Anyone have an '11 or '12 full size? Have you enjoyed it? Any problems? I think this vehicle is a very nice compliment to any sports oriented car, particularly for those residing in cold climates.

I had a 2011 and sold it a couple of years ago, been missing it ever since. Right after I sold it I planned to buy a used 2012 around 2016/17 timeframe.
Enjoyed my '11 Supercharged (all black) for two years, never a single problem. Solid like a vault, ride smooth as velvet. Felt very comfortable carting toddlers around, no safety tests that I've seen but I have to believe that they are very safe. Dream to own an Autobiography with all that glorious leather. Been looking for a '12 for almost a year and think that I finally found the one. (Would love to share pictures but unable to post them anymore via app or website.)

I'm actually trading in my M5 here within the next week + $35,000 for a Supercharged 2014 RR with 17k miles! It would have been a straight swap for a 2012 but, I like the new look and it comes with the extended warranty, although I never keep my cars more than a year so not like it matters!

Have you looked into any mods for your RR?
Nice. Good luck with your new RR. I was close to picking up a '16 TDI after waiting for LR to bring Diesel engine to US for the last six years. I had such a great experience with my '11 SC and still prefer the looks of the old one that I decided to go for the low mileage '12 and wait for my diesel a couple more years (hopefully larger diesel by then).

As far as mods go I will probably just get the deployable side steps for now. LR made some sick wheels for the L322and I've always been obsessed with Style 14s so I will probably swap the wheels at some point. Still don't know how I feel about the ones coming with my Autobiography.
Also, probably put on a roof rack but haven't really thought much more about mods, just still waiting for delivery from Houston dealer should arrive within the next week. (Tried posting pictures of the wheels I was referring to but the wrong pictures posted, arghh!)
