Discovery 4, RRS or FFRR?
Discussion
I'm pretty sure if my numbers came up, one of these would be one of the first cars that I bought but which one?
The Discovery has become almost as iconic as the Range Rover in its own way and is probably the roomiest of the three (useful for the kids and family). My best man used to work for a company that hired out 4x4s and I asked him if he might be able to borrow a Range Rover to drive us to the wedding. I was initially disappointed that he could only get one of these (shouldn't have been, as it was a free car) but actually it was really rather nice. Only available with the V6 diesel though but a decent spec one is a good 30k cheaper than a nice spec RRS or FFRR, which is a lot of money!
I wondered for years why Land Rover never brought out a 7-seater Range Rover. It seemed like madness but then the new RRS came out last year, which arguably looks better than the FFRR and has this feature. You can get the V8 diesel in it too but it comes at a cost. I would have one in metallic red!
I initially hated the look of the new Range Rover (really liked the L322 model looks-wise) but then I saw one in black the other day (with simpler alloy wheels than these, which I preferred) and it looked great! Also, it's lighter, faster, better handling and more economical than the last one too, so to complain is just silly and the interior is in a different league to the other two, so maybe it's the one to have? Very expensive though. Wouldn't be too difficult to spec one up to 100k I think!
Which one would you have, or would you choose something else?

Ffrr is the only car youd ever need...unless you need 7 seats then the disco 4 would be the best bet. The rear most seats in the 7 seat rrs are only for kids really.
New lightweight tech in the ffrr is awesome...Im getting an average mpg over 30. Not bad for a 4.4 v8 lump that can still be hustled around the twisties like something half its size when the mood takes you.
