Touch wood both run really well, mine is the D4 I definetely prefer the D4 engine, I like the extra power, having said that I've been pleasantly surprised by the D2 its not the quickest, but once up to speed it will cruise fine at 75-80mph.

Economy wise I'm not sure theres a lot in it, both the cars are £30 to tax for the year, and I think they do pretty much the same mpg, the D4 is maybe a little better on a run as its lower rpm at motorway speeds. Reset the trip both and then did similar journeys 2-3 hours motorway journey, D2 averaged 47, D4 average 49, so really theres not much in it.

My partner loves her D2 (mainly as it has every signed option available at the time added to it), but I chose a D4 with less toys over a better spec'd D2 as I wanted the D4 engine.

Do you regret sacrificing toys for engine choice?

I just did that jumping from my S60 SE Lux to my S40 T5 SE...My S40 is pretty bare bones in comparison and sometimes it irritates me when I think about it!
