RRS test drive - first impressions

Hi Everyone,

I had a test drive today in the new RRS, and I was seriously impressed. The gear change was extremely smooth and the steering felt more responsive than my Freelander 2. The cabin was a lovely place to be, the panoramic sunroof lets light flood in and the dashboard looks awesome with the digital speedo!

I am very tempted to place an order, but I will do some sums and have a long think about it first. The other alternative would be to wait a year and buy one that is a few months old, but I don't know if I would be able to wait that long!

This is my ideal spec;

I will try and avoid black this time because I fancy a change. Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more... Twisted Evil

Gone but not forgotten:

2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

We popped into Hillendale at the weekend for a nosey but no test drive so cant comment on that.

The Autobiography inside was stunning, love the black headlining and other new touches, They had the quilted style seats too.... amazing! £80K!!!

For me though there was one outside in black with an extra black package which looked the dogs dangles!

We have an off road experience day in the new sport booked for next month so i'll wait until then for a drive. TDV8 RRS HST in Java - Gone
TDV6 RRS Autobiography in Bali blue - Gone
TDV6 RRS Autobiography Dynamic - Current

I have a test drive planned in 2 weeks to kill the time waiting for mine. Next week is the launch event too, so that will be nice to attend too. Very looking forward to it!

Thanks for sharing the experience!

Big enough for me! It's only the wife and I at the moment, but the extra space would be useful! Wink Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more... Twisted Evil
