Living with a Range Rover (size wize)

[G-Rich]

Hi,

Having been looking at 2005/6/7 RRS' for the last little while, I then had a quick look at a 'full fat' Range Rover (2007)- this turned into a longer look, and now I'm loving it - the quality of the interior and so on feels a complete cut above that of the RRS. The only thing that really concerns me is a the size of the thing, having had an X5 / XC90 and driven a load of vans in my time, the general driving day to day isn't a bother - just simply one of parking - I do a lot of station car parks, customer sites etc, and generally they are not exactly spacious.

What are peoples experiences of this? Has it caused any issues for anyone, or is this one of those 'stop moaning and enjoy owning a RR' kind of things?

Thanks
R

Very easy to park the big RR due to visibility and parking aids. It fits easy enough width ways into spaces, its just a bit longer than most cars. Really is one of the easiest cars to park that Ive had

What he said...shrinks when driving, good visibility, choose parking spots wisely for width.

A new Mondeo estate is longer, man up, buy & post pics.

I may have made/imagined /read this on the internet

As above. Just be picky with finding the best space you can.

Ironically there is another current thread where someone is buying an Evoque partly because his range rover is too large for car parks.
