Just thought I'd come on ph for a sanity check. Im currently driving my second RR tdv8 vogue, and it ticks all my boxes for a work car, apart from performance nd the cost of diesel.

Now on Wednesday I went down to top gear, and drove my mates gtr back to Leeds. The performance v cost was staggering, and I had a stupid grin on face all the way back. The other surprises were, even after a spritely drive, that we got 25mpg, against the vogues 19 on average. Also the interior was more European in finish and quality than most jap stuff I've driven.

I'm wanting a comfy, entertaining, sub £55k, and little bit practical car, and it seems to come down to a leggy rs6 or a much newer gtr.

But would appreciate your comments before I go shopping this aft

DMS do a very nice tuning package for the TDV8. If it's the new 4.4 it transforms it. Power up to 370bhp+.

Or get the GTR!

In answer to your question i have had my GTR now for 4 months and it is everything you would want,ballistic quick and i mean ballistic,comfy quality interior with neat touches(like when you press any switch and all is explained through the mfd which has wonderful graphics)everything is so modern inside,regularly go shopping in mine,good on fuel..etc i could go on but so much has been said of this car i dont really need to.
If you dont go for one you really would be missing out.
