What build dates do people have for their new Range Rover Sport? I am Sep 5th.

Also struggling with the wheel choices. The 7 seat option will not allow you to have the 22" rims, only a choice of 21", none of which take my fancy, I'm curious if this is just me?!

The rear seats don't seem to be getting the best reviews.

IMHO, the rear seats 'may' get occasional use, the alloys get used ALL the time, so I would get the alloys you want & dump the 3rd row.

There is no 7 seat option on the new Sport. It is a 5+2 and the rear seats are designed to be for occasional use only by children.

I think I'm right in saying that first deliveries of the 5+2 option isn't until Jan. If you've got a Sept build date then not sure you'll be able to specify the 3rd row option....

If you are going for the 3.0, you should drive the car firt, it has massive turbo lag, on take off....

Seats are for the odd ferrying trips with the kids and their friends or more enjoyably for me a pub run when we have guests.

The car is for the wife so performance isn't too much of an issue, that said the base HSE 3.0 diesel has a quicker 0-60 sprint time than my 07 4.2 S/C HST.

The dealer hasn't pushed back on the 3rd row option and I haven't heard anything about it impacting delivery dates, so will keep my fingers crossed on that one.

To infinity and beyond.

5+2 was not an option on the first two order calls.

It may have an occasional 3rd row, but try getting in them!
