Have you ever been in a D3?  They're massively different;  much more refined inside, drive better, more powerful, handle well (independent suspension), etc.  If you're considering one without having been inside one, that's a must, you'll love it.

Off-road D3s are superb;  time and time again I've seen D3s on standard tyres getting through when just about all others (including my own D2, and Defenders, and swamp-tyred Rangies etc) have been getting stuck.  They're phenomenal.

I reckon about the only thing better would be a D4, if you can afford one.  Reliability wise I haven't had enough experience to comment, but I will say we took one around Iceland for a month and it never skipped a beat, whereas we did have problems with 300tdi and TD5 vehicles.
