I bought two for my business. Both have had zero issues. Handling not as sharp as my old FX35 but the car feels a lot more expensive.

Favorite Features

Air suspension and exterior styling

only driver has one touch window, sunroof isn't one touch close, back seats are tiny, no power lift gate 15 mpg.

Love the looks. Had to change out the Continental Tires that were stock. 3 of the 4 had side wall issues. Dealership said must be abuse but I am 46, driven all prior cars with no accidents, no abuse and have done nothing but normal with this vehicle. Chromed wheels at same time. Looks great. Went off=road 2 times into real estate development on new roads just cleared. Both times in area where several other vehicles had 0 problems the RRS had issues and damage underneath. CHEAP< CHEAP ALLUMINUM shield (not steel) just crumples if contact anything. Underside sits so low (even w/ veh in hi) had damage at 2 - 3 mph over cleared area. 0 issues with Suburban.

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

Review

Could not be happier with this purchase. I traded in my BMW X5 4.4 toward the purchase of this and I am so pleased to have done so. Never thought a Land Rover would drive even better than a BMW! The whole family loves it. The Best SUV I have ever owned. (Have owned 9 Previously). This vehicle is incredibly well engineered. Serious Curb Appeal! Can't Wait to take the first long trip with it. Only Problem with it is you don't realize how fast you are moving in a nearly 6000 LB vehicle because it is so smooth and quiet.

Favorite Features

The Power, Performance and Handling are exceptional! Rear entertainment package is great for the baby. Brembo brakes. Best Touch Screen Navigation I have seen. Amazing stereo system...It Kicks!!! Upgraded to the Cherry Wood Steering Wheel and Shifter and it was worth it.The CLASSY SPORTY LOOK!

Suggested Improvements

My Main Gripe is that it does not come with power Folding side mirrors or power adjustment steering wheel. No iPod Integration!! Needs Automatic one touch on all windows not just driver.The interior room is a little tight. Improve gas mileage. A much Larger sun roof. Better All Weather Tires!!

Review

I love this truck. I looked at, and drove, virtually every high-end SUV on the market. Nothing came close to the RRS Supercharged in terms of style, ride and power.

Favorite Features

Power. Looks - turns lots of heads. She drives like a sportscar wrapped in a rhino's skin. Bluetooth technology is fantastic - works flawlessly with my Verizon phone. Nav., Sirius Radio, DVD and voice commands are great as well.

Suggested Improvements

Not much. However, a back-up camera within the nav. would be nice.

Review

I love being in my RRS. Writing from the UK where I drive a diesel. 29 mpg on a decent run. After 24,000 miles in 7 months (including a 2500 mile round trip to Poland after having taken delivery of the car 2 days before) I can safely say this is the best car I've driven. Quiet and smooth and when cruise control set to 100mph on German autobahns it's a dream. Very few niggles in my first 24,000 miles: warning lights often come on for no reason; dipping wing mirrors sometimes don't come back up, and problems finding the correct snow chains. But otherwise this car is FAB!!!!

Favorite Features

Great ride.

Suggested Improvements

Small amount of turbo lag. Faulty switches. Increase the range of mobile phones that are compatible with its systems.

Review

I love my car! I was really close to buying a garden variety 750i, but am so glad I got on the long waiting list for the Sport. Every time I drive it I get asked about it, and subsequent nods of approval. The interior is comfortable, and the industrial look rubber mats are perfect. The touch screen navigation is much better than last year's knob control, and the variable traction settings worked flawlessly on my road trip from Portland down to the OC. The new Jag engine concerned me while I was waiting for the car, but it is silky smooth. Also, the infamous British electrical system has not given me one problem, so far so good. All I can say is that I am one happy owner.Buy this car

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

I paid for Bluetooth, which initially didn't work with my Treo 650 - but a recent software upgrade to my phone fixed the issue. No other complaints.

The best

Review

This land rover is just like its older brother but is more sportier in the inside and out. It delivers the best quality performance you would like in the price range for this SUV. During the test drive, we went on a 70 degree angle which I thought we were going to tip but the sales lady assured me that these cars were made to do this off road activity and give a sporty atitude at the same time. It's not very powerful, I would compare the power to a BMW X5 3.0. However the Supercharged is very powerful like the X5 4.8. I give this car an A+ in all its capabilities and performance.

Cool Ride

Review

Great ride on the road and get lots of complements. Very comfortable and I love the looks. Not easy to lay down the second seat due to front seat leaning back to far. If you don't need lots of room in the rear, it's a great vehicle. Compared to the BMW, much more practicle and will keep it's value.

Favorite Features

Navigation, wide tires/rims,outside cosmetics, cool interior. Worth it's money. Not a bad color in the line.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, second seat laying down(not easy) more room or length in back.
