The extra tax is irrelevant, its 2 x tanks of fuel over a year..!
But after 2006 you get a better interior and a few more horses, I would trade that
off against 2 tanks of fuel..
The better interior though Will can be retro fitted in the older DE ~ bhp difference between the older/newer DE engine is negligible, plus the UpRev supposedly burns a lot of oil according to some.
Anyway the tax thing wouldn't bother me but it's worth noting as I've heard it annoying some before.
Ye ! I know, I got an April 2006 registered DE apparently its one of the last to roll off the line.
Its got the higher tax, which doesn't worry me, because its such a lovely car, without fault.
