#627 of 647 RRS Reliability Questions by elane66 Jun 30, 2007 (3:28 pm)
I've just started seriously considering purchasing a RRS HSE. Mainly because I think it's the best looking car on the road. I struggle however with my practical side that tells me it's definitely not the best car made for the money. Does anyone have any info on the reliability of the RRS. I know JD Power gives it 2 out of 5 stars for initial quality. Replies to this message: roverlover3 (Jul 03, 2007 2:22 pm)

Replying to: eelpout (Nov 28, 2004 11:23 am) I have owned 3 LR vehicles and have just sold my Defender and am looking to purchase another. The RRS is really nice looking car and I see that in Europe it is available with a choice of two diesel engines.   1.Any know if Ford is planning to bring a diesel engined RRS to the USA?   2. I have looked at every other luxury SUV on the market and tried to keep an open mind. I really like the looks of the RRS, however the MB GL may trump the decision based on reliability and ride.   A diesel could swing it in favor of the RRS.

#632 of 647 Impressed with the RRS S/C by bgsntth Jul 16, 2007 (1:07 pm)
My wife and I attended the traveling LR Experience in Sonoma last week, and had the opportunity to drive an RRS S/C on the off-road course they had set-up. Instruction was top-rate, as LR is renowned for, with our instructor being a former Camel Trophy and Baja 500/1000 competitor. Needless to say I peppered him with questions related to the Terrain Response and what to use when, as it turns out I have not been optimally using it on my LR3. The RRS was very impressive, even with the UHP Conti's. I noticed that Cooper now offers a true AT for a 20" wheel none-the-less.   I have serious RRS envy, as my main complaint with our LR3 is that the suspension is to soft and feels somewhat floaty/tippy on the highway; which my short ride in the firmer suspension in the S/C seems to have alleviated. My question is, "is there a difference in the suspension tuning between the RRS HSE and the RRS S/C"? As it is an air suspension, does LR increase the pressure in the air bags?   Anyway's I Replies to this message: british_rover (Jul 16, 2007 3:33 pm) bgsntth (Jul 16, 2007 3:47 pm) british_rover (Jul 16, 2007 3:55 pm)

Replying to: bgsntth (Jul 16, 2007 1:07 pm) Yes the S/C has a slightly different tunned air springs then the HSE Sport.   Most of the difference between the two is the standard dynamic response package on the S/C Sport that is only optional on the HSE Sport. I have never driven a HSE Sport with Dynamic response but I bet it would drive a lot like a SC Sport.   Dynamic response gives you the big Brembo brakes up front and the hydraulic active sway bars front and rear.   I really want Land Rover to put the active sway bar portion of dynamic response on the LR3. It would solve a lot of the tippy feeling people get with the taller LR3 without making the ride any rougher.   I figure they could offer the active sway bars as a 1,200 dollar or so option on the LR3 if they don't include the big front brakes.

Replying to: british_rover (Jul 16, 2007 3:33 pm) Thanks British Rover,   I would pay and extra $1-2K for Dynamic Response on the LR3. LR Experience went out of its way to demonstrate the axle articulation on the course, which I kept thinking was insane given the relatively stiff suspension tuning and flat cornering on the tarmac-I was waiting for endlinks to snap. Did not even think of the Dynamic Response uncoupling the sway bars when it was in low-range at the time. Makes sense now, "hindsight is 20/20".

Replying to: bgsntth (Jul 16, 2007 3:47 pm) Exactly that is the trick part of the Dynamic Response package.   It gives you a fairly firm suspension when you need it. Almost no body roll because of the active sway bars but without the bone jarring ride normally associated with minimal body roll suspensions. Finally the sway bars can disconnect in low range for better axle articulation.   The LR3 already has 13 inches of rear wheel travel. I bet it could pick a couple of inches with sway bar disconnects and still have less body roll.   Porsche liked Dynamic response so much they copied it for the new Cayenne and called it PASM.
