Thinking of getting another sport

Been looking for a Series 2 for a while now and think the reality doesn't live up to the childhood dream so..........

Have turned my attention to another Sport but not a RR version Laughing

What I fancy is a Lexus RC 300h F SPORT in Azure Blue Mr. Green

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Ugly looking thing. Shocked 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I can understand that muddy. I'm driving a Censored Disco Sport again because garage didn't do their job last time. I wanted it sorted before an upcoming trip so despite promising myslef not to send the car back until service and put up with their Censored one extra time, I booked it in. So far the signs tell me it's going to be deja vu, even though I explained to the service advisor everything that happened last couple of times and that I didn't want a repeat Banging Head

Too bad no good indie is convenient for me otherwise I would have switched by now, despite the warranty and desire to keep FLRSH. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Get a used M3 Muddy, better looking and you will,save some $. Is the PHEV feeling a bit lacking in performance and driver involvement?

Thanks Nick - I was thinking of going to Specsavers tomorrow reading comments Laughing

I've seen one in the flesh and sat in passenger seat and thought it wasn't that bad - coupled with mid 40s-50s mpg, £20 pa VED, 0-60 of 8.4 seconds, impressive reliability/customer service and 5 years warranty on hybrid bits I'm tempted Mr. Green

I'm looking at used f-type too but my previous JLR experience is making me nervous - plus the extra £10-20k for older vehicle, low 20s mpg and £335 VED Sad 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

Bkhk - sorry I'm not a fan of German jelly moulds - not enough individuality but admit they do drive well - they also used to be well engineered too but that appears to have slipped in recent years

The Lexus is more striking - some hate it obviously but it's grown on me since I got the Mitsubishi

The Mitsubishi has done everything I ask of it and nearly a year has passed without any stress

I'm about to release some money from property and even if I keep the Mitsubishi and buy the RC I will have spent less than a RRS on a nice Coupe and a SUV for winter/practical stuff neither of which will drive me insane visiting dealer with issues

One life - live it........

Don't waste it driving courtesy cars while the dealer lets half wits ruin yours Embarassed

I'm stuck for words Muddy. Mind you, you have kept the Float longer than most members on here thought you would Whistle In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
