2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

What vehicle did you jump ship from?

Just been out in my RRS tonight again and can't believe how good a drive it is. I've mainly had Audi and Mercedes saloons in the past, but never had a true "smile on my face" drive before.

My last car was a Volvo XC90 which my wife now drives. That one previously felt like a fairly commanding driving position until I got behind the wheel of a Sport.

As a comparison the Sport feels bigger, but nimbler and absolutely silky smooth. Just pure class. Can't knock the XC90 though - a very nice car and the 7 seats come in very handy.

What did you have previously (apart from other RRS) and how does your Sport compare?

X5 before!

Tried ALL the 4 x 4's... RRS topped the list, which was (from memory) a bit like this:

1. RRS
2. New X5
3. ML
4. XC
5. X3
…Didnt try the Porker cos it looks like poo.(xcept turbo)!

So There!

BMW 7 series sport for me - I do love the RRS driving position but there are a couple of things I liked on the BMW - but only a couple - I liked the start button on the BM - I liked that the rear headrests were electrically operated - I liked the electrically opening and closing boot. But thats about it. Goinf from a saloon to 4x4 very different but after 20 years of BM i did want a change. Didnt like the X5 alternative one bit. Love the RRS change.

2nd best 4x4 is my wife's Disco 3.

I loved it - but it was never the same after a drunk in a Vauxhall Astra GTi tried to drive straight onto a roundabout that I was already on and flattened the engine and front end............................. it rotted pretty quickly as well after it had been repaired 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
