Come on Andy don't you think that judgment without evidence is a bit harsh ... unlike your usually rational and very useful posts? Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

i don't think the AMG i've bought is going to be any cheaper to run...my neighbours can't see what i drive because of the long drive and high walls and gates...i think they've got RR and Astons.

That's some quick decision making and execution between:

Not too sure...hopefully something that appears above LR on the above.

Oh, hang on - anything apart from Fiat

I know some of us love our RRs and we have been quite lucky but reading through the forums, including the FFRR some of these cars are truly unfit for sale.
As for some of the dealerships they really haven't got a clue and just make owning one of these worse.
So sorry to hear OP and hope you have better luck with your next car. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Yep. As long as yours is doing what is expected of it, all the horror stories may look exaggerated at best and fabricated at worst. I was very happy with my first 2 (both bought used) and while the current one is a pleasure to drive most of the time and far from a nightmare, I did not expect a new car at this price point to have those sort of issues. And yes, poor dealership experience does add insult to injury. Perhaps the lesson for me is to never buy a new LR and get one where the previous owner has already been through all the trouble.

Yikes, I do more than that every day of the week. I guess that's why my RRS gets serviced twice a year! Gulp! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
