I am having similar thoughts. But are they so crazy? The hydractive suspension is quite reliable and there are plenty of specialists about. The engines are good too. The v6 diesel is an Isuzu design and is quite tough, and the v6 petrol, although quite rare, is a proven unit. It's a car designed in the early '00s, so still not packed full of electronics. I'd say that for the money you'd struggle to find a more satisfyingly soft and relaxing barge. I'm seriously tempted.

V6 diesel (2.7 or 3.0) is the same AJD-V6/DT17 as found in JLR products.

I was looking for the 3 ltr diesel
Very rare

Got a C5 with the 2.2 diesel same torque as the 3 ltr down on power by 40bhp.

If you can find one, go for it
