It's dirty now ! Whistle ....but only road splatter.......I need to buy a new bucket & sponge Thumbs Up

I'm afraid I'll probably chicken out of any real off-roading for the first year. Probably like 90% of owners, I didn't really buy it for off road capability, but more for on-road comfort & luxury. I love the view you get now, just looking over the top of most things on the road.

It's one of the best things to be pooling along the road at 60-80 leptons and being sat higher up then most can drivers and just wafting along Smile the only cars I've been in the have floated along better have been citroens but they are chickening out of the comfort game now.

How close does the acc get you to the car in front and does it adjust that distance at all??

I wasn't fussed about getting Adaptive cruise control, but now I got it, I'd never go back to standard cruise. It's superb. Follows cars at speed no problem, braking when needed to maintain the gap - really is amazing kit.


Couldn't agree more I just think it's brilliant...It would be one of the "must haves" on my next car whether that's an RR or not Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I haven't read the full user manual yet, but yes you can adjust the distance. Theres a couple of little flappy buttons to set it as you drive so you can increase or decrease the distance whenever you like.
There's 4 settings - it just shows you arrows/chevrons in front of an image of the RR in the screen so can be set to 1 2 3 or 4 arrows

I'm not sure what the actual distances are but I would guess around 10 to 20 metres was the minimum distance. I would say the distances are very safe & cautious rather than being able to get right up someones ar...se

I'm not sure if those distances change according to your speed, but probably !

Yes. The gaps are quite cautious. Even 1 is quite big. I've had someone attempt to squeeze in before and then you feel the full forces of the auto-braking!

That's a good point, so if you get some complete idiot pulling in right in front of you, does the car emergency brake, potentially dangerously so, in a way that you wouldn't yourself?

Especially if you are being closely followed by a car with brakes which aren't as good as those on a Range Rover! (probably describes most ordinary cars on the road). Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

It can brake quite hard, but for emergency it gives a message "driver intervention required" or something like that.
It's good, but you still need to be on your guard for those kind of twits who drive like crazy.

Lovely car Rolo. Doesn't look like it has a gearstick in the middle - when did RR get rid of those?! Thumbs Up

Hi, thanks,
I believe it was the 2011 versions with the new 4.4 diesel that all have the rotary selector & now only a gear stick available on the autobiography petrol supercharger.

It's very neat & tidy.
I know many like to grab hold of a stick when driving but you get used to it not being there. When the ignition is on the knob pops up ! Then you can rotate it to where you need it.
Turn off & it pops back down, flush out of the way
Thumbs Up

@pretlove.

Here you go Lee, some rear pics

The seat pack gives the recliners, curving head rests, cooling as well as heating & lumbar support.

Rear Headrests, showing the 3 way movement to curve around your head

You can just about see the movement of the recline from the nearside seat to the middle - it's not much, but really is nice to have on long journeys.

It really is a stunning car... Can't see why anyone could prefer an Evoque to a FFRR like this.. Previously..
