Anyone own a 2018+ RR Sport?

strettyend · 10-25-2018, 03:51 PM

Curious if anyone here also or has owned a refreshed 2018+ RR Sport? I actually kind of cross shopped it with the M5. I know, weird, but my fun car is my GT3 and I was looking for more of a cruiser with AWD when I couldn't drive my Porsche. Totally happy with my M5 and the power and handling and tech sold me but every time I see a highly spec'd out RR they do look so damn good.
Anyways just curious if anyone has experience living with one since my girlfriend may consider getting one in the future.

No experience myself, but I think they're badass. Want to get one for my wife...love the white with all black trim.

My wife had a 2017, her mom just bought a 2018. I drove it for 4 days last week when we visited with them. Very nice...tech is amazing.

How is the handling? Some guy complained that his 2014 handled like shit.

I had the 5.0 supercharged. Handling was brilliant in dynamic for such a large heavy and tall vehicle.

I believe that the handling in the non autobiography dynamic to not be very good.

I don’t like them! They look like a school bus 🚌

I test drove the 2018 SVR and LOVED it. The tech is pretty cool with the dual screen setup, although it can feel a bit cluttered and sluggish.

That being said, I think the RR Sport SVR is one of the best sounding (stock) cars out there. The rumbles and crackles and pops are just amazing! I also think it looks pretty bad ass and the SVR is quite rare.

Not sure how the reliability is these days, I hear it's improved but probably still not on BMW/MB levels.

They hold a very poor reliability record here in the UK, with many returned for refund, also the Chinese market is dropping them for one of these reasons and others, I would not touch one the RV is off a cliff.
