Back from warmer climes for a few days and bought the sun with me. I got a luxury lift down to Goodwood where my GRY lives so thought it would be interesting to compare these two. The Rangie is an impressive bit of kit, which I suppose it should be for £125K - almost silent, rapid and super comfortable. There is no way I'd choose an EV over it. It's a very big car but it shows how big even the Yaris is, which is almost always described as small, but really isn't.

Is that a long wheel base Range Rover?

I drove from Hampshire to mid Wales in a new one (RR not Yaris) the other week - they are a long way away from my previous 2005 Supercharged RR. As you say, silent and comfortable - pretty amazing vehicles these days.

I always go by the rear door drop-glass. LWB is wider/longer.

I think the Caterham is riding a little high... Parking next to SUVs can be a pain.

I'm sorry, I don't know the first thing about Range Rovers.
