Had mine from new in Summer 2023. It's a terrific all rounder, comfortable and spacious yet incredibly quick when you want it. It's also reasonably economical for such a beast and I can manage 500 miles+ from a tank on a longer journey.

Having said all that, its biggest accomplishment is the chassis. It really drives like no SUV has the right to, it's more akin to a tall GT3 than anything else. its connection with the road and front end grip are excellent. The more recent hybrid replacements have similar pace but fall well short in handling, not surprising given they weight almost 400kg more.

The only compromises are it is 4 seats only and there is no tow bar option. Not an issue for me but it might not tick everyones boxes for a family truck.

Thanks. What would you say are must have options in buying a 2nd one ?

All the important bits are standard including ceramics, PDCC, RWS, Sports Exhaust, Air Suspension. Also, all the exterior and interior carbon is standard along with LED headlights, park assist, keyless entry, cruise. The neodyme rims and interior neodyme accents/belts are also standard.

From the options list, I'd look for head-up display, soft close doors, the matrix LED's and maybe the surround cameras. Almost everything else is cosmetic.

This is the nicest one on sale IMHO. All the right options and low miles.

Surprised to hear about the mileage. Is that definitely a Turbo GT because when researching this car a couple years ago the fuel economy was terrible at around 200 miles on a tank which was the biggest gripe from a couple owners - that they were always at the petrol station!

I think you were fed a load of BS. It has a 80 litre tank so 200 miles equals 11.4mpg! Even driving like a T**T, I've never got anywhere near that low. 500 miles from a tank is very doable on a motorway run.

That could be right.
14 mpg city and 19 mpg motorway. 200 miles in the city including idle/slow traffic time probably is around 11.4mpg
