I'm currently running a L322 FFRR and have a RRS on order. You have to choose your parking spots with care but I don't find the FFRR too bad in multi storey carparks. The vehicle is straight edged and you sit up high so you can easily see all 4 corners. The other plus factor is that the doors are relatively short and again because you sit up high, I find squeezing in and out easier than with a low saloon car. I don't expect my new RRS to feel much different. I certainly find parking the FFRR and getting in/out easier than my previous Audi A8 which was both very long and low slung

If it´s too big, you bought the wrong car... SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

I was wondering whether anyone here is finding the RRS too big? I know size matters and all that but it is one huge car - I watched someone trying to negotiate the tight corners in the Bath Podium multi-storey car park. I didn't hang around to see if it all ended in tears but it got me thinking.

Thinking about getting a RRS - it does seem big inside - bigger than wifeys Shogun. Suppose it's what you get use to. Mult-stories - noooo. After really clipping my A6 alloys never again, I avoid them  2001 Black Porsche 911 turbo

Mark,
Driving along normal roads with little or no obstacles you don't notice the girth so much (as was pointed out it is exactly the same width as the FFRR so its a pretty big car.......for the UK anyway).

However, we do find it big when it comes to maneuvering through tight roads in town, not to mention the fact that most multi-storey UK car parks are a down right nuisance due to their poor design, small size or both.

We now tend to take one of the smaller cars into town now and on that note I've already ordered a Macan S diesel to replace our Evoque so we always have a plan B.

Weird!

The official papers for my cars here in Sweden says :

Range Rover Supercharged 2010 - 5035 / 1956 / 1988 (L/W/H)

When parked together the FFRR seems a lot bigger!
