I now realise why everybody loves Range Rovers
Discussion
I drive a friend's 2.7 07 Sport a while back. Even on 22s it was so darn smooth I've never driven anything like it. I only drove sedately but loved it.
Like many cars, one I could afford but would never buy owning to all the horror stories. I have probably missed out on loads of perfectly fine cars over the years but I am risk averse!

The sooner an incredibly expensive and onerous road tax based on vehicle size and weight is introduced the better.
Don't want all these ott polar bear killing off road vehicles occupied by perma tanned Jordan wannabes with their Asda bags and hideous offspring cluttering up all our valuable roadspace, supermarket car parks and permanently obstructing every school gate do we.
Or perhaps the OP does.

I hope you have some kind of insurance cover for all the cars your borrowing. the lenders wont be happy if the BIB impound the car your driving!
I hate how many killjoy hand-wringers there are on PH.a lot of drivers 'think' they are covered to drive anything.
Not nearly so many actually are.
Its all great fun, until it goes wrong !
Another poster mentioned they’re easy to park, I forgot to mention this as the steering is very light, lighter than my mother’s Rav in fact, however you can’t argue with the 55+ mpg fuel consumption in the hybrid

The former fail to intimidate or impress me however much they try, the latter have absolutely no idea how to overtake let alone park.

As usual complete nonsense from you.
I used to quite like them and then I drove a Cayenne. The Cayenne is just a class apart as a driving tool. Off-road, I wouldn't know as I don't drive on mud. My Merc is good but I won't be keeping it. It's far too big, as is a Cayenne, so I'll be going Macan. A friend has an Overfinch. I much prefer that to any factory RR.

Hahaha its funny you say that as I urged her not to get a Range Rover and spend the 10k on something a lot more economical and modern but she insisted on a 4x4 and it had to be a Range Rover.Don't want all these ott polar bear killing off road vehicles occupied by perma tanned Jordan wannabes with their Asda bags and hideous offspring cluttering up all our valuable roadspace, supermarket car parks and permanently obstructing every school gate do we.

:I’d personally never buy one as I don’t fancy 22 mpg in a slow 2.5 tonne suv but if I did come into a lot of money, I’d buy a new 4.4 V8 diesel one

That’s the thing, despite pricing and dimensions, I now consider RR’s in a completely different league to the German ‘rivals’. A Cayenne might corner better but that’s not what it’s about. The RRS I have been driving has been objectively s
te...seriously, thirsty, loud and slow BUT, It gave me a feeling no other car has which I believe makes Range Rovers stand out from the ‘rivals’. av185 said:

I traded my S320 for it, so it only owed me £1300. did a bit over 1k in it before I realised it didn't have enough performance to justify 7mpg. I loved driving it though, easy to drive, easy to park, very smooth and managed £2k for it when I sold it. I'd only own a T/SDV8 again though. Isn't the Sport just a Disco 3?
7mpg? Did you leave the handbrake on?Edited by aaron_2000 on Sunday 1st December 18:59
I agree, its amazing driving other peoples Range Rovers- you can give them back and you don't have to worry about them or pay for them!
It does have a regal feeling and you kinda feel special..even in a £7k Sport example.
Also, when you get back into a normal car - even something like a Mondeo - it feels like a racing car in comparison.
...would never own a RR though..

I completely agree, her one had 22 inch Kahn wheels in black that we’re all curbed and whenever I got out of it, I thought to myself, everybody must have thought I was a BTEC drug dealer who was trying hard to look rich but I never thought that when I was behind the wheel. Behind the wheel, I felt like an oligarch who was above everyone It does have a regal feeling and you kinda feel special..even in a £7k Sport example.

My mate in the pub said he only managed 34 minutes of driving his despite owning it for five years. The rest of the time it was back at the dealership.
True story.
