How is the D4 engine? The D3 is great, nice and flexible, loads of overtaking grunt, the D2 made more sense financially as it's a company car but I'm not putting up with a weedy 1.6!

Thanks!
Wife used to have a 2009 S40 2.0D Geartrionic before so a bit more oomph than the 136bhp was on the cards and I (as well as she) finds the D4 very very powerful for the german autobahn's. Overtaking is a pure breeze.
Personally I find the D4 to be perfect! The 5-cyl engine makes a nice growl (as I am sure you know!) and there's plenty of torque too.
The only real downturn for me is the super hard suspension of the R-Design. It's even harder than my trickery suspension (Adaptive Drive) on the 5-series set on Sport or Sport+! But the super comfortable seats with real quality leather make up for it.
