Really fancy a 04 plate Shogun elegance i have seen in black, all the bits
sat nav, heated leather etc, Its the auto/tiptronic 3.2 DID

Anybody owned one or had the pleasure of driving one for longer than 10 minutes ?

All opinions greatly appreciated, WW

Had a Brand New one as a courtesy car for a month, Diesel Autromatic full leather all the toys, but it feels like driving a truck.. and it sounds like a transit!!

Is the noise at higher speeds or all the time ?

Hi,

I like these things too and was thinking about getting of, especially the warrior model in silver. Arent the 3.2 diesel's 4 cylinder ? which is why they are nosiey ?? Be interested in the mpg and drivablity, and also if you can put a tunning box on one to increase the bhp.

I did a search around the net for info about this car, its got some good write ups, apart from the noisey, but hey ,its a diesel, if you want a quiet car, go buy one of those eco friendly electric cr ap things :-)

It's noisy all the time, lot noisier than the Range Rover 2.5 Diesel my Dad Had.. It's worse at low speeds, it just seems so agricultural.. more like a land rover defender than a semi luxurious off roader.

Had a SWB Pajero 2.8TD for a while. I know it is not quite the same....BUT

Generally a good day to day driver - BUT gets a bit boring if you want to have fun.

The SWB is a big car with a small interior. If I was doing it again I'd go for a LWB.

Watch the MPG - even the Diesel hits the pocket

Unnecessary oversized 4x4's that aren't really anymore practical then a regular 5 door hatch.

Adds to list of mums with a few more grand than sense.
