  Road Runner - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By Racyldy - August 11 - 6:33 am

  This vehicle is like driving on a cloud. Its smooth, comfortable, wraps around the driver and seems to float. It corners well, shifts very smoothly and will turn around on a dime. The gas economy is not wonderful but a fair trade for the safe and secure feeling it provides. Ive had it on an off-road adventure and it really taught me what the vehicle would do. I would take it anywhere...in comfort!

  Great ride - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By skelly8 - July 9 - 9:45 pm

  Bought used with 33k miles. Subaru driver needed a Schedule 179 vehicle for tax purposes. Averages 19 mpg on my commute, 21.5 on a run to Palm Springs down Hwy 5. Love the ride, sound system, navigation, turning radius. Does everything without drama. Freeway on ramp merge speed? No problem, put in sport mode and it winds to 7000 rpm like NOW and you are flying. Want to climb an impossibly steep trail? No problem, put it in low range and up you go. Brakes feel like you threw out an anchor. Big control knobs and buttons fit my stubby fingers and just feel right. I love this rig.

  Look Forward to Driving - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By ss68 - June 8 - 6:30 pm

  This is our 1st luxury SUV. We sat in a number of them at the Chicago Auto show and had made up our minds before driving it. The dealer let us use one for the weekend and it sealed the deal. Also had a auto show discount going on. So far we have put on about 2000 miles and have not had any issues. The stereo is amazing.

  Great but not yet... - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By bizking - March 4 - 7:50 pm

  This is a GREAT SUV Ive ever owned. I have 13K now and got lots of service because of the "check engine light". But the problem is the they cannot find the reason for that problem. Hope next generation has much better reliability. But I think this is really great SUV especially in mountains.

  By alberto martinez - December 6 - 11:33 pm

  Its been a fun experience driving the car. You will also get a lot of compliments -it looks great. The brakes are very good and it handles really well on curves for an SUV.

  Best SUV out there - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By TYLER - November 9 - 5:00 pm

  This is the best suv out there for the money. Thus far has been a fantastic vehicle and as far as the reliability goes it is just like any other vehicle out there. That is why they come with a 4 year 50,000 warranty. There are no concerns about reliability for those of you who dont know land rover have the best four wheel drive system available. Why do you think BMW bought Land Rover years ago. For the four wheel drive system that they think is in the X-5. Yeah right, the X5 couldnt hang with this vehicle at all.

  Said Goodbye - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By Peter - September 30 - 6:23 pm

  Turned the vehicle in a couple weeks ago 5 months before the end of the lease. Notwithstanding the fact that I was at the end of my mileage the continual reliability problems were just too much to take. Since purchase this vehicle would be difficult to start once in a while and it became more frequent over the past few months. After the suspension problems a few months back the ride was never as compliant as it was when I purchased. Became very harsh and vechile began to rattle a bit at times. I am very saddened by this turn of events. I was thrilled for the first year but it ended in a most unappealing way. I wish Land Rover luck under their new ownership.

  Coolest luxury SUV around - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By naes91 - September 2 - 7:33 am

  When first looking at thr RRS I was just in utter amazement. They are a sleek and sexy machine. I have had mine since October 2008 and have no complaints what so ever. It drives like a dream, yes a little heavy but I feel it is needed. Its as nimble as my wifes Volvo S40 t5. In the snow it has proven better than my F-150 or past Jeep Cherokee. Sitting in the drivers seat is like sitting in a fighter jet. Comfortable and everything is within reach and convenient.

  Same Old Range Rover - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By David - August 7 - 10:33 am

  Best Looking SUV in its class. Too bad Land Rover has not fixed its mecanical issues. Wait till you get to 25000 mile and the dealer tells you that you need new brakes all around. Dealer wont help nor will Land Rover. They claim this is normal wear and tear. Right!

  As long as its not raining - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  By Adam - June 13 - 8:13 pm

  I love my Rover Sport...Have had several BMW X5s in the past and they dont even come close. The exterior is great, interior, everything is within reach. I was quite concerned about reliability when I purchased but with almost 8000 miles, I have only had 2 problems. Sunroof leaks and dealer cannot seem to fix, have replaced seal and sunroof twice but still leaks in the rain and car wash (this seems to be very common with Rover from what I have read on line). Rear door seals falling off. Only draw back is everything has to be ordered by the dealer and takes a couple of weeks to arrive. Fuel mileage is not bad at all, I am averaging 18/19 city/hwy mix. Would definitely buy again!
