Im currently wanting to buy a Range Rover TD6 Vogue, however I have a small problem that my wife thinks it's to big for her to drive and park (put off large cars by our old MK4 Mondeo). Hence she is no to keen on my idea

Anyone else had this problem if so how did you get round it or do i just buy her a Yaris or a Micra

Show her who's the man!  2000 BMW M5, Avus Blue/LeMans Leather Interior

easy for me , wife can't drive

what you need to do is go to a garage and take one out for a test drive. i think she will find it easier to drive and get her position on the road due to the fact she will be sitting higher up. the front and rear parking sensors help when playing dodgems too..  Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE



Past: TDV8(4.4) Vogue
Discovery 3 Commercial
TDV8(3.6) Vogue
TD6 Vogue
D2 V8 ES
D1 V8 ES
RR Vogue Classic

as above...

my wife absolutely loves it... 'dead easy to drive, you just sit in it' quote/unquote.

The parking sensors make it easly combined with the elevated sitting position.

A problem you may encounter is if SWMBO loves it too much and you end up with no FFRR, so don't over egg it too much. Range Rover TD6 Vogue Adriatic Blue

my wife dont stop nicking mine she loves how high up you are and the parking sensors and camera make it a doddle to park.....just get her to take one for a test drive but let her drive it before you.....Make it her idea to want one  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Perfect, you do realise how lucky you are!!!

FFRR all to yourself and buy her a Yaris for the shopping

I do agree whith 47P2.

My wife doesn't like the FFRR, she only drive it on highway ; she prefers her Mercedes GLK

Both my girlfriends love driving the RR, one is 5'2" the other 5'4". They both say they feel secure and safe, good visibility etc.

Once your better half has driven one for 10 mins she will be convinced. Current MY2020

I susupect is is a binary outcome. She'll either try it and love it (why do so many women drive big 4x4s?) or loather it (buy a Yaris)

My wife loves being high up in a big tank. She won't drive anything small any more. In fact the Rangie is too small - she has the Landcruiser V8. Horrid but you could park the Rangie in the boot.

yes my missis thinks the range rover is too big and doesn't drive it alot. Being honest if we didnt have a vw golf as well then the range rover would have to go. 2004 black Vogue TD6

mine was exactly the same, she took it out one day in the snow and I only got it back recently
