A comparison I've done with a diesel Evoque owner is that my 10000 miles a year costs £600 more in fuel than his does. That difference might double with the 5.0 SC compared to the SDV6 but it's really nothing in comparison to the depreciation over 3 years. By comparison, my Porsche dealer has just quoted to p/ex my 911 for a new one and that car has depreciated by TEN times the cost of the fuel I've put in it over 4 years.

Legislation out of Brussels and a likely change of Government here will spoil our fun soon enough so there's no reason not to go for the SC and if I am accused in the future of using up the last drop of oil, I'll be happy to hold my hand up.

Besides, 200kph in Germany is my idea of fun  Mark

Well said. Plus doing your bit by not producing all the nasty NOx emissions that the government are now using as a reason to lower our speed limits.
