I kept Swmbos FL1 until it was 5 years old but I bought it nearly new - I would of kept MY10 RRS for 5 years but lost faith after dealer dropped it off ramp on 3rd service so it went 4 year old

I'm definitely tempted, 5 year warranty and 8 on the battery , would have to sell my RRs private as whilst they were amazed with the condition they would only send it to auction.
On the way back something started slipping in my gearbox, hoping my warranty covers it. Nanocom Evo

why not just get a Lexus RX450h

Only 3 years warranty and more expensive so no weekend toy

At least all the new RRS models now come with 5 years free servicing as well as all the other improved warranty etc. John

Man up Muddy! Buy a RRS1 S/C, saving yourself a heap of money on the PHEV, stop worrying about warranties and just enjoy the bloody thing! You'll be better off all round then. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

My current RRS2 is due for a change in November.

I'm pretty certain at this stage I won't be going for my third.

LR pricing is getting silly. For essentially the same spec as what I'm driving now they are looking for an extra 7k

I have been test driving a lot of vehicles over the last week or so.

Q7 is crap. I really don't like it.

The Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid (320bhp petrol + 90bhp electric) is an astonishingly good motor. The interior is something else, and looks fantastic to boot, and has a 30ish mile range on electric.

I've an F-Pace 3.0 diesel coming tomorrow for a 48hour drive which I'm really looking forward to.

As much as I love the xc90 I need a diesel, and my biggest worry with the Volvo and their insistence on 4 cylinder engines is that it will be weaker and noisier than I am used to.

Nearly as worrying, however, is I've been told that the next RRS is coming with a 2lt 4cyl Diesel engine.... Oh dear. MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

The 2.0 is going to be entry level for the same price as the old 3.0 which is why the prices have gone up again

I'd look at it the other way round - best to have something more interesting to counteract the boredom of commuting.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Commute is probably the wrong word - because we have 1 vehicle now and no longer live above our main business I drive swmbo in and pick her up so I have a vehicle - if we had 2 she could take the phev

I also nip through for lunch with her but I spend my days doing paperwork at home and walking the dog or working on our properties/managing tradesmen as a second business which I could use the phev for and not worry about it

A nice 2nd car for weekend was never an option if buying RRS2 - we used to have 2 but replacing the MY10 with MY13 after dealer damage it seemed pointless as we only used it weekend before we moved

Downsizing to DS when we moved made sense as a second car would probably be needed as we're finding  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
