It’s interesting that you “(I)CNGAF about that” (in relation to the rear end), but I see that the experiments with the rear plate have started already. Good luck with that one!
Seriously, it may not be my cup of tea, but hope it works out for you and you don’t miss the real deal too much! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

It will be interesting to see how many of us end up doing the same. I have another 22 months to make my mind up. D5, RRS or new Defender. Has to be able to tow 3.5t, has to be good off road, has to be a good motorway cruiser and a reasonable boot. With kids growing up my needs have changed, maybe my car needs have too.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Eh? WTF does that mean?
Seriously ...I'm past that phase of debate, it's a minor irritation.... like a spot on the face of the most beautiful girl in the world . Believe me... you don't have to hope "works out for me" at all

I didn’t think to see if you were posting antique stuff yesterday, by checking your back catalogue first; silly me! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

It has all that Paul ..the cabin though, where you spend most of your time, is wonderful. The tech is top drawer...the new TFT interactive driver display in the dash is very impressive. It's just a lovely place to be.

You are right! They are beautifully built now...
What other options have you gone for?
Things I actually miss most on my latest RRS are stupid things that you don’t notice till they are not there
Blind spot mirrors,
Speed limit display,
Things I never ever used on my last one,
Self parking.... never used it even once..
Surround cameras...too much of a faff
Lane departure warning...used it once and hated it..
