At that price it’s going to be an 8 Speed SDV8 auto so, rather than say “buy the newest and best to budget”, which extras are important? Sunroof? Posh leather? Etc...

Forget mid to late issue surround camera’s, they’re worse than useless and cannot be made to work. Even LR threw in the towel there Evil or Very Mad

Or, are you choosing between a D4, or a newer RRS?
 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car

2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

Now if you said you needed a bigger boot, or a flat boot when the seats are folded, or 7 seats, I could understand, but all our RRS's have gone off road just fine Whistle

My RRS goes off-road just fine to. its a pleasure to drive, and drive I do... 6k miles in the last 8 weeks..

so thinking of fuel economy to. I can get 500 miles out of a tank on the longer runs sticking to 70 and avoiding driving too spirited on the small & twisties..

I don't need 7 seats, my boot is just fine..

my only missing items would be adaptive cruise, towing assist (I'm getting lazy lol) oh and a big fat V sound coming out of the exhaust.... which can't easily be done on my 3.0 TDV6....
