MY15 Disco 4 HSE - hopefully picking up this week!

[HonestIago]

Not mine but my Mum's, doesn't stop me being rather excited though! It is to replace a MY11 HSE which was stolen this summer. Spec is Loire Blue with Ebony leather (I wanted Ivory!), Grand Black Lacquer and a few options like rubber mats, door protection strips, mudflaps etc...and a tracker this time! The MY15 cars have standard 20s which we weren't too thrilled about and may try and swap for 19s ride dependent. Will post pics once collected.

Anyone driven both 6-speed and 8-speed Disco 4s? Is there a real world performance and/or economy difference on the later cars? Has anyone driven a Disco 4 on both 19s and 20s? Is there a noticeable reduction in ride comfort on 20s?

Any input appreciated!

Thanks for the input, now looking like next week collection though. Must say I'm quite looking forward to having a play with the paddles, although can't help but feel it won't suit this sort of car!

We picked it up yesterday, great improvement on the previous MY11 car! The paddles improve the driving experience no end, I really like being able to use a bit of engine braking rather than dabbing the brakes before corners. The ride seems brilliant and it definitely handles better than our last one. Loire Blue is darker than we expected but is a lovely colour with the sunlight on it IMO.

Nearly specced those wheels for mine. Should have done. Looks nice.

They do look good but wouldn't spec them if they weren't now standard, 19s make more sense!
