Replacement for RR Sport Supercharger

[homerjay]

my mum has a had a 55 range rover sport for 3 years now and big bills have started to occur, about 3k in the last 6 months or so.

its also started having more issue's with starting in a morning and throttle reponse.

her mileage has started getting a bit silly, so needs to replace with something more economical than 12mpg.

must be a luxurious 4x4 for under 30k and needs to be under 3 years old.

she likes "square cars not round ones"

go...

Q7? It's "squareness" could be debated though...

[belleair302]

There are a number of BMW X5's on 07 plates or newer both V8's and diesels available for that money, and just fit decent all weather not summer tyres.

Grand Cherokee?

[homerjay]

rx - good shout, dont see many. (not sure about its squareness)
q7 - agreed, is it round or is it square?
x5 - she doesnt like these, a drive may persuade her though
rr - she would love this car, but is gonna be any cheaper to run that current rr, its on 18 months newer.


i still cant believe the key aspect of this car is "squareness".....

They don't come much squarer than a Discovery. The new ones seem to be ok too.

she's had 4 or 5 over the years. always v8's. fancied something different.

and imo the derv disco is a underpowered.

TDV6 Disco 3/4
Jeep Grand Cherokee

What are Land Cruisers and Shoguns like these days?

[LukeBird]

Mazda CX-7?
Ok, not hugely economical but quite a nice looking car, even in the scheme of SUVs!

[Chris_w666]

XC90?

[homerjay]

cx7 - i like the look of those, but no way would she go for it.
xc90 - cracking car from what ive read, i'll suggest that one.

[Chris_w666]

A friend has just replaced an ML270 with the 200hp D5 XC90 and it is a great car, huge boot and exceptionally comfortable.

Excellent economics. "This car needs plugging in to a diagnostic machine to highlight a worn part. I think I'll sell it and buy something else."

RR Sport TDV8

Or a Disco HSE.

They seem to be square enough...

It does.
The TDV8 is (currently?) only available in the Range Rover.
