We’ve owned a 2014 Sport supercharged since new. And extended warranty to 100,000 miles. And it gets the snot beat out of it. We have always since 20,000 mls taken it off-road and absolutely covered it in mud and it has never said no. Nothing more fun than flying over nasty conditions and throwing giant rooster tails. And logging roads at well above normal speeds are an absolute riot! Only 1 strut malfunction in 91,770 miles, do to a sensor. And 1 fuel pump issue. It will be gone before warranty is up ( we’re not stupid). Has been a wonderful vehicle! Love pulling up to valet at hotels with it caked in mud. The slow infotainment is annoying. But like anything, you learn its shortcomings and deal. Every other aspect outweighs that. And the big dog Meridian system is a whopper! And that cooler in the console is great for road “sodas”. We live on a long dirt road and it spends more time dusty or muddy than clean. We bought it for its capabilities and not to be a mall queen. It’s got trail damage on underside and had a few cladding scratches. I don’t understand buying something and not using its potential. Wonderful camping trip machine. And would certainly own another. My mother in-law still owns a 2006 RR (the red beast) and it too gets the balls run off it. And besides basic maintenance and while under warranty, covered repairs. The biggest thing to happen to it since was failed backup camera. Got a junkyard unit and she’s doing well. And I might add, when we leave it for service once a year, we drive off in a brand new Land Rover. We are sold. It just works and begs to have the go fast pedal to the floor.

Jack "Commanding view of the poor people around you" This is why we watch. The suitcase was gold too!

Mark, the addition of Jack to your videos is such a plus. We do get a feel that you both do great research between the two of you, and the on camera chemistry is spot on. One can definitely tell that Jack went to "SavageGeese" school. The both of you are right up there with the StraightPipes - different style - but same fun to watch you guys. Keep it up!

This is classic goose. To get us back for asking where turbowski went, he starts the video "in the shoppe without turbowski".

No basic function should be in a touchscreen or menu, buttons only.

For work I used to drive a Range Rover Sport in 2012. Like 40k kms in and the gearbox would throw messages of Error telling me to shut down the car and take it to a dealer. I did, they said the fixed it. One month later the Errors came back. It went back to the dealer. Then it did it again and they said they called an "expert" from UK to work out the issue. It never did, at this point we just sold it and got a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid (perfect, never missed a bit). A few years later a friend wanted to get a RR Evoque and asked my opinion. I said stay the fuck away. He didn't listen and bought it. Few months in and like 5k kms he had a gearbox failure in the middle of nowhere in Sardegna, full summer, 40 Celsius outside 😂😂 Teaches him well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ad: Another one for the road: a testimony to its reliability. Stat: 90% are still on the roads, only 10% made it home.

"this car has five engines" yeah I think it'll need them 😂

That new Genesis GV80 looks way more appealing now. Can’t wait for that review

I really appreciate the increase of video uploads. I remember the days of one video every 3 weeks. Good job once again.

I need this so I can take that really steep driveway at my local Starbucks

You went for the Alfred Hitchcock delivery at the end and I really appreciated it.

I picked up my 2019 RRS V8 Autobiography in May of last year and have put just over 30K miles on it so far. Its been an absolute blast to drive on and off-road. I hit the trails every 2 weeks or so and aside from the tires letting me down a few times, it never fails me. I think people who purchase/lease these things, don't care about the issues some other owners might have, or the overall reliability of the brand, cause they want a Range Rover for what it means and what the brand stands for. No other SUV drives like a Range Rover, especially once you get it tuned to squeeze out some extra power from that Supercharged V8. The sound system is unreal for a mid-range choice (not the 3D option) and the infotainment is workable and liveable as long as you don't go playing with Porches, or Audis, you will feel as its as up to date as it needs to be. They have brought out a few software updates for the infotainment since I picked mine up and it keeps getting better and more responsive. Only had one issue that was covered under warranty, which was also my fault (took it swimming) but other then that its been an absolute blast to own.

Took me forever to realize that the entry to the "shoppe" is N64 Goldeneye music. 😂

Camera angle at 14:20 in is great. Have no desire for a Range Rover, but your reviews are too solid to miss.

Love your detailed reviews. Just want to say that I bought a Mazda 3 based on your review and I love the car. Keep up the great work

The timing of this video is crazy! Snowed here in Toronto yesterday omw to Uni I saw the V8 supercharged version of these just absolutely flying. Would just jump from a red light in the snow. The performance is wild.

