test drove a touareg 3l diesel
not sure what makes it play in the same league as x5 for similar money
much more sedan-like feeling compared to land rovers, but without much fun attached, makes you ... |

| I'm not sure if it's relevant but one of our contractors bought a New Defender while he waited for his New RRS SVR to be built. However, when the RRS turned up he was so impressed with the Defender ( ... |

You have a good point, using these features in modern cars can be very distracting.
If I want the heating on on the 'old' Defender I just turn a dial.
The newer cars you have to use a joy ... |

I looked at the new Defender, eagerly awaited... Viewed it, drove it.... somewhat underwhelmed to be honest.
Its nice, but just missing that "specialness" for me that a car has to have an ... |

Is there a new style RRS out soon?
Late this year the FullFat, then prob next year new RRS but realistically end 22-23 I would think. And if its more of the same with more tech and more complicated ... |

Hi,
(1) I think you need to tweak your poll as LR don’t fit TDV6’s anymore.
(2) I drive a 19MY RRS AB having changed 2 yrs ago from a 16MY RRS AB - my fourth RRS - I can tell you that comfort, ... |

OK so here we come to a quick poll...
I have asked for some opinions from the RRS owners already and all were favourable to the new DEF

Feniksss welcome to the forum
It doesn’t handle as well as a Dynamic badged RRS but then it isn’t intended as a sporty vehicle. It isn’t as wafty or folly as a Full Fat either, slightly firmer ... |

Tim,
thanks very much for the comparison. We have a '16 RRS 3L diesel 250hp, not dynamic. What I love about it is the grunt and how well it floats on the road on long journeys at highway speeds. If t ... |

Hi, nice colour! loving Eiger grey and the Tasman blue from pics alone!
One thing, as an RRS owner and thinking to up/downgrade to the 110, most likely D200, how do you find the handling on road as ... |
