My nice dealer was servicing my FL2 today, and i dropped it off first thing and asked

Since its the weekend can i have something with super charged writted on it

Got a Black TDV6 instead, as they don't have a S/C courtesy car

Not sure what spec it is, but has full leather, and satnav bluetooth PTI, but doesn't have heated seats. So i presume a spec'ed up S or SE

Got a call saying they have my car till monday as i need brake pads on all corners and they want to do a little bit more work on some warranty issues too

I ain't complaining with that

At least I'm a proper forum member till monday

Might be difficult to give it back come Monday morning  Speed Limits! not where I live!

Back in a D3

Did have: RRS TDV8 2008.5MY
Did have: Q7 3.0TDi S-Line/Tech/Comms pack
Did Have: Disco3 HSE

Enjoy it!  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

had a nice trip today to costco, found a great parking space next to another 2 RRS, one with Overfinch body kit on Forgot my phone, so no picture

Then this afternoon a trip across Leeds to a 3 years old birthday party, chatting to one of the wifes mates out side before the place opened

I got told i drive a really nice car (even though the dealers names in all over the front door)

I think she used the word POSH too

but, the wife instantly told her it wasn't mine

She could have let me enjoy the moment for at least 30 seconds

Good one, Nick... shows you have a friendly dealer

Must ask my dealer for something with M on it next time the Poxymobile is in for work

Well just had the phone call saying my car is ready, but i have until 6pm

In the past month i have had both a D3 TDV6 & now the RRS TDV6

Both very good cars, and both have a totally different feel to them compared to my FL2 SE

The RRS has been great, comfort level is a little/a lot better than the FL2, even with the base S version with extra bits that they loaned me. The space in the rear was a lot better too, releasing my son from is car seat he had room to stand behind the passenger seat, which he doesn't in mine. (Though i got a little worried when my son was pulling on the door handle whilst strapped in, luckily the car locks the rear when in motion )

The boot is bigger, but the slope of the rear window could have a impact when fully laidened, also with the boot roll out cover when closed it not very high to conceal anything your don't want visible. But not much of a problem that would deter me from one.

The RRS is a drivers car compared to the D3 which is good but not as good IMO

One thing about it is I have never had a car that whilst sat watching TV, I kept getting a urge to go out and have a drive I don't get that feeling with my FL2 or the D3 loaner

And due to that.... The question of would I have one Is a big YES

But i think my 6 numbers would have to roll in from camelot first. Even looking at 2nd hands prices they would be a little too old for my liking when the time to change my company car comes. And that's not even venturing in to company car tax costs or road tax.

But looking at the 1 year old D3 HSE they come in at more my price, but again CC Tax kills that option too

I might have to look at opting out when the time comes, but then the running costs, loans and repairs all come into play, along with our second child cost too.

I have enjoyed my time with it, but as Steve says handing it back going to be hard

Good to have an impartial view of it being worth buying

I think you have just hit the nail on the head...

This is the indescribable feeling the RRS gives you  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Just got back from my dealer, so back in the FL2

On the way there I had job to call on, and gave myself plenty of time to have a drive around the country lanes.

They are all mainly flat and quite wide for lanes, with most having good visability, but get reletivly bendy in places

The RRS handled itself really really well, I wasn't blasting along but, the car changed direction round the bends without feeling anything like a slip or fault whilst doing so.

And the brakes where great at getting a car the size of the RRS to stop

Well I had my fun in it, now back to real life and my FL2

45 others have been and gone!

Would the 'S' version i just gave back have the Dynamic Response?

I cornered like it was on rails, if it hadn't