My buddy has one he says he spends more time in a loner vehicle then his own I guess that’s how poorly their reliability is. Now he regrets when I told him just get a Lexus RX or something way more reliable.

0:35- 2:15 this, the shop segment and the brutel honesty are the reasons why savagegeese is the best automotive channel on youtube, and overall the best automotive jornalism i've witnessed

I do love the Range Rover brand, no other car has enough character to drop the front door on your toes at 50k miles. Very fitting that the video started in the shop.

Love the cinematic quality of your video's.

Final thoughts set is dope. Keep up the sick videos

I like the "new guy." Don't miss the "other chassis guy" one little bit. Hope he stays on. Excellent review as always.

Max Transactions, Chad Merger, Susan Acquisitions... LMAO brilliant!

"You can storm the local Whole Foods"

"they met earlier at service".... I actually bust out laughing... that's a keeper.

I do like reviews that talk to the ownership experience. Good job.

Another great review! Thank you 👍😁

I bought a V6 of this vehicle. Had it for 2 months and couldn't stand the quietness and "no soul" attitude of the thing. I traded it for a Sport with the V8 and dynamic package. It has soul. I don't at all mind or care about the sluggish infotainment system. What I care about is that noise it makes that makes me laugh and giggle every time I mash the gas pedal. Best SUV ever.

There is no excuse of laggy electronics in a premium vehicle. And as attractive as these are in so many ways, the real excitement of owning one is whether you get one that lasts or one that breaks. It's a shame.

I got the 2020 sport two months ago. V8 HSE 525 in silver. I don’t drive crazy and I live in Houston so no sand, no snow, no mountains but lots of rain and pot holes. Ha! I did lease it because people would tell me it was the best choice for this car. Never leased before but it was a good choice because I tend to change cars about every 4 years but I actually love this car. It’s only been 2 months and I am loving it.

My 2011 LR4 HSE ( bought new) is still running strong at 112,000 miles. Some minor electrical hiccups but I’m pretty meticulous about routine maintenance. The SUV is a billy goat in the snow. Definitely a 2nd fun vehicle.

Great review guys. Love the honesty.

I'm usually not too appreciative of the intro music but today's is really good

You 2guys do as well in this discussion as you do in a discussion about a Porsche. I really enjoy your talent in all your work with vehicles

5:00 Think you could make a video about that topic? I have a 2015 Evoque and it has behaved well these last five years, no problems, but I’m wondering if I should keep it or get rid of it preemptively. Surely Evoque parts are more affordable than Sport parts?

just like most luxury vehicles lease is the way to go,thank you for such great review .

That contact list is just gold!

Love your reviews!

Clicking onto your videos always feel like I'm about to watch a movie.

Range Rover: The Official Vehicle of Lake Forest, Illinois

Just discovered your channel and love the content. Subscribed less than a minute into the first video. Great commentary and camera work. What kind of slider are you using?

Used to work at a Jaguar Land Rover dealership service center. When I left there in 2018 the brand new ones still had “Ford Motor Company” stampings on a lot of the mechanical parts. Even though they divoced them in 2008.

Also, Meridian setting was tuned to give everyone in the vehicle as close to the same sound experience as they could do. I will add that watching movies in DTS while camping if you get rained out is great.

Do you guys think you could work in cabin DB readings for highway cruise and city commuting?

That was good acting when you selected engine options. Great expressions without using words.

I recently leased one of these for my wife after considering the q7, xc90, and x5. I’m not thrilled with the “Rover” image or the infotainment either but honestly it’s still the best all around luxury suv even if you don’t take it off road. I’ve had a several Bmws, and the build quality of this feels a step above. No rattles or squeaks, high quality materials, etc. The Q7 is ugly and drives like a pig due to its front heavy platform. The new x5 is very nice but doesn’t have the same ride quality or steering feel (the terrible steering was a deal breaker). In terms of quality it’s actually behind the RRS since it’s a redesign and they are working out the kinks. The xc90 is 4 popper only and is even more touch screen dependent. Doesn’t drive nearly as well. As far as the infotainment, bmw is the only one that does it well imo. Touch screens in cars are a bad idea and not safe/easy to use while driving. With the Range Rover we mostly use carplay / Siri and it’s fine. As far as the slow settings menu, you can create shortcuts to stuff like the audio settings and bypass that slow pop up menu. The boot up time is kind of slow, but by the time we load our kid in it’s up and running so I don’t really notice. The digital cluster is really well done - actually better than Audi’s in my opinion. You can use the steering wheel controls / cluster to scroll through tracks/ stations and avoid the infotainment. It’s such a pleasure to drive, so comfortable and so nice to be in that I totally get the appeal now. On the HSE the locking center diff is optional - it comes standard with a Torsten similar to a q7. Gets better fuel economy with less vibration and costs less. No one is taking these off road. And frankly it’s such a good on road vehicle that it doesn’t matter. People buy slow, outdated 4Runner TRD Pros as “urban assault vehicles” which seems like a true waste of money and a needless compromise in comfort. Keep it under 80k msrp, find a dealer willing to negotiate and you can get a lease that’s comparable to the competitors. The only real downside is that everyone else assumes you are a raging douche and treats you accordingly.

