Not the V8 but the V6 Supercharged. It’s a nice place to be in, handling, no way around it, it’s a boat. You can’t hide all that weight. The Macan will feel like a hot hatch compared to the RRS. There is almost a 2000 pound difference between the two?

the V8 sounds amazing but only expect straight line speed. Go around a corner and you’re going to be using a lot of brakes.

 

Yeah, I kind of expected that. I don't imagine it's going to handle anything like a Macan...but how bad is it?

Closer to BMW X5 or Chevy Tahoe?

 

I'm gonna suggest you read the reviews on the RRS and the SVR. Two different animals. Now, if you're asking about reliability, I would suggest you buy a plain 'ol vanilla Jeep. It' more reliable thn any version of the RR.

I was not able to confirm this, but I had 'heard' RR developed all their own switches, parts and pieces. Those parts are not found outside the RR brand. And they didn't do a good job at it rather than sourcing tried-and-true OTS parts

Remember the Lexus model: they researched the entire industry for every unique piece that akes a Lexus. Those suckers just don't break!

 

Have you owned or driven either of them?

This board bashes Land Rover and you will get no love here asking. I have had 4 Jag/LR vehicles with V8 including 2020 RRS. PM any ?

...yup. I've stated before on here... our first year of ownership with an '18 LR Disco HSE was not fun... but since then, she's been bullet proof and a heckuva family hauler. You won't get any love on this forum for RR/LR...

 

I had 2 O2 sensors fail on the RRS in 1 month, lots of issues with the infotainment issues (screen freezing, locking up.)

@Draper it handles like a boat. Probably between a X5 and a Tahoe. Steering is effortless. Since you’re looking at a V8, I think you get better seats. I feel like the12 ways in my V6 was terrible. Long distance was NOT great.

 

A friend of mine that had a RR told me once: if you ever buy a RR, make sure you buy two. One to drive, the other for spare parts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

That is exactly what my neighbors did. There is no way they can 'flat bed' the dead ones out of my steep roadway. Why do these people buy such undependable cars (he said with both the potential Transfer Case and the Timing Case Cover problems not occurring yet and hanging over my head)?

 

Had a 2010 RRS with 125k miles. Was mostly solid with the occasional electrical hiccup. The motor was stout and the interior was screwed together like a tank. Have the same 5.0 NA V8 in my Jag with 126k miles and this car has been pretty much bulletproof, except for the known cooling system/manifold issues (fixed between me and my indie for $1200). The car is as tight as day one and pulls like a freight train right from tip-in. That V8 grunt is pretty addictive! I know these aren't recent MY examples, but goes to show with proper maintenance, these things can make the long haul dependably. YMMV.
