You will find that going from the torque of the diesel to a small KV6 will be a bit of a culture shock. My wife's just gone from a little diesel ZR to a ZS 180 (KV6) and it took a while for her to get used to using the rev range again.
That said having owned a diesel 75 and now a KV6 powered ZT I really think the extra refinement of the V6 suits the car better.......although I suspect there are some folk who might disagree with me there  |
A fellow member kindly calculated my MPG for me, and I achieve 31 MPG on mixed urban and dual carriageway journeys! Parsimonious compared to my old BMW 730! That was 17MPG...
