Poor software ruining my experience

This is my third RR Sport and the one with the most problems. Within days of leaving the dealership there with issues with the infotainment center - cameras not working, radio, phone, ambient lighting all intermittently failing. The dealership said this was the first time they had seen this happen - based on other reviews this must not be true - but the blame was put on my iphone. The car software was updated from v2 to v4 - again not sure why the sell a new 2019 model with old software - which has fixed some of the issues but gremlins still creep in without warning with the system shutting down randomly. To me not being able to use my phone hands free could be a safety issue as is not having the backup camera functioning when needed. I'm also worried about the reliability of the features like adaptive cruise control. The dealership did tell me all new products like computers or software go through a phase like this and should be expected. My computer didn't cost $83,000 so my expectations are much higher and this seems to be a problem that isn't new. I would avoid the RR Sport until they sort these issues out.

I wanted to wait before I could write a review. I feel comfortable now to say that this $90,000 vehicle is the most UNRELIABLE car you can purchase. Unfortunately, I went for looks since the vehicle looks awesome but the electronics and software of it feels like it has not yet been perfected. I’ve had issues since the day I pulled it out of the dealership’s driveway. I should have known that I had bought a huge expensive problematic vehicle. First problem a computer problem where the keys would not respond to lock/unlock doors. This took an extensive 12 day at the shop to figure what was causing the problem. Second problem, after only a little over 1,000 miles the water pump broke and that was another 10 days + of wait for parts to arrive since parts come from Great Britain. No parts in the US but yet car is sold here. Third visit to the shop was for a regular service call but when i thought car was ready, the engine light was lit. Another few days passed before I was able to take it home. Fourth visit, a water leak inside vehicle (driver’s side and seat behind driver) drenched in water and also a service was due. . Again, vehicle was kept in the shop for over a week and loaners are never available. After Paying over $1000 in service, leak was fixed which I was told it was an air conditioning fault. Took the car home and after short of a week an engine light comes on and the passenger’s A/C is blowing hot air. Unfortunately, there is no words to describe how unhappy and disappointed I am to own this EXPENSIVE JUNK of a car. I know I will not be keeping this miserable car for very long. A big piece of advice to anyone who might be contemplating the idea of purchasing one, TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Nice Car with lots of expensive maintenance

The car looks great but be prepared to regularly put brakes, rotors and tires on the vehicle. The stocks tires that come with the car will wear out between 30-40,000 miles. The brake pads (front and back) will average about 12K before they need to be replaced, depending on miles driven that equates to yearly brake pad service. The cost for dealer replacement is between $950-$1500.

I smile every time I get in this car. This is my 2nd RRS(previous was a 2008). So glad I waited for this refresh year. The exterior is stunning. The interior and infotainment is the biggest upgrade to me. Yes, the new touch pro duo isn’t perfect. But to me, it’s one of the best in class. My issues are minor. An occasional glitch on the screen or a lost connection with my iPod touch. Most of this will be resolved with the latest software update. Which will also add Apple car play! I went with the V6 HSE Dynamic this time. I thought I would really miss the V8. Surprisingly, there is not much difference out on the road. Especially in Dynamic mode. I do want the growl from the exhaust. So next time, I will break down and get the V8. As with any luxury car, you get what you pay for. Parts are expensive as the car ages. But you should know and expect this. For the cars I considered (Audi Q7, BMW X5 or X6, Porsche Macaan), this one checked all the boxes for what I wanted. Appearance Style Drive comfort Upgraded technology It’s a joy to drive.
