New Firenze Red Commercial
Hi All,
Picked up my new commercial today after a years break (had a mad moment and tried the RRS2) but the call of the Discovery was to much so had to get another.

I also love that colour, partly because you don't see that many around.

If you don't mind me asking, what attracted you to the RRS side and what brought you back?

John,
The main reason for the RRS2 was I had always wanted to own a RR but the FF was out of my price range and I liked the look of the new sport, I had a HSE Dynamic and don't get me wrong it is a great car. The biggest problem I found was the lack of space compared to the Discovery, the rear seats don't fold fully flat and this restricts the amount of stuff you can carry without damaging all that leather (3 dogs, trips to tip etc.) i was also using it for my job as a service engineer.
I had always found that my Discovery was like a good Swiss army knife it had may uses, so at the end of the day thats why I decided to trade the sport in and return to a Discovery.
