The Disco 4 SDV6 is a very good family wagon. I had one for 18 months in TDV6 form. I can't say I feel the RRS in SDV6 form is quicker but definitely not slower and the 8-speed gearbox certainly feels smoother to me.

I decided it was just a little too truck-like in the end and while its space is desirable to many, not to me really. Still a great vehicle though that appears to lend itself to off-roading better albeit in practice it is no better sharing the same platform.

Merry Xmas to you too! Current car: Porsche 911 Carrera S PDK (997.2) Past Car: (MY12) Range Rover Sport HSE SDV6 - Orkney Grey with Almond interior
Bike:Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

Cheers, will be back in bucks on the 29th Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

The Sport has adaptive dynamics and is slightly lower...these make a significant difference in terms of handling. The Disco 4 was awful at roundabouts and twisty B-roads betraying its truck-like characteristics whereas the RRS is much more car-like.

yep I'm aware of those goodies Mike

to be honest i have not noticed anything alarming on the roads of South Devon, its behaved impeccably in some very severe weather conditions.. although has mentioned a Sport would no doubt have the edge on a dry day, in the current weather conditions, the wet is a great leveler  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

They're aimed at different markets really...if they made the D4 as good on road as the RRS then there'd be no need for the RRS in the line-up!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

i certainly would not want to try and test the differences in the current conditions in the south west  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I wonder which one handles better under sail!!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Unfortunately the sport is just as good off road...really they are aimed at different markets - one is for people with class and style and the other for tarmac sellers. ... seriously you get my point  Mike
