Well it's been a long 4 months of waiting, various rental cars (since I turned in my SQ5) and countless hours of researching and second guessing myself/build.
'19 Supercharged Dynamic
Carpathian Grey w/ Black Roof and Ebony/Ebony Interior
Dark Grey Oak Trim
Meridian 825W
22" 9 Split-Spoke Wheels
DPP
VAP
Heated Windshield, Heated/Cooled Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, Center Console Frig and Soft Door Close
First Impressions: This is my first Rover and I'm quite impressed by how nicely it drives and how solid it feels on the road. I was really concerned about the ride quality of the 22" wheels, but I'm pleasantly surprised. When I test drove the RRS, they only had ones with 21" wheels. Our other car, a BMW 340i, has the m-sport package and 19" wheels. The RRS is MUCH smoother. The sound of the V8 is awesome (neighbors probably don't like it in the morning), can't wait to open her up a little more (kids love it too). I had never seen my exact setup in person, just in photos. The Carpathian Grey is an amazing color. My favorite grey used to be Audi/VW Daytona Pearl grey, but this has moved into first place!
Not loving the heated windshield, but I think it takes some getting used to. Living in SoCal, it's probably not necessary, but seems like most Rovers are ordered with it, since it's a free option.
My only disappointment is the lack of surround camera. I could have swore in '18 it was included in DPP or maybe I just read 360 Parking Aid as surround camera. Our other car is a 340i and I always use it to park, when pulling up to curbs.
Questions:
Next up, I would like to get the front windows tinted slightly darker and install my radar detector.

Questions:
- Does the top glove box pop slightly open when you hit the button or fold down?
- Are the "premium" floor mats (the one with aluminum tips) that much nicer?
Next up, I would like to get the front windows tinted slightly darker and install my radar detector.