Mark's bitterness.... his absolute intolerance at the mere idea of driving this and even reviewing it.... is a beautiful thing. You've topped yourself again, sir. Kudos to Jack for holding the review together. Nicely done again, gentlemen.

FYI every single one of your videos is watchable and entertaining!

Nice review!

Hello @savagegeese I don't know that you are reading this or not. But can you please give in depth review of RR sport 2023 campare to other rivals. As of now I am planning to buy RR sport 2023 but at the same time I am confused.

Very professional and thorough review! Bravo! Can you guys review AMG GLE 53 SUV (not Coupe, but SUV)?

45 series tires to off road? Would it works?

These might be endless money pits particularly as the miles/age accumulate but they drive beautifully when they are young....ride/handling is outstanding, steering has great road feel for an SUV, the body structure is granite solid, and it’s incredibly quiet. I guess the takeaway is to lease it for 2-3 years and then walk away after you’ve had a glorious driving experience for that time

What have you done with Turbowski? Is he in a Yugo at the bottom of Lake Michigan??

I am going for 2020 new range rover sports HSE after watching your review.

Still rolling with our CPO 2018 supercharged V6 RRS HSE with all the packages and the 3rd row too, love it. Still got the warranty until November 2024 and plan to keep it past that. (Have an incredible interest rate on the loan even though it’s a long one too, lucky to nab it before the insane hikes in rates). Same wheels as the one in this video too. And you can easily feed it regular gas, no need for premium. It never gets floored anyway.

Priceless review. Your description of the prospective and current owners was spot on too. I certainly won’t be buying one, but if I was in the market your review would be the first to turn to.

Had loads of them since the 80's. We always have Rangeys in the family. Look at everything else just for a change and got an SQ7 which is an awesome car. But we've gone an bought a new RRSport too, diesel, 3 litre, not hybrid. Drive 600 miles before stopping to fill up and will drive through anything. It'll drive through anything towing a boat in fact. I can't remember having a breakdown ever but our SVR has had exhaust problems- fixed under warranty but 3 times b4 getting right...sounded like a Formula 1 car and seriously not the attention you want! Sorted now.

Awesome!!! You took my advice and found a buddy to bounce ideas off of!!! Yes! Moving in the right direction!!! I love how critical you guys are of the products you review. But your videos are a bit too cynical. It's really hard to do good reviews. Some dig too deep into picking apart the product and the review gets boring. Other reviewers pretend way too hard at how much they enjoy the product to get more opportunities to review other products. These are some of my favorite car reviewers, not in any particular order: (1) The Straight Pipes. (2) TFL Car and TFL Truck. (3) Raiti's Rides. (4) Throttle House. Have more fun in the video so we can enjoy watching you enjoying yourselves.

Love watching Americans reviewing Range Rovers it reminds me of the way British Top Gear boys review the Corvette !

When they talk about audio systems what does imaging refer too ?

Rear defrost to keep your hands warm in the winter when you're pushing it.

Mark when will you be reviewing the new defender? Can't wait for your take on it

Greetings from Mexico!!! I´ve been following your channel for quite some time and even though I have very different taste than yours I think your reviews are very professional. I´m reaching out because it seems to be the time to replace my 2 row mid size SUV, currently our family has a Lincoln MKX 2011 for traveling purposes and it has been "ok", we have always had Ford cars but I think we´re ready to quit that brand so I´d like your opinion on this subject. The MKX size seems to be the right one for us that means 2 row mid size SUV but we need something more reliable and trouble free, we try to keep are cars for a long time (more than 5 years) so getting the latest tech possible available at the moment would help not feeling that the car is outdated in the long term. We´d like something comfortable, soft ride and with enough power to help passing on small two way roads. Premium category would be nice but not necessary and wouldn´t like to spend more than $80,000.00 USD, maybe something Asian, important to let you know that Lexus is not available in Mexico any recommendations? Please pardon my English it isn´t my native language, thanks.

