thinking of swapping the GL

[Rose Chap]

If you want a Porsche, buy a Boxster, Cayman or 911. The Cayenne is an exercise in badge engineering and who needs an off roader that can lap the Nurburgring in 9 minutes?

Keep the GL, or trade it against a Range Rover would be my advice.

that will be the Boxster

my mate has got one great car but would only have one if they put a convertible model in production regards jon

 

[verytalldave]

Completly and totally academic I know, but I dont like the look of them. Rather have either an ML or a GL.
Just goes to prove that the thing that draws people TOO a car is its looks. Everything else is negotiable.

 

[gl boy]

that will be the Boxster

want a 4 seater

 

[gl boy]

quick update ....going to stick with the GL for another few months and see want is around about june time thanks for all you comments a suggestion,all were read and taken on board ,,regards jon

my vote goes for a proper Range Rover too

Range Rovers are nice.....very nice

But stick with the GL until you know what you really want

 

[robert.saunders]

Aaah well, a RR is a different beast altogether.... I've only ever been in 2; the last one had a big blue roof bar on it, a siren, lots of cones in the boot and a mad driver

Gets my vote

Imagine if you'd bought an R-class!!

wouldnt even want to think about that...originally thats what i was getting but my salesman at MB shrewsbury advicied me against the r class and said i would not be happy with it ,SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO right he was ...regards jon

At that rate of loss keeping the GL another yr would be best for it to level out a bit.

As for an R class, if it were £40K new a year old it would be more than 2£20K so surely??


I like both the GL and R class so some great buys to be had soon

Huge reliability problems. The Discovery is virtually bottom of JD Power.
IMO the ML, GL, and BMW X5 are all better looking by a mile.

 

[raymont]

The RR is not the same as a Disco so you cannot infer RR reliability from Disco data.

JD Power do not differentiate between Disco 2 and Disco 3 models, which are completely different cars. The figures for the D3 are somewhat skewed by the inclusion of the v unreliable D2. Early D3s did have issues but it now seems that they are much improved. Anyway this is a bit academic as you cannot infer anything about RR reliability from Disco data.

I saw an R class on the M6 last week. It is a BIG car! much bigger than I imagined. What seat configuration do they have?

As for the GL, I didn't know a revised/new model was on the cards. Mine is delivered in about 4/5 weeks. I really like the RRS, there are so many on the roads though it is not exclusive enough.
