Here's the dilemma. I have deposit down on Macan turbo but have noticed the new RRS is looking an attractive alternative option.

Having owned a couple of old model RRs's and a Vogue they have all suffered break downs/faults so went over to Porsche and Cayennes with no trouble/faults over the last 2 years. I drove a RRS Dynamic and I have to say the ride was awful, but this might be down to the 22inch rims it was on.

Anyone who owns a new model RRS with any views...thanks.

Also wary that with the smaller engined Macans due to come on stream they may well be 10 a penny in a couple of years!

I've got a 2011 vogue and part exchanging for a new RRS.

My problem is I've signed all documents, paid over a £1000 deposit and my dealer is struggling to give me any update/ firm info on if the original delivery date of July is still valid.....
You are in the same position on your RRS as I am with my Macan turbo.
Thanks for all the feedback chaps, if I can convince the wife it's an RRS HSE Dynamic! Some used ones around but boy have they held their price!

That Macan is just so ugly, so yes RRS for sure.
It will also look better with the Aston!

Yup got to agree with that..two British built aluminium cars on the drive...makes a change from two German ones!!

The RRS will be our family every day run around so it will be a diesel.

Deposit placed on 3.0d HSE Dynamic. Just deciding on white, or chile red?

Thank you, that seems to be the message.
Any idea what the 2015 upgrades are? I'm ordering the same as you
Have you placed your deposit and did you get a deal?

Yes, see you on the other side!
Have you seen, just today, they have brought out more RRS models? There are now 6 to choose from starting at S, SE and HSE?
Headroom was fine for me when I sat in the back and load space also more than Macan so enough for our needs.
Just dropped email to Macan dealer requesting how easy it would be to refund my £3K deposit!

You sure about the S and SE?

Macan is smaller than the Evoque I believe, let alone Sport.

Deposit should be fully refundable - what is their loss?
Yes sure about the S & SE. There was an S in the dealership today in white and the RR configurator had them on too...but they seem to have disappeared and there was no prices by them so whatch this space.
Deposit is fully refundable.
