Whilst I have a great deal of sympathy with your situation ....it would be nice to be able to read a thread without you linking it to your 11 page thread.

There are other topics and perspectives I would like to read about.....once in a while

Agree on the above - please don't use the forums to constant air your grievances - the thread you have is fine but don't flood please. Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Sarah, i can vouch for the 12 plate model, much improved over the 59-11 plate So if you are seriously thinking of going for the 3.0 litre then go for the SDV6.

Hello from Germany,
I have a new SDV6 since March this year. Now 5000 km on the clock. No problems and I like the car.

Sarah, I am really pleased with my SDV6 too, 9000 trouble free miles so far. 12MY RRS Orkney Grey HSE Lux

I'm sure Beancounter will be along soon too to tell you how wonderful his SDV6 is The newer model has moved on leaps and bounds over the previous models.

Did someone say my name
Yup, definitely a great car, I've got a little over 6k on mine now and it's been brilliant.
I didn't have a previous incarnation of the RRS, but as others have said, the MY12 and later made some great advances.
Take a test drive and I'm sure you'll end up getting one  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Yeap...I have found my MY13 to be an all round great car

Havent bought one (yet) but have had one on a couple of occassions when mine has been in for repairs and have been hugely impressed with the SDV6. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

To me i'd consider the SDV6 a better buy than the TDV8 from my own problems with a short term rental munching its guts, trim falling apart and generally being the worst pile of LR badged poo i've come across

Or spend the extra beans and get a slightly older FFRR TDV8 with more toys and comfort  FFRR Owner, SSRR engine destroyer!(*2) & Creator of SSRR
