Hi All,

Got to the point where I'm a bit sick of sports cars and after a bit of luxury in my life (my back will also appreciate it!)

L494 RRS are looking like a good bet for me with mix of comfort, size etc. Would love a FFRR but don't have the space for it to be honest. The RRS will be a push for space also!

From what I've seen on the internet, I need to avoid the V6s and I don't fancy the 4 banger hybrid, which leaves me with the V8s.

Has anyone on here had experience with either the SDV8 4.4 or 5.0 P525? Are they considered reliable? (by land rover standards!) Or at this point am i just better off going for the full on SVR? I'm not massively fussed about fuel bills as I'm used to MPGs in the teens with previous cars, my local petrol station knows me well!

Would be interested to know about servicing/warranty pricing as It seems to be a bit hush hush from main stealers listing prices, I guess it's a case of different groups having different pricings.

If anyone knows any good Indys South East England way would be helpful!
