I would be very grateful if current Range Rover Sport owners could list the top 3 things that they like about the model and the top 3 dislikes. If the answers could be restricted to 2 or 3 words per like or dislike and based on the vehicle or the overall customer experience.

As a thank you I will select (at random) a forum member from those who have responded before 9am on Thursday 31st March and send them an off road voucher. The draw will take place later on Thursday.

If you could reply to this post as set out below then it would be appreciated.

Feedback on later models would be more relevant, however any RRS would be useful.
