2012 Discovery

[JDH1]

I have a 2009 3.0 Discovery which is coming up to 3 years old. Happy with it but considering updating. Does anyone have experience of the revised 2012 model? Is it any better on performance or fuel economy? Obviously you can't go by the official figures.

The 2012 Disco now has a 3.0 twin turbo engine producing 255bhp and an 8 speed auto with paddles on the steering wheel. It's a little better on fuel as the 8 speed box is smoother and more efficient but only marginally.
