The D5 is only marginally faster, but it is a bit noisier and more expensive to tax and insure. For the D4, road tax is only £30.

Also you won't find a 2016 D5.

A 2016 D3 will be slower and possibly slightly less refined because the engine doesn't have balancer shafts to cancel out the opposing forces that a 4-cylinder engine produces.
Is the 8 speed box the ZF one?
