That’s why I went for Miami. Every day when I take my son to school there is a sea of grey Range Rovers and it makes me feel a bit depressed.
Posh school is it !? πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚
Yes but I just like the thought of how disgusted the other parents will be by Miami blue.

Don't tempt me, Miami blue would be my choice of the top end colours :D .... could ditch the roof and the Chrono to pay for it ....

I would ditch it for Met Paint. Apart from that it is a well rounded spec.
Yes I'm now questioning the SC again, in reality with the kids in the back I'm going to be in comfort mode 95% of the time.

It gives you such a good ride and a lot of variability as you go through the PASM modes depending on your mood/preference. It also gives the option to change the ride height. Lastly it gives the option to lower the rear end for easy boot loading - this is completely pointless in my opinion! Lowering the whole car does make it easier for cleaning the roof though :)
The Jekyll and Hyde character with the combination of the PASM and Air is one of the most appealing things and a stand out feature compared to the competition. Would be a shame not to spec it I think, I think I'd regret it in the long run.

Ditch air and sports chrono-normal sport mode more than enough
It's sort of expected on a GTS but hardly used.
I was always tempted by the base black but would need to get it ceramic coated which would be the price of the metallic anyway.

You get the Jekyll and Hyde effect with normal PASM

Like seats, suspensions and SC are best decided by driving different cars an adequate distance on different roads as they are personal choices. Go and do that and ignore all the comments in this thread. ;) ;) ;)

Right I will give mine then.

SC is very useful due to the steering wheel mode switch and individual setting even if you never get as far as sports plus.

There is a reason they now fit air as standard to GTS. yes just PASM give the stiffness variation but air means in the stiffer settings the ride Is still of a high standard and increases the ability to press on whilst driving the sort of road surfaces we have in the UK
