Thanks for the replies guys,tells me what I found from my test drive last week-the X6 is a great driving car  >:D
however, I have never found a decision so difficult lol I have a choice of an X5, X6 or dare I say it a Ranger Rover Sport.
I have asked a few friends what they think and almost all say RRS  :'(

RRS really is about to be replaced so wait!

I had the latest one for about a week (1000 miles) and it really is a lot better than the old one but quiet different to the X5

Those can't be friends must be enemies, talk to us were your friends lol

No out of jokes, my mate bought an 09 RRS last week. Fantastic car, but remember it has aged! Its still the grand old chassis design from the bmw days, with new plastic, electronics and I think a ford engine. Interior looks really aged. Prices will crash now the new model is out.

Buy X6, can't beat those looks!

New RRS is not out yet.

Have you driven the other contenders yet?

One might stand out.....cough...cough X5  but then I would say that  )

Driving a RR is like riding the waves on an excessively obese woman!!

Man of experience!

I've been around(ask my lawyer for two reasons  ) but never done a fat bird!

New RR Sport is due imminently, I think?

Yes new rrs is due at the end of this year,
Looks wise I think the Rorschach had it, but from a drivers perspective the x6 wins hands down

I thought the RRS was a last generation Disco with a 'footballers wives' makeover?

Nope.

I've seen it on the motorway disguised but not even proper pics are out yet.

If you've seen it disguised and its due to be unveiled at New York this month, I'd say that's fairly imminent.

Bloody iphone predictive text  >:(

I'm now driving a 62 plate RRS Supercharged. Have to say its facelifted well and feels really nice from the pre-one I drive before. Handling wise it certainly is softer but not overly from my X5. To say its quick/effortless is an understatement but then it is the s/c'd beast. Build wise there a couple of rattles and after only one week the offside rear door handle has broken (so can only open the door from the inside...lol).

Interior wise.......wow. It really is a superb place to be. The seats are very supportive and well dressed and overall looks great. However is it any better than the X5/X6, etc? Nope.

I'm also getting a grand 14mpg at the mo too....lol

How come you are in the RRS Raj?

Is it courtsesy car week? My neighbour has a XC60 on the drive while there car is in for body work repair and my X5 is at the dealership having some warranty stuff sorted (finally!) while I am driving a white X3 2.0d M Sport on a 62 plate.
