    Thanks for your message.

    4 months and 6000 km's into ownership and loving the car.

    Just done a 2000 km plus road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne, then back over 4 days along the Great Ocean Road. 2 adults, 2 kids and a weeks worth of clothing/gear. The car never missed a beat although i did think the luggage space was a little smaller than my Mercedes ML and was piled high so I could not use the rear mirror. I rarely fill up the luggage space so much so not really an issue.

    Very comfortable long distance cruiser from Adelaide to Melbourne......stick it in cruise at 110kph and relax. Only used 2/3 of a tank so was also impressed by the economy.

    Then on the GOR it was great along the twisty roads although with the family in tow it was not a time to be putting the foot down. A few shots below of the Rangie en route.

    Went through some horrendous weather on the way back from Mt Gambier with monsoon rain and heavy winds, but the RRS was firm and steady, even at speed through standing water.

    Great road trip in a fantastic car. Hope you like yours when it arrives.

    My first post on this forum, and what a place to start, than on this thread.
    Beautiful car, and thanks a lot for sharing your experiences with it. Love the pics too.

    As a prospective future owner for a pre-owned RRS, i am going through ownership threads to learn more about the experience. If you dont mind sharing, what are the average service costs like?

    Service costs to date have been very reasonable. for instance about halve a V10 Touareg and 40% of the cost of my wife's SQ5.

    I have change brake pads to REDstuff , ECB is the brand , other than this change very little done. I have two sets of wheels 20 inch and the 22 inch the car came with. Now have 112,000 k's , car runs well , did have some issue with the oil seeping down the cable into the turbo ECU , fixed under warranty now about 19 months ago. All in all 2016 model without add-blue is the SDV8 to get IMO.
