anyone have a s/c and wish they bought a diesel?

so im just asking as i bought a tdv6 05 which im thinking of selling, however i love the car but having come from a m3 i have tried for 7 months and i need power, so wondering really if anyone had the oposite and fancied a swap cash either way, mine is a very nice looking one fully colour coded buckingham blue hse, will list in the for sale.

mpg is just no issue as its a 2nd/3rd car as i have a van and mrs has her car, so im thinking of swapping it for either a 4.2sc. 5.0sc or a ml63, just thaught mybe someone has a sc that is doing their head in economy wise. i love the space (have a 2yr old) compared to the m3 but the diesel just does nothing for me

No S/C owner could ever say they wished they never bought it, not afford the fuel maybe though !  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

i just wondered if anyone was regretting their purchase of a supercharged if they used it alot!

i need power wish i had waited and found a supercharged originally, my milage is so little ive used only £400 worth of diesel since october Sad , so could of easily had a charger and out of the £400 its got 1/2 a tank in now.

i need more power Laughing

i had a old supercharged, loved it!

this time round i thought i would be sensible and got a 2010 3.0 tdv6 and the mpg is rubbish about 16mpg. Kinda wish i got the supercharged again....

16mpg? That sounds like you have a problem - even in town use you should get more than that. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
