    I agree with Meken..... there is always more.

    Can't remember anyone complaining that they have too much power 😆

    Cheers, Craig

    Not enough in standard spec? Overtaking with 2.7 tons behind you up hill?
    Try sports mode.

    Look forward to hearing your conclusions!

    On the space + kids issue, we went for a RRS over a D4 simply because of inner city car park heights, and have accepted that for road trips we'll have the roof pod or rack and for remote touring/camping we'll have the trailer. I think in reality given we have two Oztents etc etc it'll just stop me trying to overload the car. And you've already said you tow.

    My wife really does appreciate the RRS dimensions in town.

    From memory the pre 2014 RRS was only about 50mm shorter and 100mm narrower than a D4, the new RRS is longer and wider and again from memory has a greater turning circle than a D3/4.

    The Previous RRS definitely feels much more compact when sitting in it but is in reality not that much smaller so I can't see why a couple of inches makes any real difference when parking.
    Cheers,
    Terry

    RRS 4850L x 2073w (mirrors folded) x 1780h
    Disco 4 4829L x 2053W (mirrors folded) x 1887
    RRS turn circle 12.3m
    D4 11.45m
    Length & width nothing in it - yes 100mm more height but there shouldn't be many carparks lower than 1900 anyway
    turning circle almost a metre better in the D4
    I think it's a perception thing

    It's the height of the L320 that makes the difference. The rest is indeed psychological except for the lack of cargo space and thirdrow seating
