That’s until you have one.

The only thing better than a heated steering wheel on a freezing winters morning, is air conditioned seats on a hot summers day.

I stand by the heated steering wheel being one of mankind's best ever inventions.. Much happiness on the way back from many a ski trip having toasty warm paws after soggy cold ski gloves..

Airconditioned seats are one of the many features that keep me popping onto the LR site and feeling the draw of a new 5.0 Supercharged RR (although the 5.0 supercharged bit is the main draw )... Alas shortly thereafter the lack of the $200k needed to procure such a device kicks back in and i return to reality..

The wheel motors its self back in to retract into the dash when you switch the car off, and then motors back out to its memory position when you switch it on as a kind of easy access feature so the motors are used all the time. Probably one of the reasons why they tend to wear out.

Personally i think it's well worth going for the Vogue spec, if only for the "comfort" seats, they really are spectacularily comfortable. Better than the ones in the Jaguar XJ8 I had previously, and right up there with those in my mate's Bentley Arnage that I had a few trips in in the UK. Quite definitely "sofa on wheels" territory.

I love our L322, and like I say I would have a new one in an instant if funds allowed. Sure we've had a few issues with it but these have been sorted under warranty, and I think for the money they are going for currently they are an absolute bargain.

Totally agree.Once you have owned one there's no going back. Pat

Got to be completely honest and say the seats in my 03 RR were not only larger but noticeably more comfortable than they are in my current 08 RR.

For some unknown reason, they have made the centre console wider in the later model and this has meant that the two front seats are now slightly narrower and the trade off means the seat are not as comfortable.

Hello Drivesafe
What model was your previous Range Rover, a HSE or vogue?

HSE

Is this an option???(7 seats)

Not a factory option i don't think but i've certainly seen aftermarket converted 7 seat L322s advertised.
