How can the RRS be scored less than a D3? Apart from the slight limits on approach, departure and breakover angles.... oh, hang on, that might be important, right?

Some pretty unsophisticated replies on there so far .... ![]() http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post444932.html#444932 I get just the teeniest feeling that your average D3 owner isn't a big fan of RRS's or their drivers. OR am I just imagining this ? RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini Disco 4 TDv6 HSE Ipanema Defender 90, 200tdi CSW |

Like when? (in real life - not in the theoretical World of concrete ramps that just happen to be at 29.5 degrees instead of 29 degrees... ![]() Swings and roundabouts which is the better in different situations, but in any case there certainly shouldn't be two stars difference between the two! Same chassis, same suspension, same Terrain Response system, same wheels and tyres, same HDC, etc... |

Better on wet grass actually... (small matter of nearly a tonne weight difference helps) ![]() ![]() |

if grunt is required then clearly the RRS TDV8 wins

So if I want to get a caravan then a freelander is my best bet on a wet grassy campsite |

Hmm, indeed I did notice that since that insightful chart was published on LROI, my RRS has started stumbling and having problems climbing over 4-star things off road. |

Who cares what a magazine full of adverts think? If you like your car you've got the best one! The RRS is a great car, I need more carrying capacity so I have a D3 - I didn't buy it because LRO says it was better than a RRS |

One thing in favour of the RRS is it is the narrowest of all Land Rovers bar the Defender...............................
