| Which? Magazine hates the D3 (and all RR products?) |
|
Two years ago when buying a new TV we looked on Which? website and downloaded their reports. Inadvertently we subscribed and never bothered to cancel.
This months mag has a 'best car you can buy' supplement.
Based on their 'sample owners survey' the D3 is #1 on the chart of cars with most expensive problems (ahead of ageing Mercs, BMWs and RR).
Turn to page 29 and the D3 gets another slamming as top of the table of worst 4x4 (> 3 years old) you can buy.
OK, I know our cars can be costly at times but are they really that much more expensive than equivalents? I know mine isn't, and it's 10 years old.
Then looking at cars which are top of the 'best' tables reveals all about Which? editorial values and their readership: CR-V, the RAV4, Qashquai, Lexus RV, Hyundai Santa Fe. All dull as ditchwater.
But no doubt perfect for the retired bank managers and civil servants that make up Which? readerships...
Subscription finally cancelled.

Mine is ridiculously reliable. 9.5 years old, engine modded. I've owned it since new and it is the best car I've ever had.
