Anyone got any experience here and can recommend one over the other? My initial thought is diesel, it’s a big heavy SUV after all but I haven’t driven the petrol version yet to compare.
Also, I’ve read somewhere the earlier D5 engined cars suffered from a sluggish gearbox at times, particularly when rolling to a junction and then wanting to pull out. Does anyone know if the B5 cars suffer from the same problem?
Thanks

I bought one approved used 2 months ago on a 69 plate. Love it. Big car with adequate performance and reasonable economy. No issues with sluggish gearbox.Mine is pretty much fully loaded, love the B&W sound system.
