Ditto, not had an issue in my last 3. Around 180,000 miles combined.

In the last 20 years I have had 1 Jag, 3 Defenders, 2 RRS and 2 FFRR and they have been predominantly very reliable with no major faults whatsoever and only a few minor issues.

It has to be said that when you get any issue it becomes a trial as JLR dealers (that I have used) are useless and usually take a number of attempts to sort out the smallest problem and JLR customer relations dept is a complete shambles.

Well it was collection day today.

It’s a lovely thing.

I managed to resist the urge to cancel the whole thing and buy an old Lexus and a truckload of Duracell
at the last minute.

There really are very few cars as pleasantly cosseting as a FFRR.

I doubt whether you could spec a FFRR more tastefully than that thumbup

That is a thing of beauty. Might have chosen different wheels though. wink

Yes - it’s a really nice colour and changes quite a bit depending on the light.

Possibly and beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder but I will say it’s easy to tell the front from the back unlike a pushmepullyou wink

The Evoque screams ‘PCP’d to the max and watches far too much Love Island’ to me.

Not sure if that’s the image JLR’s Marketing people were hoping to cultivate but it’s how I see them.
Yes, that was the intended image.

It's why Victoria Beckham was the face of the launch, and made available on affordable leases

I'd say most people who are overly critical of Range's, X5's, Q7's etc are just jealous because they can't have one for themselves or can't justify the cost for one. If you regularly do 100 mile round trips there is nothing better than an SUV to munch the miles.
Some might well feel that way. Others may object to their profligacy, the damage they inflict in a collision, the extent to which they block visibility, the tendency of some of their drivers to think their size gives them priority, or may just find the sheer inefficiency of using something so over-specified for the school run offensive.

On the crash front, Ant from ant and Dec was driving a mini on the day he was drunk and crashed into another car with a child in it.

The only reason he wasn't in his range rover was that he had damaged it a few days prior. That crash could have been a whole lot worse of he had been in the RR.

Lovely. I sincerely hope they threw in the orange spray tan and a handbag to sweeten the deal. Be careful on the corners, that high CoG will get you killed.

Too late.

It’s in a ditch already outside Ant from Ant and Dec’s house as a direct result of a homosexual chihuahua getting wedged under the pedals on the way home.
