Traded in my old RRS for this one yesterday:

Looks very nice.

What's it like to drive compared to your previous RRS? 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

2012 RRS SDV6 HSE -Orkney Grey with A/B bodykit - Now Gone
2007 RRS TDV6 HSE - Zermatt Silver - Gone

Thanks JasM.

Huge difference but that's hardly surprising. That was a 6 speed 2.7 TDV6. This is an 8 speed 3.0 SDV6. Engine feels more refined (revving or idling).

Gear changes were already very smooth in my old one but this takes it to another level.

Accelerates much quicker as 65 more horses make an obvious difference. No turbo lag anymore. Makes a much nicer sound when you boot it in Sport mode

Haven't used dynamic mode on proper twisty roads yet but I remember it was superb when I had the SDV6 for a few days last year.

+/- pedals in the steering wheel are great. I didn't use command shift much in my old one because the only way I knew to move between command shift and auto was to move the gear lever left/right. Never felt like a quick enough operation to me. Now I can just use the flappy pedals without moving my hands off the wheel. Switching back to auto (D) is as simple as holding the + pedal for a few seconds

My old one had a good enough suspension to make me reject the idea of changing to any of the competitors I tried but this is even better. Could be due to age - it is 4 years newer than my previous.

Very happy with everything else too.

Looks very nice, the more you drive it the nicer it will feel. Great improvement over the earlier model, enjoy it MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

Looks yummy!

Someone nicked your gear stick though.  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Thanks for the comments and re gear stick. I try to rest my hand "there" and it just goes down. Will get used to it soon but for now it does feel a bit incomplete.

Looks nice. haha I'm the same ATM keep going to rest my hand on gear stick,I also keep going to tern off where the key wld normally be.

Welcome to the Elite club

Looking good

Have to say coming from MY10 I thought the BEd was miles ahead in refinement so must be a big jump from the 2.7

The rotary gear shift is cool I think the new model RRS gear stick is a backwards step - looks old fashioned now IMHO  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Congrats on the new purchase.

Still a super smart looking motor MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

Very nice.

I still love the look of the Mk1 RRS, and I nearly bought a nice Baltic Blue MY13 back in August! Ended up ordering a new one instead!

Enjoy  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

Very nice fkairm
Its looking like the SDV6 it the more popular choice over the overpriced RRS2. Enjoy, its a cracking motor. Find a nice twisty quiet road that you know, put it in Dynamic mode, everything stiffens up, put it in sports box, use the paddle shift and go and enjoy the ride. Great fun.

Thanks all.

Ady TBH if it was just about choice and no other factors involved, it would have been RRS2 (as it does look great in the right colour etc. and is a better car inside out) or the new FFRR. But this is a great improvement on my previous RRS so I am happy

That grey looks stunning ... One of the best colours
