Well I've only covered 20 miles so ask me again in a week. First impressions are good and strangely it seems to drive better than my RRS 2013 black edition did which I find surprising. Definitely quieter and more refined than the freelander although I had 4 of them and always felt the last one (MY 2015) was the best sorted. 8)

Okay....
So, a little over a week later, how are you getting on then?  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Ok thanks, considering I've still only done 200 miles
I love everything about the car but I still need to get used to it being heavier than the FL2. It's not really a problem but I am yet to become as confident with the handling as I was after having had 4 FL2's. Also, as I only expect to do <10k mies per year because I use another car during the week it may take me while to get some miles under my belt.

I can see that might make getting more used to it a slower process. Driving around 2,500 to 3,000 miles a month in mine and then only, very occasionally, getting into normal cars (even Evoques and Disco Sports seem like "normal cars" now), it takes all day to completely recalibrate to be able to even begin to enjoy driving them again! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
