The RRS is based on a Discovery 3 platform, it feels pretty old and dated to drive.
To be fair it felt a bit dated when back in 2005, some 13 years later even more so.
For some reason the FF RR just feels luxuriously wafty, it is not trying to be anything but.
RRS issues..
3.6 TDV8 eats turbos.
3.0 diesel can get seized engines.
2.7 diesel is just pants on a car that size.
4.2 and 5.0 will annoy you, filling up every 200 miles at £100 a pop gets tiring.
The issues with the FFRR are more like turbo hoses spilt, £100 fix or £50 is you do it yourself.
Water pumps leak, £200 fix.
Niggly things but nothing really major on later cars.
The FFRR I found easier to drive, and my wife loved it, said it was one of the easiest cars to drive as you are upright and can see every corner of the car, only issue is tight car parks.
Take one out and see what you think.
There isn't that much difference in size, the FF RR is just higher. |
