I like both, but tell me the good and bad points on a Sport  Classic owner, but soon to be a Sport.

I think the answer to that is very subjective.

Also a strange comparison IMO. For me, it's comfy, lazy, fairly cheap to run (coming from 911 ownership), lots of aftermarket bits to keep me interested and practical should I need to give lifts / move furniture / dead bodies etc...  2007 TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Class, good breeding, drivability..............Since buying my RRS I'm now taken much more seriously as a leading drugs dealer on my patch!

Have you tried a sport?if not once you have you will know why.One of our freinds have just changed their TdV8 for a Q7,as nice as the Q7 is,it just doesn't give you THAT feeling Still they will just have to make do with a couple of their other runabouts for that.A Bentley and a Ferrari

Ones built in Britain t'other aint  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

From the point of view of someone who doesn't yet own one I think no other 4x4 comes close. I've test driven Q7s, ML's and the T5 and although some may have higher specs they don't have that feeling you get when in a RRS.

I don't look at a vw T5 and think what a machine, the RRS has a real presence on the road I don't think anyone's given a vw a second look when it's gone past you. Obviously that sounds quite snobby but I'd rather be up here than in th gutter!

mate of mine runs T5's in his business and bought a matching caravelle for his mrs to ferry the kids around in, it looks great but it is a van at the end of the day, she's desperate for a 4x4

not that many people will do this



but just knowing you can ..................

My point is that I have been a vdub nut for years, but have also owned a classic rangey for about 10 years, and thought I might go for a sport. I have also asked the opposite question on my local VW site to get their opinion.

Im a VW nut too mate but i wouldn't swap my RRS for a T5

If you want a van, then have look at the pikey wagons D3 & D4s  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

OK so I am going to go for a sport , either a 07/08 2.7 V6, but are there any problems with them, and what do I need to be aware of  Classic owner, but soon to be a Sport.
