Final Decision

Well after months of research i am off to the local Landrover Dealer to buy a car. What will I buy? Well i'm still not 100% sure but this is what i have been thinking.

1. BMW X5 a great drive but one dimensional. I think the quality, and inclusiveness of this car are hard to beat, but is it an allrounder? I dont think so.
2. RRS TDV6 a great car but with so many options needed to make it equipped like a $95K car should be , i feel a little cheated. Still its a beautifull car to look at drive and hopefully own.
3. Disco 3. I own an fairly ordinary Series II V8 Disco, but it is no relation to the new model. If it wasnt for the badge i would not have guessed. I think it feels slightly poderous on the road and no where near as nimble as RRS, but flexible, wow, This car is spacious, comfortable competent and capable. It does have the prestige of RRS but in HSE format its mighty close.

If anyone can push me over the line with the descision please let me know. I do 30K per year in southern and central Queensland have 2 children and a dog. We're all Jock Tamsons Bairns

Australia 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Welcome Robbiemyboy,

I too did the X5, Disco 3, ML320 CDI and the RRS TDV6. All were very nice to drive and had their own little niceties and I could have quite easily owned any of them, although as you say the Beamer and the Merc don't have that all-round ability. Confused

Then you have the two LR's. Both have that all-round class. Mix it in the rough or cruise on the open road. Razz The thing that tipped it for me was the sheer sexiness and class of the RRS. It is such a pleasure to drive that it is hard to stay out of. I work away for three weeks at a time but when I get home all I want to do is drive around all day. Have only had it out in the scrub a couple of times but on the gravel back roads it is unbelievable. I just love it. Cool

I am a bit biased I suppose towards Rangies as this is my 4th and I still have 1988 Hiline for the really rough days. I have had a great run out of all my Rangies and the RRS is by far the best yet.

Mate whether it is the Disco 3 or the RRS you just can't go wrong with either. If you don't need that extra space then take the plunge for the RRS, you will have a permanent grin on your face like me. Very Happy
Your a long time gone. Cool 2006 RRS TDV6, Java/Alpaca, Dynamic Response Pack, Tow Pack, Head and Tail light protectors, 20" Stormers, Roof Rails, S/C Grill and Side Vents, Tasmods. AutoLogic mod.
1988 RR Highline, 3.5 EFI Arctic White, ARB Bullbar, Roof Rails, 15" Alloys, Front and Rear light Grilles, Side steps. (Still going strong)

RRS or D3? If you need a big boot go for the D3 if you want to have fun the RRS! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
