MSE - I'm looking at swapping our RRS soon and have always liked the D4. How does the ride compare ? I assume softer and a bit more comfortable as a result ? FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

I wouldn't say its any more or less comfortable - I found the sport comfortable.

The seats seem softer a little

It doesn't handle as well is my observation - I never really hammered the sport, but you could put it round corners better im sure and it always felt on rails...the disco doesn't have that.

Ive only just taken it past 1k miles of just moving out of the breaking it in phase.

All in im pleased and its got loads of space Mike

For me it was a practical (head) vs style/looks (heart) type argument. I previously had a Porsche 911 but needed more space as just had a daughter, but felt that the disco was jumping too far from the sporty stylish to far too practical. So decided on the RRS as it has ample space for my little family (first child).

I certainly can see the appeal of the disco though. If I had 2 or 3 kids I think that would have been the choice.

We test drove a D4 last year and it soaked up the bumps better than the rrs but bounced a bit and wallowed on the corners so went for another sport

I do miss the space though  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

We don't have any kids - It does have a massive load space and the split tail gate is great. Being able to fit in 7 adults is really useful in proper seats Mike
