Hi,

Looking at joining the SVR fold. Was there a lot of difference between the two years? Seems to be quite a spread of price difference across the 2.

Thanks

Steve

ok - from memory when I had a 2016 courtesy SVR when my 2015 was in:

- improved front seats - much more comfortable leg/side bolsters on long journeys
- heated seat switch built-in to the twisty heat setting switch (very cool coz its a pain in the ass from the screen)
- an updated rear view mirror. I suspect from the Jag F-type as its very thin and elegant but actually smaller and to me doesn't fit the rest of the interior or size of the car
- wider lcd screen by default.
- SVR badge on the passenger side dashboard.

There might be a few more things but I didn't notice them during the 24 hours I had the 16 plate car...

To be honest the only thing I would really want in my car is the improved seats. the rest doesn't bother me in the slightest. And if you are not doing long trips then it might not be worth the extra outlay. If course - outstanding warranty might become a factor to consider on a 15 plate... SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

Thanks for the input, appreciated.

I'm bidding on two cars at the moment, should have one soon.

The revised ICTP also gives the different TFT dash display. Auto lane control is also there I think, plus 360 degree parking cameras. 

Thanks

Trying to find the right car specification is a challenge

I also remember my 16 one having the rear washer on the reverse camera, I know its a tiny upgrade but it was added over 15 year models i think Current

So 2015 became a 20016 and 2016 became a 2017 so if all goes to plan, pick it up Thursday

Please don't snow too heavily just yet

Congratulations ikey, get some pics up!  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

The deed is done.

Been waiting since 2015 to get into one of these beauties and the drive home (while a little challenging ) was awesome. Had Range Rovers for the last 30 years and this is like nothing else

Looking forward to a long relationship with the one.
