This Year's Model Updates:

Land Rover takes a jab at performance SUVs from BMW and Porsche with its all-new Range Rover Sport.

Pros:
  • Solid road manners, off-road ability worthy of the Land Rover name, usable interior space, powerful V8 engines.
Cons:
  • Standard model still not very sporty, less interior room than the standard Range Rover.

  • Computer Issues - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Bought the car 2 weeks ago, has been in the shop the last week because the stereo and navigation system keep going on and off. The service people cant figure out the problem and seem like they are clueless all around. Have always owned BMWs and regret switching. I would wait a year before I bought this vehicle, let them work the kinks out. Car is new so they are trying to fix problems on the fly.

  • I still love it after 33K mi. - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    After 33K mi, I have had zero problems. My only visits to the dealership are for the free maintenance included with the purchase.

  • Cool Ride - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Great ride on the road and get lots of complements. Very comfortable and I love the looks. Not easy to lay down the second seat due to front seat leaning back to far. If you dont need lots of room in the rear, its a great vehicle. Compared to the BMW, much more practicle and will keep its value.

  • Transmission Erratic - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Truck drags between gears when rpm is at 2000 and speed of 70 mph or greater. Problem is repeatable. When i took to the shop they gave me a loaner and it does the same thing. I like the car but the tranny needs work. Good service and the car looks great.

  • Bonatti Grey RRS SUPERCHARGED - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Great vehicle, fun to drive, strong performance, great handling and turns heads everywhere I go. I have only had one consistent problem and that is a "Faulty suspension" indicator that keeps coming on and locking the vehicle in standard height. I have to then restart the car in order to get it to go away. Its finicky and can happen several times in a day. Other than that, one of the best vehicles I ever bought.

  • Drives Great, Technology Lacking - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    The RRS drives great but, having owned 4 previous Land Rovers, I expected that. This one is, by far, the quickest though. And, it looks great too. Now if the engineers can get the technology up to par with the competition, we would be all set. Case in point: the $2500 rear seat entertainment does NOT come with, nor can it be equipped with, wireless headphones. I usually put all after market entertainment systems in the Rovers but was told NOT to with this one due to integration with the cars computer. So, cmon guys, lets get a better audio screen and some wireless headphones. I know it can be done...I have done in my last 3 Rovers!!

    Traded in a Volvo XC90 for this Sport and that was a great decision. Drives wonderfully and is a SOLID vehicle. Love the nav sys., sat. and voice command. British accent is so cool!

  • vibration. - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

    I love to keep it, But the dealer couldnt fix steering vibration for the fifth time, car factory adjustments is good for only 4 to 5 thousand miles, Ill try to call land rover again to get it fix. or call my lawyer.

  • Amazing SUV - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    I bought the Rover from a private party, the guy only had 18K in two years. I bought it for 40K it was in perfect condition. I bought someones supercharged pipes for and put also purchased chrome caps for the side mirrors and most importantly 22" wheels. The car gets a lot of attention! Everyone digs this car because it is very clean but not over the top. We just took it up from Orange County up to Carmel, Northern Cali up PCH and this car drove like a champ! No power lag for a two ton and I avg 18 mpg, not great but hey, if you dont have money you shouldnt be buying this car period. I havent had any problems from random lights a couple of times put I have been very happy with this car.

  • Emphasize Sport in SUV - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    This is a great SUV thats fun to drive. This heavy vehicle is a bit thirsty for fuel, about 16.5 avg. It is a very quality built machine that moves well in sport mode, and even better in the well positioned manual mode. Ive driven several vehicles in manual mode and this vehicle is the easiest and ergo thoughtful of all of them, less vehicles with paddle shifters. The interior is classy and with the real wood trim, looks great. With the weight of this vehicle, be prepared to replace brakes every 30k or so, depending on driving habits. The brakes will run about $1,400 at the dealership. Only issue is the rear tailgate struts went out, otherwise, great Sport UV. JG
