I'm still on the E83, but can contribute here as I've just changed it for an LCI 3.0d M-Sport

FFRR - TDV8 - fantastic car, quiet, refined & comfortable - but, too heavy, too thirsty, rolls too much when pushed, not fast enough for a 3.6 V8, Highest UK road tax band

RRS - TDV8 as FFRR

X5 - just too big, otherwise as the X3

Q5 - boot looked too small, friends who's got one tells me the ride is appalling

Touareg - fantastic car, quiet, refined & comfortable - but, a bit heavy, thirsty, feels uncomfortable when pushed, not fast enough next to the X3, Highest UK road tax band

Cayenne - WANT, just can't afford

X3 - fastest 3.0d of all above, best handling, decent space, good economy, sensible UK road tax band (£200 cheaper than all the above) and that's the E83 - I'm saving for a s/h F25

Evoque - too small inside, feels cramped, uneconomical & slow when compared to a similarly priced X3 (you can get a 3.0d M-Sport for less than a 2.2d Evoque Dynamic)
