Hi can anyone help with a bit of advice. I know it is not the best time to buy a NEW 4x4 but I am going to get one. I have narrowed the research down and I am torn between the RRS HST 3.6D with TV, DVD and side step in Storway Grey and the BMW X5 3.0 SD in the Blue Black with all the toys.

I have negotiated a 10% discount on the RRS and the cost difference between the 2 vehicles is negligable.

I tend to keep my cars for around 5 years and average around 20k a year.

What would you guy's go for?

err ...... do you realise you've come to a RRS forum?

I'll take a guess and say the general consensus will be go for the RRS

btw, welcome to the forum and enjoy your new RRS when you get it

Fpr gods sake don't buy an X6, f g ugliest piece of s t i've ever seen. The Infiniti FX50 is much better looking (But badge obviously not as 'Prestigious').

Buy the RRS, although there is no denying the X5, especially sd model is a great car but drive them back to back and see which is the finer diesel engine.......  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Wise words trotster. You ever considered a career in motor journalism? Clarkson - your jobs safe son...

That's the thing to do... drive both back to back and see which you prefer. TDV8 is MUCH sweeter than the BMW unit. The BMW probably edges it in the driving stakes, but will commit suicide the moment you wander off the tarmac of course

what a stupid question, he should now that the X3 is the best thing ever off road, go buy one of them, then look out clarkson on top gear when he revieved it...

My biggest regret in life is not getting a KIA SORENTO, it looks better, drives better and has a certain elegance......people will look at you in your KIA SORENTO and know you have made it.
