door trims all rust internally and bow outwards.
Worth nowt second-hand, which is about right.
6.0 w12 gets 10mpg. 5.0 v10 TDi gets 18mpg and goes bang without much provocation.
Love mine, but I'd say buy an Audi A8 instead. Much better than a Merc or BMW though...
My daily driver is a 2006 X-Type 3.0
Lovely to waft home in this after a crappy shift, and the 4WD is very handy in winter.
The wife's car, which doubles up as the family car, a 2011 XF 5.0 S Premium Luxury
It is better in every way than we could ever have expected, and with a Spires exhaust, sounds gorgeous. ( I think due to the firing order, actually sounds better than the 'Ro Not as loud though!)
