Saying goodbye to my RRS

As above, after about 20 months of ownership, my RRS is going in a few days Big Cry It is one of the last pre-facelift 2.7 TDV6 cars which is probably why it never let me down. The vignettes etc. on the windscreen constantly remind us of the memorable holidays it took us to in great comfort.

"Modding" not being my thing (unless for practical reasons), it is a fairly normal HSE which is probably why I never posted any photos here. I thought about time I did that while I still own it Laughing

She will be missed. Hope the replacement is at least as good to us as she's been.

There's nothing wrong with a standard sport Fkarim, It looks very nice, what are you replacing it with?

Thanks Ady. I'm sure too. Although I had one SDV6 as a loan car last year so I know it pretty well already. Well more than one can find out on a mere test drive.

I tried other cars but hoping to say this without offending anyone who is considering/already gone for something else, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Everyone has different priorities and choices.

SQ5: Awesome engine and gearbox but I generally don't drive like an F1 driver so all that power would have been a waste most of the time anyway Laughing Really felt the absence of air suspension too.
X5: Like the looks of it but again, didn't like the suspension too much.
Q7: Almost (if not exactly) as comfortable as the RRS and nice interior but "wasn't RRS".
RRS2: I like the shape now if the colour etc. is good but it was simply too much money when I spec'd it "right".
New FFRR: Love it but price tag again Big Cry

Macan and Cayenne photos don't do anything for me.

Also considered 5 series, A6, XF as we really don't need a 4x4 but the Sport has spoilt us with the excellent driving position and everything else it has so not ready to go to a saloon just yet. May be in a few years time - who knows?

Thanks MW. I am p/exing it so already "sold" unless someone comes along and pays me more than the p/ex price (which is pretty good TBH) for it in the next couple of days. Don't know what Jeremy would say or if that is even a possibility now Laughing
