Ownership truths of supercharged 2015 on.

Hi Guys, I am thinking of going for a new supercharged RR and having known Land Rover products since I was a child, I know the only people worth asking about the car to live with from a reliability aspect are existing owners. So.... does anyone here have a supercharged RR that is 2015 or newer? Would you be able to give me a summary if you are happy with it any issues, major or otherwise would be very much appreciated before I take the plunge. I know there is the new model but guessing that is only tweaks here and there. Only thing I did not like is the stop start but I gather you can cheat this by removing a battery in the boot. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance. 2003 VW Golf V6 4motion

I've just bought a new one, fabulous car and I can't recommend it highly enough. The stop start can be disabled by a switch on the centre console but this has to be done manually, I'm not aware of a more permanent solution but I disable mine out of habit every time I start up.
Fab engine, goes really well, sounds nice what's not to like? Nothing apart from the hugely useless dealers. See my post:

Absolutely brilliant, wouldnt go near a diesel, you only live once so do it in style not any better way to travel.

I'd think long & hard about removing the battery in the boot - it's there for a reason - like being able to have the radio on without the engine running.

If you remove it, it may fool the stop/start - but only because it's worried that it wouldn't start again......

Mine's not a 2015 but no major problem to report. Great car which I'm thinking of replacing with a new SVAutobiography Dynamic. Probably worth waiting for the 2018 MY facelift though.
