I have owned my D90 for over 2.5yrs now and done a couple of owner reviews myself. All initial issues I had were long ago now, I think us first customers were the testers 😅 Also I would have said the T60 was based on the D90, not the other way around 🤔 I have the EliteDrive Power Module and Throttle controller which made a positive difference!

I've put a deposit on one of these (the executive diesel model) and was impressed with the test drive. What I really liked overall about the D90 is that it felt solid which the Rexton I auditioned didn't. SAIC, who make the D90 have been around since 1955. The engine is made by a reputable Italian company, the transmission is borrowed from VW I believe and the electronics come from a variety of sources. With the 10 year warranty and roadside assist which I paid a little bit extra for I feel that I'm well covered. I looked at the Prado equivalent (according to features) and it's over double the price.

My other gripe is connecting phones. If you have an android forget about it. The car wants you do download an app that Samsung won't download because it doesn't trust it so it's bluetooth only.