Is the inline 6 a Jaguar design? I know Mercedes just came out with their inline 6 which is a mild hybrid as well.

I own a 2008 Land Rover Discovery 3 SE V8 with 85k miles on it and it's absolutely a blast to drive. It has it's gremlins but would not trade it for anything. Like every thing else anyone owns you take care of it it will take care of you. Plus I'm a firm believer in fix it before it breaks 🇬🇧👍

JLR could learn much from this short review.

Is the 5.0 liter a Ford engine? Does this have a ZF transmission?

I have the xc90 and love it

Will we see a Jaguar product review any time soon? The I-Pace collected a ton of awards last year. Would love to get your take on it.

I love the Range Rover Sport. There is nothing in this segment that even comes close. It’s just a question of whether you can afford it.

Should’ve reviewed the V8 but I love the fact that you reviewed the Inline 6 while most youtubers are reviewing the SVR

Any plan to review the SVR version??

I have the 825w Meridian system in my 2017 Discovery HSE Lux. It is incredible. I always leave it on the Meridian Trifield setting, and it’s significantly better than the 380w Harman/Kardon system in my LR4

I shopped some Jags as a potential lease a year ago and (IMO) for the price they were asking the interior quality was very lacking unless you went to the highest trim levels. RR on the other hand typically deliver, but you're paying for every last bit of it and then some.

Mr Goose! Is it possible that as you test audio you could also test the levels of orange peel or talk about it in the clear coat I’m curious what auto makers put the extra effort into paint quality ! Thanks and I love you 💪🏻👍

*LAND ROVER: Proudly at or near the bottom of Reliability Charts for decades running* ...er...or not

The delay on that touchscreen is stunning.

Imagine telling anyone 10 years ago that a KIA would be compared to a Range Rover Sport...

I was hoping you buss a rhyme for a second there... 🤣🤣

Turbowski was spotted with Jim Morrison at a cafe in Buenos Aires last week.

How did they pick up 500lbs in the engine?

Yeah.. Would rather wait for the redesign of the 4runner.

there must be an even more than normally subtle undertone of parody in this one. the music, the camera angle at the end? When are you dropping your next album Goose lol?

I became best friend with a neighbor RR owner. Many carpools to work in my Accord while his luxury SUV went through endless repairs.

This review...should win some kind of award. I'd lease this car for a month just to have imagine Geese in the passenger seat judging my (poor) life choices.

I rented this car today. Great ride, great visibility, good size for city driving, surprising maneuverable in tight situations, great audio system. Downsides: inline-6 model is very laggy, the infotainment is also very laggy. It takes almost 3 seconds for the turbos to spool up to full boost. At that point, you go like a bat out of hell. If they fix the turbo lag, I’d consider getting one. Otherwise, it’s a frustrating car. I’m sure the V8 is better.

I’ve driven off-road in a brand new Range Rover Sport, incredible

The phone connection on carplay is claiming 5G in what looks like the middle of nowhere?

Yes I agree it is one of the best Car among all luxury SUV they need to fast the processing speed of touch systems that's only lagging.

Australia has Range Rovers and as you know has some of the harshest environmental conditions and hence that’s why the biggest selling comparable 4WD is the Toyota Landcruiser - in fact you pay almost as much for a second hand landcruiser as a new one

You buy a Range Rover for the way it makes you feel inside when you're sitting inside them. It's the feeling it gives you inside...

A status symbol. Money is no object is what it screams. Get 2 when one is being fixed. For use at your several 100 acre country estate. You get my point.

when does that record come out:)

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts about this pile compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser, looking at Rover's website you can price this thing into and apparently beyond Land Cruiser territory. Unlike the other luxury SUVs the Toyota should compete with this thing in terms of Off Road chops.

when is Land rover going to launch the rrsport next generation???

If you are ready to pay 2k every month for a lease I would recommend to shortlist 2 cars. LR Range Rover (not sport) or the Porsche Cayenne. btw the Meridian sound system is amazing.

The roads in gated communities get so bad that the rich end up getting a land rover
