It was Dynamic mode that finally settled my mind about moving from a saloon acknowledged to be one of the best for its ride/handling (XF) to a RRS.
I do enjoy some "corner carving" on a regular basis, and every time I tried a RRS I came away feeling, um, unenthused.
And then I was allowed to try one with the full Dynamic pack, selected the relevant mode, and picked it up by the scruff of its neck and hurled it around some deserted country lane corners.
Remarkable. Revelationary even. The way JLR have managed to get this tall, heavy, ungainly (compared to any sports coupe) SUV to get around corners is remarkable, and I mean when you use all the technology involved, like dynamic mode, torque vectoring, stability control, anti roll, the works.
Made me realise why the journos go on about it so. So I specified the HSE Dynamic and am beginning to look forward to its arrival, much as I love my XF (and still enjoy the way that goes around corners). MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
