Mazza Vs DS -

[John_M]

Still the best diesel SUV in class though, Col.

As an overall package yes.

Those who think that the SD engine is great I urge you to test drive an X3 with the 35D engine, then come back and report on what you then think.

What you are saying is you can get a faster car therefore SD must be bad - by which token why have anything other than the turbo version.

Surely it should be an X4 with 35D engine - but that'll probably have run flats - personally I am quite happy with performance of X3 3.0D - lots of things went into decision why not spend a little bit more and get 3.5D

Has the new alfa suv competitor been spotted in the uk yet?

If i recall correctly its a few mm larger than the macan, maybe it would have been cleverer to have made it a wee bit smaller thus a baby macan with a lighter price so should any one downsize ......

Yes i had an alfasud in my earlier life, hence more than casual interest.

Not seen it in the UK, but I did see it in N Italy last September.b
