Picked up my '14 RRSS Autobiography- Review

After having my 2011 RRSS for a few years now I decided to trade it in for the new 2014 model. I have only been driving it for a few days now but I can tell you the difference is pretty impressive so far. The '11 was not slow by any means but the 2014 now has an aluminum chassis that reduced the weight significantly which you can really fell while driving. The Sport still has the supercharged direct-injected 5.0L motor but its now paired with an 8 speed transmission and the tighter gear ratio makes shifting much smoother.

Best new features:
- When you put it in Dynamic mode the gauges turn red, this is just really cool.
- The 5 camera system, the resolution is grainy at night but its a nice feature to have.
- Its bigger! The new Sport is wider and longer but the weight reduction makes it feel sportier.
- Climate seats, never understood why it took so long for RR to offer A/C seats.
- The Exhaust, it sounds MEAN under throttle. They finally let this motor breathe!

Worst new features:
- Eco mode, every time you come to a stop the engine shuts down. Its going to take some getting used to.
- No more double glove box. Need to find a new home for my concealed carry, open to suggestions!
- It is now offered in a V6, it is a supercharged V6 but still the US RRSS should be only V8.

The Autobiography opens up a variety of interior colors, I went with the ebony/cirrus/lunar combo and could not be happier with it.


Here is my new '14 with my old '11 in the background:
