D3 TDv6 v R Class 320d
This week's Autocar has a back to back test of the D3 and R class.
The D3 does most things well in comparison to the R Class except power/economy and weight....................... but the verdict from Autocar is
"The Disco is too special not to win" mainly because of it versatility and ride quality.Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

Whats the point of the R class?
Can't really get my head around the concept of the R-class? Why a long estate 6 seater 4x4 that cannot off road??? and not put extra seats in the M-calss???

Disco that A/C tested was £43495, Merc R Class was £42970
There is also a nice header over the techy details of both cars which sums up the R Class nicely.............
