Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE 2008

I have just had a Range Rover Sport (2008) TDV8 HSE for 3 days as a hire car, while my own car was being repaired. I own a 2008 Dodge Nitro SXT V6. I found the cabin in the Range Rover very cramped with no room for the driver. The Dash board is just inches away from you, and every time you take your left hand off the steering wheel you knock the auto gearbox lever. I found the ride of this vehicle very poor, so poor in fact that it made me sick. It rolls and bounces around all over the place - it’s horrible! By the time I did my 10 mile drive to work on one day I almost threw up. My stomach was that upset by all the rolling around. I was totally shocked, as I expected the Range Rover to be miles ahead of my Dodge Nitro, but actually its miles behind. My Dodge is far superior in many ways. Oh and finally the Harmon Kardon sound system is also rubbish. The stereo in my wife’s Astra sounds better with more bass. Not a good car at all. If you are looking at Range Rovers, you seriously need to check out other large 4x4 vehicles as well.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE 2008

Please read - I do not believe this. Having had two previous Range Rover Sport’s and on the whole having been very pleased with the vehicle; and the residual has been good. I ordered a 2009 mode build and took delivery of my new RRS HSE on the 14th November 2008, from the same supplier of my previous two RRS in Peterborough. I was given a quick vehicle check and off I drove; then 3 hours later the nightmare started - auto box not working correctly, having to switch to trip-tronic, contacted the dealer, no answer, stranded in Horsham, West Sussex. Saturday the 15th - contacted the dealer three times, I had turbo failure, loss of automatic gear box, the whole vehicle shook, diesel spilling down the sides of the car, due to lack of response support from the dealer I contacted Land Rover Support, who having taken the vehicle details, number plate, chassis number I was told I could not have the car as it was showing it was still at Land Rovers compound in the Midlands and as they did not have any details re-warranty they could not assist me. Sunday the 16th of November, reluctantly L/R assistant did attend, the person who attended confirmed I did have the vehicle and I was the legal owner, they tried to fix the auto-box, recommended the vehicle should be returned to Peterborough and they would arrange a loan car, I would have to give a credit card and agree to a debit of £2,500 pounds? The way I was treated, abandoned, notwithstanding I was heading off to Germany I had to continue my journey and pray I would make it. Monday the 17th I took the vehicle to land Rover in Monchengladbach who looked over the vehicle told me I should reject the vehicle, there reasons were:- body damage, the vehicle has had a full re spray , damage and repairs to various parts of the car, the interior needs completely replacing, all the leather seats need replacing, metal exposed with no paint or under coat. And Rover Monchengladbach contacted land Rover UK as the German dealer could not help me as the warranty was still not showing on any system. A representative form Land Rover contacted me in the end I had been trying to contact them up and till that time I had spoken with no less than 35+ people within land Rover UK. The representative of Land Rover informed me he could not see until the following week as he was off to Mons for a vehicle show and they did not have a spare car for me so I would have to wait till Friday 28th November. Please note I had formerly in writing rejected this vehicle on the 15th of November. This was later confirmed by Land Rover on Monday the 17th of November. Friday 28th November - in attendance myself, the land Rover Representative and land Rovers technical person, following the inspection, they gave me a copy of their findings, confirming the major faults with the vehicle i.e. very bad paint work, all the leather seats would need to be replaced with new, along with the aforementioned , even having inspected the vehicle and confirming not just to me but the garage, the vehicle should not have been supplied in the first instance, the Land Rover Rep was still trying to get me to take the car. Saturday 29th An independent technician inspected the vehicle he was from [ADAC] and confirmed all of the faults and found a further 25-30 more major faults, he confirmed that the vehicle had either been in an accident or very badly damaged and should not have been supplied, he informed the Land Rover Garage the vehicle would undergo a full investigation by the authorities and would be impounded. At no point has land Rover offered to compensate me, apologise I have formerly rejected this vehicle yet Land Rover are insisting the vehicle is OK and I should take it?. Number of serious faults found within the first 36hrs of collecting the car 25, following the inspection’s a further 35 + I welcome your comments please.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7 TD V6 HSE 2006

I’ve wanted one of these for a while. Sports engine combined with off road ability and the space and build of the Range Rover - fantastic! I’ve bought mine second hand but in very good nick and saved myself around £10k into the bargain. The gadgets you get with this thing are amazing and will get you as excited as an eight year old on Christmas morning. Driving this car is like nothing else, totally responsive, awesome power and just knowing you can go anywhere in this makes you feel pretty invincible. Top car!

Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7 TDV6 S 5d Auto

I previously owned a Discovery and was impressed. The Sport is like a stream-lined version of the Discovery. It offers a great view of the road ahead and the rear parking sensors are a nice touch and very useful. My family of five fits comfortably and easily into the Sport and engine is more than powerful enough. If you can’t afford the Porsche Cayenne ( which would be my dream 4x4 ) then this is the next best thing.

Used to have the Range Rover and loved it - went for the Range Rover Sport when it was released and am absolutely thrilled. They have taken the original Range Rover and improved upon it in every way possible! Great on-and-off road.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.4 HSE

A fantastic luxurious car. My favourite 4x4 so far. Looks great, easy to park & fits loads in. Great transport for baby & the dogs. 4.4 model is certainly the one to have. Good on petrol. 2.7 diesel is too sluggish to justify the Sport badge. Most luxuries are included as standard. Would certainly have another one.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE

I have found the Range Rover Sport to be perfect for my family of 5. It easily fits my family in and we all sit high offering us all excellent visibility and comfort.I am 6 foot 5 so the extra headroom is also a huge benefit. On the minus side, this is a thirsty car and rarely manages more than 25 miles to the gallon.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Best looking 4x4 on the road by far but then again I’m probably biased. The V6 diesel engine is smooth and quiet and has proved pretty nippy for such a big car. The interior has a feel of real quality and certainly gets full marks for comfort. I’m really pleased that I chose this car and best of all its BRITISH!!!!!
