I kid you not, I might very well be picking up a Wrangler in the near future. Another long story. Keeping the RRS obviously, but making my daily something a little less flashy and fast. This is not a "want" thing, but rather a necessity.
I would have a test drive in a RR. It is completely different to drive than the RRS.

I know it sounds daft but It almost makes you drive ‘gentler’.

Most new cars now a days are not that reliable because more electrical/ technology involve. Even reliability for Japanese cars are not that sound always would have some recalls of some sort. Important thing when you buy your range rover is to get extended warranty if you plan to keep for long time.

This is not a "want" thing, but rather a necessity. And it will greatly help with my miles situation. I don't want hijack the thread, but if it happens, I will create some kind of post about it.
You should seriously consider a 4runner trd pro. You can basically drive them for free. I had two and traded both in for exactly what I paid. Great car to supplement your mileage and I promise you they aren't fast! Buy one for 45k drive it for two years put on 25-30k and you will get 40k+ back all day.

I pretty much agree wwith this I had ob
Ne 15 years ago and nothing but ttroubles I have one now and it has been flawless for three years. But when they break, they break expensive way. An extended warranty is not a bad idea.

Thought about it a lot looked at the vogue but the reliability kept coming back so opted for the new Volvo xc90 also it’s bit more under the radar rather than vogue

I looked at reviews and it looks pretty amazing.

I am not sure it is really for me as it is very brutish. Which I like, but also feel it might be too rough for me. I am a bit of a diva.

I have always had soft spot for the wrangler. and now that it was designed to be a daily driver and not just an off road brute, it really appeals to me.

Seth gets a new car. Who would have ever thought...

Regarding the Wrangler - I have owned several and love them. I even had a Rubicon and used it as a daily driver for about a year before I outfitted it. Talk about resale value...I had the Rubicon for 6 years and a little over 50K miles. I sold it for $1000 more than I paid.

Well, I’m way past due. It’s been forever.

In truth, im waffling. Not sure I can part with the GTS. Not sure I want it to just sit either. So we shall see.

But if I do, I’d likely go Sahara not Rubicon. Love the looks, but prefer the smoother drive.

This is where I am with my Cayman. 16 months of ownership and only 4500 miles on the car. Breaks down to less than 300 miles per month.

I feel like it is such a waste just sitting in the garage, but I really do not want to part with it.

Buy what the heart wants but when I drove both the Jeep was more pure off-road and it felt that way. Anyways both have excellent resale all things considered
