The Range Rover Sport is more modern and easier to manoeuvre than the Range Rover proper - and is nearly as good off-road. It has a wonderfully designed, beautifully finished interior, loads of space and an enormous boot. For keen drivers, there's the brutally fast and fuel guzzling 5.0-litre Supercharged version. If money really is no object, go for that one. For the rest of us, the 3.0-litre diesel is still brilliant, and at least 50 per cent more economical.

Hi Mat here. I understand your comments about the off-roading shots being a bit tame. Unfortunately, where we film that's all we have access to off-roading wise. I have tried the RR Sport on much more serious terrain before so can comment on its ability. And while we could film at a more extreme location that would take a lot more time and money which would mean we wouldn't be able to film as many videos for as we currently do. We think you'd prefer more vids than a few 'proper' off-road shots.

The 2012 model year Range Rover Sport was released around the time of the '11 / '61 plate change. Either that, or it is on a private plate. The 8 speed gear box with the rotary selector and the new tailgate system were introduced for the 2012 model year.

It is a 2012 model, probably released just before the plate change. The standard electric tailgate and the 8-speed gear box evident from the rotary shifter give it away as a 2012 model.

Nothing compares to driving a RR, they are brilliant, doesn't matter how newer or faster a car is because you just feel like your in a tank. BUT you better have a few grand put away if you own one of these because when things do go wrong, believe me they are not cheap. If a turbo needs to be replaced your pretty much f***ed.

Still can't decide - Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE, Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE or Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8. Logic says the Disco or the Sport, solely because they make more financial strength but the heart says go all out and get the Vogue SE.

Kassius KLAY quite a simple answer, they are made in the UK hence so many about. For those who can afford them a great car if you trade in just before the warranty expires but not a great used buy. The depreciation of Rangerovers is hudge and sums up the long term reliability.

Hey, I'm a late reply but whatever Diesels are horrible when it comes to reliability Your Best shot is to purchase a 4.2L supercharged which is crazy reliable and a lot of fun I own one and I can confirm that I didn't have major issues with it with 120k miles on the clock and still going strong If you're not looking to put a massive dent in your wallet, make it run on LPG There are a few places in the UK where they convert it reliably, But I'm 7k kilometers away... so $400 is spent on gas every month
