Dynamic SD4 Manual
Just ordered a Dynamic SD4 Manual.
Although I appreciate that the majority of buyers will probably go for the auto, which I have had in several LR's over the years, I feel that the manual will provide a potentially more sporting / involved drive.
Also, theoretically, the fuel consumption should be slightly better.... every litlle helps!!
Anyone had the chance to drive a manual yet?
Any comments / views greatly received!
Many Thanks, Chris.
On order: Dynamic SD4 Manual Coupe, Orkney Grey, Black Roof, Privacy Glass, Vortex Int, Ebony Headlining.
Delivery: Was 25/11/11, Currently 28/12/11..............

RE: Dynamic SD4 Manual
The auto is faster 0-62 than the manual.................. according to the stats
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Dynamic SD4 Manual
That's probably down to quicker changes in the automatic. I assume there's two manual gear changes to 60. Torque converters are much less slushy than they used to be. I am confused about who makes the auto box though. Some say Aisin Warner, others ZF. Any info?

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR
