I would welcome any feedback on the RRS and how you feel about them now you have one as I am somewhat on the fence now between the RRS and a Porsche Macan S Diesel. Me and the missus very much like both cars and the price, etc, is pretty much the same. Obviously with the VW scandal etc, the Porsche is not without its issues either until things become clearer but their service aftersales in my experience is second to none whereas my past experience with LR like yourself has not.


I don't believe you are comparing apples with apples when comparing an RRS2 and Porsche Macan. The only real comparison is between the RRS HSE and a Cayenne Diesel. These vehicles are of comparable power and size. The Macan is quite a bit smaller than an RRS and would be more comparable to the new Disco Sport.

I owned a Cayenne Diesel S (2012 model) prior to purchasing the the RRS. Why did I change? The principal reason for changing was the distance I had to travel to get to a dealer. The closest is in Aberdeen, which is a 210 mile round trip. However, I didn't need to use them for anything other than planned maintenance during my ownership period. When I did the dealers (Porsche Centre Aberdeen - Peter Vardy), were excellent. Always had a replacement car available, appointments made according to my convenience, never any problems with work not performed etc. etc. In addition to this, when I did sell the car, I only lost £10,000 in depreciation over 2 years and 4 months ownership!!! You'll loose that much on an RRS after the 4 months!!!

The thing that really turned me against another Porsche was price. Initially when you look at the purchase price of both basic vehicles they seem comparable. However with the Porsche - Metallic Paint £900 extra, Infotainment System (other than a basic radio) - £2,200 extra, FULL Leather interior - £1,800 extra, blah di blah di blah. When you really start comparing the two vehicles the Porsche comes out as being a LOT more expensive for not a lot more performance.

I am very happy with my RRS HSE. I feel it is better value for money and provides everything I need as standard (well almost!) with the added benefit of having the most northerly LR dealer (MacRae & Dick who have provided flawless service to date) just 4 miles from the house.

Don't know if this helps you out at all, but from my experience, I am very satisfied. Not sure this will be the same when I come to change the car in a couple of years time given the probable depreciation!!!

Thanks to all for the feedback, and especially Jock as you gave a good feel from both sides of the fence. It has been very helpful in keeping me on track.
