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

Review

This vehicle was bought to replace the Lexus GX 470, it is far superior to the Lexus and it a real pleasure to drive. They thought of everything, already own the Range Rover and could not be happier with the new body style and cockpit design.

Favorite Features

New body style, "cokpit" design and addition of satellite radio. Bluetooth for phone and overall build quality

Suggested Improvements

The cupholders are not a plentiful as the Range Rover but that is it

My RRS HSE

Review

I bought this truck the weekend it was available to the public back in July of 2005. I can't tell you the goose bumps I'd get when people on the street turned their heads to check it out, saying, "I thinks that's the NEW Range Rover Sport", and "NICE TRUCK!" I still have the same sense of excitement every time I start the ignition now at 5,500 miles as I did the day I bought it! If you are looking for a sports sedan - scrap that - a sports car feel but in a full-time all wheel drive luxury SUV, this is your vehicle. I challenge you this...if you have the means, just test drive it and I bet you buy one.

Favorite Features

Voice integrated phone system with a yellow pages type directory built right into the trucks computer. 600-watt, 14-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system. Sleek exterior styling unmatched by any other SUV I have ever seen.

Suggested Improvements

An all windows "up and down" button A motorized rear hatch

Review

Simply a pleasure...Everthing about the car says luxury and cornering in this vehicle is a breeze. This SUV is made for someone looking for that "sport car feel" with all the off road capability. To me that gives you the best of both worlds. That being said if you need the the absolute best from both worlds don't expect this car to deliver. It is made to handle almost anything not outperform everything.

Favorite Features

Exterior style is second to none, bluetooth and the engine gives you a complete response.

Suggested Improvements

Location of power door lock button is suspect

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

Review

This is the fifteenth Land Rover I have had include RRs, Disco, D-90s and even another Sport. It is the fastest, best equipped, smartest looking vehicle LR has made. It performs well in all modes and brings to the driving experience the combination of luxury and on/off road performance with several driving options.

Favorite Features

GPS, although a bit difficult at first, is superior to any I've seen even providing a panoply of "views". Radio is tops, seats very comfortable. Choice of driving modes and condition settings.

Suggested Improvements

Steering wheel settings should be electronic in a nearly 80K vehicle. Side view mirrors should retract automatically. Doors should close easier and rear gate should be electronic closing. Headrests in front seats should be adjustable.

Review

If you're looking for an SUV that drives as smooth as a luxury sedan, handles like a sports car, plush interior, and is a real off road vehicle...look no further then the Range Rover Sport. Best in its class, best on the road

Favorite Features

Where to start? Everything works the way it's supposed to..from bumper to bumper.

Suggested Improvements

the only flaw is, the rear passenger seatbelt guide has a tendency to come off (when no passenger is in the seat)

Review

Traded in a Volvo XC90 for this Sport and that was a great decision. Drives wonderfully and is a SOLID vehicle. Love the nav sys., sat. and voice command. British accent is so cool!

Favorite Features

Love the nav. sys. and warning beepers in bumpers!. You get used to having them real quick. Fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Need to update the bluetooth phone acceptance system. My nextel works sporadically and dlrshp says not to use as it can damage nav. sys. Better get sys. updgraded pretty soon. Want to utilize this feature.

Review

After one week of driving this car, i am amazed at what it can do. The performance and handling are amazing. I looked at other performance SUVs and I know I made the right choice. The truck is fully loaded and is fun to drive. You have the feeling of complete control while driving.

Favorite Features

Power, performance and handling. The view while driving is great, you see everything. Rear entertainment package is great with a few kids.

Suggested Improvements

Power rear hatch, automatic one touch on all windows not just driver, power adjustment steering wheel

Review

When I first saw the RRS I knew this was the one. I remain impressed with the AWD technology as well as the verifiable reputation that Land Rover has for "getting you there and back" This is one of those cars that after you lock it and walk away, you look over you shoulder to check it out.

Favorite Features

Nav technology, screaming stereo system, easy access to all controls and the style both inside and outside.

Suggested Improvements

voice recognition a bit "iffy" also they advertise that the vehicle is equipped with M&S tires, not so! they are high performance summer tires, I live in Lake Tahoe these tires won't cut it in the snow.

RR Sport SC

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

Review

I was hesitant to trade in my M3 for a family car, but have been extremely pleased with my RR Sport SC. It has more than enough power/performance at any speed to satisfy, has the ability to travel in any enviroment, seats five and has the "park it in the front" apeal to the valet parkers anywhere I go in sin city. Who could ask for more?

Favorite Features

Engine. Very impressive performance for a sport utility. Bluetooth features- knows my phone is in the car even when it is in my briefcase, and automaticaly routes my call through the radio. Cooler is a crowd pleaser. Ice cold drinks at any time.

Suggested Improvements

Feels narrow, could use slightly more room in driver seat. I'm 6'3" and thin but 2"-3" more would make it perfect.

Better than ever expected.

Review

I had previously owned an LR Discovery and wasn't too thrilled with the design or performance. I thought I'd never own another LR until I saw the Sport. I had to see it. Then had to drive it. Then had to own it. The car is incredible. Most nimble SUV on the planet and with classy style to boot. Plenty of power, interior space, and creature comfort features.

Favorite Features

Interior space, rear storage area, towing capacity, power, all wheel drive, handling. The overall appearance is a 10!

Suggested Improvements

None. This vehicle is incredibly well engineered.
