I'm mildy disappointed to be honest. I've found mine behaves far to civilised on snow/ice which means I don't need to use Terrain Response. That means I coulda bought one a few years older which would have saved money and given me comfier seats |

^^^^^^^^ exactly this. Drama free driving, although almost got rear ended by a plonker following too close and not allowing space to slow down - we were intending to turn off main road on an slight downhill, off camber corner when I see a Subaru estate slithing around in the rear mirror |

What year did terrain response become standard on the ffrr? And is there any point having it if you dont go off roading or anything fancy like that? |

MY2007 cars onwards, so some 56 plates but mainly the 07+ plates. Doesn't make a huge difference but it does change the gearbox behaviour and the throttle map so you don't have to tread gingerly. However if you're not a clod-footed oaf like me you should be ok with out it |

marvelous. The most standard rangey with no gizmos can cope better than pretty much everything on the road anyway. |

Its a bit quiet Stan, luckily I live on the same road as a dairy farmer so he keeps the roads clear for the milk tanker |
