Finally got my hands on one :-)

Dealer is sorting my tailgate and has lent me this Cool

First impressions -

38 mpg coming home - not bad Very Happy

Seems to lean a bit more on corners than MY13 I have Confused

Feels and looks very similar to Vogue now so wondering if I would fork out £20k more Shocked

Very quiet but floor it and engine sounds pretty good Cool 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

Swmbo is but only bought current rrsport a year ago and depreciation will be a killer plus had to replace faulty caravan this year so coffers are a bit depleted right now Sad

Last year I had a vogue loaner and she wanted that, this year a new RRS and she wants this - just hoping nobody loans me a Bentley or Aston Martin next Laughing

Maybe better avoid HGLR just in case - it could get expensive Shocked 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

I think it will tend to lean on corners unless it has the active roll bar that comes in the dynamic package. Mark

I have decided I can live without the rotary knob too - much easier to flick across for sport and change D-R, etc Embarassed

Muddy do you think it feels as ' special " to drive as your my13 . I ask because I had one for a day on a land rover experience day and I liked it but it to me did not feel as special as my my12 .

I miss the Dynamic when cornering so think I would add it as an option or go for the version with it but then the cost starts to get scary Shocked

Sitting in the cockpit I think the Vogue and the RRS are maybe too similar - the only noticeable difference is the seats are softer in the Vogue and the price Confused

The boot space is probably too small for me - I struggle with my current RRS when loaded up for caravan trip Sad

The exhaust note sounds better and I think it addresses some of the niggles on the old model but is it worth the extra money - I'm not sure - certainly not this year as the cost to change from MY13 to RRS2 would be ridiculous. When I'm ready to change I wont rule it out now though - well if I can find a dealer who won't break anything on it Rolling Eyes

I drove the Vogue SE TDV8 recently on LRE day - now that felt special Twisted Evil 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

United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

I have the HSE Dynamic MY14

Even without switching to Dynamic mode it corners flat with little body roll.

Not sure his others judge the level of roll but for me the exit from the M25 to the M40 N Bound is a good test. The RRS2 passed that test with flying colours inspiring confidence and not worrying the passengers. MY2010 TDV8 purchased Jan 2017
MY14 HSE Dynamic 3.0 SDV6 sold Sept 2015
MY 2010 TDV8 sold April 2014
