Stolen 2007 TDV8.

If I was in the market for a road-only 4x4 then I'd be seriously looking at something like that Porsche. The RRS is going to face serious competition from that in the "I want a fast road-only 4x4" sector... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Porsche's popularity completely baffles me, they are ugly on the outside and the interiors are a deeply depressing sight. I've driven a few in my time and really don't see what the fuss is about; their BMW-esque marketing of "buy our car, it will automatically turn you into a superior driver" seems to be lapped up by men having a middle-aged crisis.

And why anyone would buy the Porsche V8 TDI when they can buy the Q7 V8 TDI (which will be almost identical) for considerably less is beyond me, a point which the PH piece misses even though they compare prices with the RRS...

Sounds like a great choice of 4x4. Servicing is only required every 20,000 miles or 2 yearly so another saving there.

I must admit to being bias here as I changed from a 2010 Sport to a 2012 Range Rover Westminster to a 2014 model Porsche Cayenne S diesel (similar to the road test one) .

The Cayenne has every thing I want while both Range Rovers had things I never used but had to pay for.

Had a test drive of the diesel s model on and off road and it was an impressive car on standard tyres off road and fantastic on road could see one on my drive no problem but just love the RRS  2016 bmw x5 40d m-sport space grey
2015 bmw 335i m-sport touring mineral grey/coral interior looking to change again .
Gone HSE SDV6 Dynamic indus silver, santorini contrast roof,panoramic roof,red brakes,privacy,climate front seats,tow bar great car enjoyed it ����
Gone my10 3.0 tdv6 Bali blue/ivory 5 years 24k no problems great car will be missed

If I needed something that big, I'd definitly take a test drive in one of these as well as a RRS2.

For me though, the SQ5 is still trying to lure me in  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Even tempted to go and have a look.....................but must resist! Not had new car for a month yet

Much has been written about the huge size of the Cayenne S Diesel, but compare the facts against the old and new Sport models.

Dimensions (mm) Cayenne New RRS Old RRS

Length 4846 4850 4783

Width 1939 2073 2004

W+mirrors 2155 2220 2158

Height 1705 1780 1789

So apart from being 63mm longer than the old RRS, the huge Cayenne is smaller in every other dimension than both old and new Sport models.

Maybe the new RRS should be referred to as the Gigantic Sport.

Sorry the spaces entered between the dimensions all disappeared once posted.
