Elites are the softest sprung model in the range, and self levelling at the rear does nothing to help in the corners and over bumps, possibly as its so slow to transfer air from side to side which works against the soft springs on the front, it seems to me.

It is extremely comfortable if driven sedately though, and sl controls the rear ride height very well.

Depends what the owner wants out of life really. IMO, being a "cake and eat it" type of guy I prefer the Elite for its toys and interior, then sort the suspension to taste. Personally, I would not buy the mv6 and then add the toys the Elite has, as I'm useless with electrics. But that's just me.

Shame mv6's are so rare these days though, they do drive well.

All seemed ok till i slipped it into sport mode and gave it some beanz , burning oil smell that was all too familiar  Got back to the garage an popped the hood to find you guessed it .. both rocker gaskets dripping onto fanimould  Header tank looked like pure water in it  , apart form that nothing amiss but he wouldnt come down on price  Offered him a realistic price and walked away , the cars still for sale so will give him a ring in a day or two . Easy fix for me but i will let him stew for a bit
