I think I can only do a RR if it has that killer cream interior, piano black wood, contrasting with a nice black/very dark gray/blue exterior.
But then, they're lacking so much performance, I can't picture myself getting an RR over a ML or X5 or Cayenne, resale value aside.

LOL at people comparing a RR to an X5. A RR and an X5 share a lot of parts. A LOT. In fact, the RR electrical system is the same as an X5 (they even use the same computer modules).
So I laugh when people pull the "RR electrical issues" out of their ass and then bring up an X5 in the same sentence.

Any true car enthusiast would not touch a RR, not even a second hand one for $50K. Only consumers that want treat cars as a badge or fashion statement would buy a RR....if I was going to spend $100K+ on a SUV, the Porsche Cayenne or X5M would be a much more rewarding drive from a driver enthusiast standpoint.
Look forward to seeing your comments
| he didnt say X5 doesnt have electrical issues. the cayenne and X5M are simply better performers and sportier SUVs compared to RR.

learn to read. | I know how to read, TYVM.
When somebody asks should I buy A or B, and someone replies "don't get A because it has this problem" the implication is B doesn't suffer from that problem. Likewise if someone says "B has this feature", the implication is that A lacks that feature.
That's typical of any discussion where people are making a comparison - you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each, not the numerous things they have in common.
Seems like you're the one who needs to learn how to read.

So it hasn't been made clear to you that RR is exactly the type of person that wants and lives for fashion beyond her own personal means? Quote:

Lose 50% of value in 2 yrs. No thanks.

I never said anywhere that RR's were reliable or that they didn't have problems. You said they have electrical issues and I was educating you on the fact that RR and X5 use the same electrical systems and therefore have the same electrical issues.
Are you going to tell me X5's don't have electrical issues?

I wouldn't recommend a used RR to someone else, though. Unless I didn't like them.

To all of you raging on Dangonay, let me just say one thing: I trust his opinion and knowledge on many topics (this one, included) far more than virtually anyone else on this site. Let's just say that he knows what he's talking about.
