Hi From Wales. Advice on a brand new Sport Autobiography! | |
Hey everyone. Just joined, been lurking around for a while reading all the helpful info on here!
We are considering a brand new, or 'nearly' new, Range Rover Sport Autobiography 3.0 Diesel. After visiting our local Stratstone dealership (Cardiff) the big question was wether my mother could comfortably drive the larger Range Rover, but after sitting and looking around both the sport seems to be ample.
My main question is (as broad as it maybe) is are there any particular things to look out for if we were to get a year, possibly two year old autobiography? Are there any particular options to look for when looking for a used one? Only differences i can see between newer and older autobiog's is the gear selectors, and the new ones seem to have that silver 'strip' across the rear bootlid.
Reason i ask is because on various reviews ive read of 2010 models onwards, most critics mention about Land Rovers previous reliability record. Yet on some other blogs or posts i read others rave how good the news ones are, so its puzzling to say the least.
Also, without getting into too much of a slanging match, is the 3.6 TDV8 worth the extra pennies over a 3.0v6? cant help but think the 3.0 diesel will feel tiresome compared to a petrol 4.4 V8 we've just had.
Its replacing our just sold X5, which was a fantastic car to own since new in 03. I personally am a big VW fan, and have a mk4 golf on 19'' range rover HSE wheels haha.
Appreciate all your input.
Irfan
