That should be the natural start position for the DS. I must admit I do like the Dynamic, I fancy one in Firenze Red with Red interior. I'm having doubts about the D5 but I can't bring myself to leave the brand, it's just the lower seating position of DS I struggled to get used to. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

The DS dynamic does look miles better with the styling pack. What doubts you having about then D5? My eldest brother had placed an order for the 1st Edition it will be built in January and be ready at dealer for 1st March 2017.

The red interior on the DS is a let down I much prefer my FL2 ebony/pimento.

I've just got this niggle, perhaps once I drive it and get a better chance to look at it. My one goes into build on the 10/3/17 with delivery expected before the new VED but it looks like April delivery. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

A lot more space in that center cubby hole if you pull out that cup holder. Chap at Land Rover Experience showed me that trick.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

Shame the Pure doesn't come with an auto option the DS as it stands is too expensive for me

You liked your Disco, you really didn't like your top spec DS, you went back to a D4 SE in a great colour and now you're looking to go back to something that's basically an up sized DS. I can understand your "niggle".

Not only are you giving up the last new D4 you'll ever get your hands on, but you're effectively moving back to a DS! I'd be running a mile!

The DS is too expensive for what it is

That applies to all LRs at the moment. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Sadly, you are right

And if all the posts are to be believed on the DS forum (not linked to this site) it appears to not be a premium product for a premium price..would still like one though but needs to be under £30K

I've had two as loan cars, they are comforable, spacious, bit plasticky, no, a lot plasticky but way way overpriced.

I'm possibly swapping mine in 2017, depends on tax etc.
Three cars stand out at present for different reasons that I keep coming back to, although I also miss the high driving position I could be tempted.

Merc E350e hybrid, very nice, high lease prices but electric only will get me to/from office, not AWD which I need really, need to speak to accountant, as it may make sense.
Volvo V90 gorgeous interior and AWD need to have a good look in the flesh, my V70 was awesome.
Audi S5 sportback, 350bhp Quattro and cheaper lease, might be a option, and that noise

Diesels will be hit and banning them from city centres might be an issue if that happens quickly, so looking at petrol or hybrid.

Disco Sport has limited engine choice and is too expensive for what it is.
F Pace doesn't look good on the road and is getting bad reviews over its tech.
RRS possible but hybrid too expensive, it would be my dream car but head must rule my heart with that I feel ( )
Nothing else turning my head at present
