what? you mean that the boot of the RRS with load cover closed is as big as the FL2 is with seats folded plus front seat? is it really that big? 2007 Freelander 2 HSE i6

seats were folded down on the RRS, but the load cover did close. It was the look on the saleseman's face as I unloaded my stuff from the FL2. It was my astronomy telescope that took up the most room, the case for it was a tight fit across the back of the FL2

If we know you had a telescope that big you could have helped find Carlfraz when he went missing at Euro Disney.

I have been going through the drama of replacing my RRS in the last few days and I did consider the F2 as I want a car that is quiet and comfy on a long drive. According to LR's own brochures the F2 is wider than an RRS so was useless to me as it was too wide to go into my garage - the RRS will only just fit through the door but it is so close that I keep it on the drive rather than risk being 5mm out and damaging it!

Thanks Tim. I also bought the LR2 because I thought it was smaller and would easier fit the garage. I was very surprised when I learnt that the RRS was actually narrower. What in the end made you opt for the RRS? I'd be more happy if you talked me out of getting one than convincing me to upgrade. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE i6

Q, my Land Rover purchases over the last 7 years have run Disco TD5, Freelander TD4 Auto, Range Rover TD6, RRS TDv6 and yesterday I signed up for an RRS TDv8 with delivery on the 26th October. I considered the F2 as I was trying (not very hard!) to move down to a smaller car. I love the F2 BUT i think LR are chancing their luck charging so much for cars with a decent spec. I loved my F1, it suited me superbly and got me into offroading after owning Discos for years that never even mounted a kerb let alone went into the mud. I had so much fun in my F1 that I found that I was taking it into places LR never designed it to go and I was risking severe damage. To get out of that corner I bought a 2nd hand 1996 Defender90 which I still own.

XE, I'm member number no21 here, have been on since well before F2 was launched, it's another good forum to be on as you can learn so much, even though I don't have an F2 I know people who do and don't have internet at home so cannot get the info. I'm a member of all of Martin's Land Rover forums - RRSport.co.uk, Disco3.co.uk, FullFatRR.co.uk. and even Defender2.co.uk as well. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Range Rover Sport Supercharged VIP Day at Gaydon when they launched the HST.
