They are not the vehicles that they used to be. For me they are unnecessarily big for what they are now. 99% of them will never be taken off road. There are better, more reliable & cheaper options. L460 is better looking but it has its issues.

Had a passenger ride to the airport today with my friend. He has a Disco - 2019 I think.
The ride was truly fantastic, 3.0D very nice too. Comfort and “sense of occasion” really great also. He does have 4 warranty jobs waiting to be fixed though. |

Thread has turned from a 'look at what I got' into a defensive argument for buying a RR.
I wouldn't drive a RR if you paid me. Two types of people drive them where I live....retired rich farmers who drove LRs all their working life and can afford them...and 'incomers' who have moved here cos houses are much cheaper than the commuter belt and now WFH 4 days a week who also now can afford them but couldn't before. They live in developer-built 3 bed boxes on a shitty housing estate and buy RRs which don't fit in their undersized single garages, or on their tiny driveways. All so Mum can look 'rich' driving their little treasures to the local (crap) secondary school. Oh and a third are 'wannabe' drug dealers! JLR dealer labour rates make BMW look cheap too! |

I don't get how a Range Rover makes you look rich anymore, they are so cheap to buy now!

"Ford Sierra 2.0 Ghia, or BMW 316 base, Clive?" "The BM will make the neighbours take notice, so I will have that thanks!" £30k for a used car is still a lot of money TBH, especially when it will break down on every other journey! Not getting at you, mate. I know you will move on to something else next week and the RR argument will be a distant memory. Last edited by Pond; 03-11-2024 at 06:10 PM.. |

Very true.
Post of the year on here would probably go something like this...... I have just spunked £80k on an EV, I know it is crap to drive, only does 150 miles on a charge, is only now worth £15k and looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp and I know I am an idiot but Greta will be happy |

Exactly my point and totally agree, accessible to many........ I had one on the drive that was never used for nigh on a year until my son took it on. He thought he was 'cool'........ he is now in a 911 GTS......

I’ve driven nothing that comes remotely close to the RRS and Disco. People do ruin them, there’s a new shape one wrapped matt black at my daughters school, which replaced a matt black wrapped Velar…and hubby drives a matt black wrapped Taycan.

If a forum for car enthusiasts is this insanely prejudiced about the things we are meant to all love, I wonder what a non-enthusiast forum is like.
