Going to buy one for the wife to drive the kids to school..will probably go for the SVR I think. May get it modded too.
I do hope with sidesteps, tinted windows and a body kitLove the new Range Rover, which oozes a restraint class. Don't really see the point of the Sport.
I bought a new TDV8 just after the 2008 financial crash
It had been sitting in an airfield for months and came with a spectacular discount
It was sublime
Admittedly I didnt commute it but as family car and dog sled hit the spot with knobs on
Motorway journeys were a joy and it took us to the south of France many times occasionally hitting 28mpg
On the way back from the supplying dealer I took it over a green lane, not sure many other owners could say that
I fitted wintrac extremes from November to March and it was utterly unstoppable even through the worst of it
Id have this one in a heartbeat however the tide has turned and public opinion is becoming increasingly antagonistic against this type of car plus Ive gone back to my roots and have rediscovered 6 pot German estate cars (with winter tyres obvs)
Still miss it, easily one of my favourite cars - sniff

It's a full on driver's car.

I live in this area too. They are everywhere. Normally bought at 3-4 years old (just in time for the depreciation and running costs to really kick in) and on the never never, owned by folk with a modest semi detached new build and paying down against p!ss take APR.
Range Rover is to what Burberry was in the mid 00s. They project the opposite of what the owners try and convey.

My best conclusion about the stupidly skewed car to house monthly cost ration (must be 1:1 in many cases locally) is that your can drive your black body/black wheeled RR around showing people how gangster and successful you are. If you spent the £800 per month on a better house, no-one would see you driving up and down the high street in front of the wine bar/pub/club and would therefore not appreciate how much of a player you are.
And before anyone piles on about jealousy, my house to car value ratio (new, cash price) is about 20 to one. If i were leasing them all, 10 to one.

Surely just let people get on with their own lives rather than getting so worked up into a rage you need to tell everyone?

Never really got the ‘I hate car x and the people who drive them’. The majority of hassle on our roads comes from poor driving and has pretty much nothing to do with what car they drive. Buy whatever you want and spend whatever you want on it. If someone wants to spend £900 a month at 11% apr then by all means go for it. You only live once and if it’s something you want to do, who’s right is it to tell you otherwise.

Judging someone by the car they drive, being able to know the state of their finances and getting worked up by the car itself… seriously ridiculous.
They are an almost perfect example of virtue signalling in its original sense before the expression got hijacked by the idiocrats. In the same way that a peacock invests a big chunk of metabolic effort growing a ridiculous tail just to show a potential mate that it can afford to do it, so people buy RRS. Like the bird's tail, they represent a daft engineering solution to what you'd think was their primary purpose, getting from A to B, but of course that isn't their primary purpose. Their primary purpose is display and competition with their peers; other peacocks in the case of the tail, other <insert politer term for aspiring chavs when I can think of one> in the case of the RRS.
