First impressions -

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

I don't think so as it has no low ratio and drives very similar to 3.0 tdv6 vogue I had last year  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

You tempted Muddy?  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Get it bought muddy it's in your head now so it's only a matter of time rob t 2014/5 rr sport hse, Marianna black , silver roof , silver door mirror caps , privacy , deployable tow bar

Gone and missed 02 Nissan xtrail

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
