need some in put about what to get an rr or the rrsport?

hello am guessing that this topic has be cover before. but i cant seem to find any good info.
i went to a main dealer,check both the rr and the rrs. but it is very confusing, to choose
i did not test drive none. as i know they drive great bass on what i read

i like the back end shape of the rrsport. but i like the interior or the rr.
i also prefer the actual phone buttons in the rrsport over the touch screen input in the rr.

so if any one knows of a web page where i can compare the 2 cars in-terms of electronic features ,i would really appreciate it.
or any one who owns both. could tell me which one they prefer.
also i know its a rrs forum and most people would go for the sport.
so plz give me your honest input base on comfort and electronic gadgets features.

Pros and cons of each... but it's all subjective really. Even though we're an RRS forum, you won't find many of us who wouldn't be happy driving a FFRR - let us know which you decide to go for!

Remember the RR will be replaced soon. LR are giving £2.5k deposit at the moment on them. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I wouldn't go for a FFRR, afraid I don't like them. Too big and look like they have an overweight behind. Shocked

If the sport didn't exist I'd still be an Audi driver!

But then maybe I'm not on the same wave length as others on the Forum when it comes to the FFRR Embarassed Laughing Current: I can't say...Oh the Shame!

I'd choose the RRS over a FFRR, but there's no denying the FFRR is a cut above in terms of spec, comfort etc. If they could merge the two and end up with a FFRRS then it would be the perfect car... and more expensive of course.

Well I was going to stay out of the mud slinging, but seeing as others haven't here goes.

We run 6 RR's, the Sport whilst a good looking vehicle is not a patch on the FFRR, horses for courses, RRS is an X5 beater - a drivers car. FFRR is in the class of a Bentley, whilst I do like both vehicles, the Sport has a cheap interior and resembles a Ford Mondeo - just look at the switchgear, steering wheel and take it from there.

Whether LR in the long term bring out a RRS on a par with a FFRR in quality terms is debatable - maybe they wish to maintain some disparity between the two.

If you want a sports car that handles well go for the RRS, if you want a spacious, comfortable and luxury vehicle, that smooths out every bump there is only one - get yourself a Vogue.

Me I could, and have afforded either - imho for my lifestyle and what I want and need there is no choice. I couldn't fit 5 gentlemen, guns and dogs in the back of a Sport and go wafting around in comfort in the Cairngorms.

Vogue you are right in some ways. My only reason for not recommending the RR is that it looks dated and is due to be replace soonish. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Yes he does. Coming from a 911 to a TDV8 RRS I can vouch for that. There are other ex 911 owners on the forum that have said the same thing. The RRS with DR may not be the best 'sports' car in the world, but it handles itself pretty well, especially in TDV8 and S/C mode. Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.

I'd have a RR over a RRS, however the RRS suited my budget - imo the RR is a much nicer place to be than the RRS. I'd have a RR now if it wasn't for wifey not liking the look of them from the back Sad
