how anyone could own one of these after a RRS I just can't possibly understand, like chalk and cheese. whistle:

I think the answer lies somewhere in the £30k -£35k price differential

I've seen a few negative reviews on discosportforum about F pace saying DS is better and cheaper so didn't bother looking

Hardly surprising that DS owners think the DS is better than the competition...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Just go out and buy the PHEV, no one at Land Rover will care and it will make a change to read about how good a Mitsubishi is rather than BMW 3 Series Tourings we read about that are now taking LR customers .............. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Well I've gone and done it

Deposit paid and in 2 weeks I'm turning Japanesa

Will post details of DS in case anyone fancies it before dealer tears it away from my clenched fingers and adds their profit again

Not sure how long it will last and if I see a DS phev appear next year I will scream and scream and scream

You will need to constantly let us know the MPG and zero running costs Muddy. Preaching your new found frugality will become your hobby. You must get your F type as the PHEV will give you zero pleasure to drive, they are very boring.

Mind you, having driven a DS over the weekend, I almost see why you have done it. Driving a DS seemed no different from a Kia Sorrento to me. Having not had an LR product for 5 years now since I sold my RRS, I was surprised at how run of the mill and mundane they have become for inflated prices. The LR brand seems to have gone downmarket, mass appeal instead of being special. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

Gone for a Gx4h in grey - looks like Stornoway

Nice colour and sensible spec Nanocom Evo

Well, following on from my XC90 phev test drive which I loved, I had an F-Pace S for 48 hours.

Oh my goodness. I loved it. I'll be staying with JLR for my next motor, but alas it will only be the Jaguar bit!

When I am honest and look at how many times I used my RRS2 off road, it was 3 times in the last 3 years, and that's just because I could.

The 3lt F Pace looked fantastic, handled even better, and will do everything I need it to.

I loved the XC90, but the 2lt 4 pot derv lets it down. Had it of had a larger derv engine I very likely would have went for that, but at £60k, it's steep money for a Volvo. The F-Pace S is essentially the same money which adds a few extras into the mix too. 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

Good choice Muddy, same model and colour as mine (apart from the fact that mine is the first generation)

You won't regret it, especially when you see the savings made over the DS  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant
