Hey guys, I just test drove a 2010 RRS today and all I can say is WOW. After the test drive it made my decision 100% clear that this is the front runner by a mile as far as purchasing one in the coming month.
What I loved about it is all the new features and interior designs so to say that the new model possess.
Love the rear camera option, the warm seats, etc.
However, I am looking for a model that has the 4.4 L due to gas reasons. I don't need a 5.0 that eats 12mpg where as the 4.4 is about 15 mpg I believe.
I originally thought it was the 06' that came wiht it but I believe the 07 does as well...What year does the engine change to a bigger one? 08' is the last 4.4 or 09'?
Also, someone close to me that works with dealers says that the Range has a very high lease cost because they prefer people to buy than lease due to the inability to hold its value and problems it causes.
I have noticed that miles on this car drops the car value tremendously and was wondering if this is a smart choice. He said without warranty, maintenance is extremely expensive on this vehicle along with the problems it is known for creating. Another relative had theirs in the service center in and out on a monthly basis and this isn't somethign I want to deal with. Is the RR that bad when it comes to this stuff?
Also, what is the main difference between the model year with the 4.4 engine compared to the new one? Is it too risky purchasing an 06-07 due to mileage and usage ? How much does extended warranty generally cost? Thanks a ton guys appreciate it!!
PS: it was a HSE model I drove and the brakes on that thing on awesome and the power...not sure why someone would need a SC on it...and I came from a s2000.
