So my Auntie has bought a Range Rover Sport...any good?

[StinkyBoy]

Never worked a single day in her life. Her hubbie works/runs a "suspect" firm also....

Living the life as you would say...

'10 plate' Sport - paid for in apparently "cash"...

Are they any good? Reliability and mpg-wise? I was considering one until they bought one!

considering the size on the outside, surprisingly small on the inside. They're notc rmaped, just not as big as you might expect. And the one I know averages 15mpg. Useless and pointless in the UK.

What is the point of this thread?

[iggletiggle]

as okgo has said above.. whats the point here?

The 2010 RR Sports are fantastic cars if thats what your looking for - Big looking car, presence on the road, few toys, good in adverse conditions (snow/ice/light mud/dirt tracks)

TDV6 averages about 25-30mpg, TDV8 around 20-25mpg and the supercharged around 15-20mpg

All in all a vast improvement over the previous gen RRS as they seem to have sorted a lot of the "issues" out.. although only time will truely tell here..

She'll enjoy that.

In view of the OP's chosen name and the details of his relations - they must be Pikey's .....

Can you get a photo of you posing on the bonnet of it with her....>?

You post some very odd threads.

There was a kid I went to primary school with who was always telling us about the crazy things his uncle Melvin got up to and all the expensive things his aunty Sheila bought at the weekend. He was such a wacky fellow.

It should be noted that Melvin and Sheila did not exist.

Much to my surprise I have a first generation TDV8

Its a beautiful car

The RRS was never on my short list until I drove one

There arent many cars which:

carry a family of 5 in comfort
get me to work safely and predictably in snow and ice
regularly drive up rutted farm tracks without complaint
tow 3 tonnes
are fun to punt when alone behind the wheel

Cheers!!

Disagree completely.

You may not like the image, but that doesn't make it a bad car.
