The Ultimate Luxury SUV

2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE 4dr SUV 4WD (4.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I traded in my 1997 Range Rover 4.6 HSE for the new Range Rover Sport HSE. You get the best of both worlds with the Range Rover Sport: The classic Range Rover styling and off-road capabilities coupled with the performance of a luxury sedan. The design of this vehicle is very upmarket. It is a handsome car. The interior quality is excellent. I have the very rare upgraded "Ivory" leather and cherry wood which looks much more opulent than the darker "Alpaca" and standard black "Ebony" interior. It looks and feels like a fine British coach. (I do wish the seats had darker piping like the big Rover.) Excellent power, handling and ride. Electronics are top notch. All A+

Favorite Features

The looks. The navigation. The voice command system. The quality of the interior. Great xenons. High quality leather (Lux pkg.) Superb wood. Great handling. Great engine note. Lots of power. Gadgets, gadgets, GADGETS! Two gloveboxes. The ice box.

Suggested Improvements

Erratic transmission shifts at very low speeds. Small sunroof. Only driver's side has auto up/down windows. No split tailgate. Cheap looking radio controls (Should be integrated into nav system like the big Rover.) Better bluetooth integration. Awkward rear headrests. Better tires. Sensitive brakes.

Bonatti Grey RRS SUPERCHARGED

Vehicle

2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged 4dr SUV 4WD (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)

Review

Great vehicle, fun to drive, strong performance, great handling and turns heads everywhere I go. I have only had one consistent problem and that is a "Faulty suspension" indicator that keeps coming on and locking the vehicle in standard height. I have to then restart the car in order to get it to go away. It's finicky and can happen several times in a day. Other than that, one of the best vehicles I ever bought.

Favorite Features

SUPERCHARGED engine, sound system, terrain response, brembo brakes, dynamic response system.

Suggested Improvements

Ignition switch is in a very difficult spot, maybe move it into the dash. Backup camera, powered liftgate as well. Rear seat head rests are very uncomfortable when they are down and are hard to pull up. Change the tire size to a more popular size for more options. I upgraded my size to a 275/45R20.

Range Rover Sport

Review

Many problems with our RR Sport. Fuel pump went out at less than 500 mi while we were on the interstate. Car came to complete stop, we were nearly killed. 5 months later the differential went, 1 after that back in shop for transmission problems. Back in shop again today at 1 year with bad alternator. Very unreliable for a $65k car. Love the look, comfort, amenities, etc..., but if the car won't run, none of that really matters does it?

Favorite Features

Interior and exterior appearance. Interior comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Build a car that runs.

Review

It's been a month now since we got our RR Sport Supercharged and it has been and still is and will always be "FUN TO DRIVE"! If you don't mind the gas mileage on this baby then you should take a look at this SUV. I checked out the competition and this became my choice of toy. Overall, I give high remarks on the FUN FACTOR, Performance, Overall Design, Quality, Creature Comforts, etc. Maybe they should rename this car and badge it as "Range Rover SuperSport"! ;)

Favorite Features

Too many to mention!!! :P

Suggested Improvements

Hmmm, maybe Land Rover could come up with a Range Rover Sport Supercharged that's more economical coz w/ the gas prices nowadays, it sure ain't cheap!!! hehe... but still a lot of fun to drive!!! :D

Review

Yep, I am a gal that owns the Sport and I absolutely dig this car! Of course the gas mileage can be an issue but other than that and a few other issues: the tailgate is a little heavy for me to pull down, there isn't a lot of room for stuff in the center console (girls need room for stuff!) and the steering wheel blocks the odometer panel so that I am constantly having to look around and through it to see the stats etc... Now for the positive stuff! Design is incomparable! This is a beauty on the exterior and I got the total package so my clients can feel comfortable when viewing property. (I'm in real estate). My kids love the dvd and surround sound, it's killer! Buy it, you deserve it!

Super charged of course, That makes all the difference in the world.

I owned a 2000 Range Rover and had nothing but problems with it but bought the new sport and love it the look is so sporty it looks very classy. I like it better than the big big body.

Tailgate too heavy for me to pull down.
