Default Should I?

Hi there! I am new here. So, I am in the market to purchase a Land Rover. Myself and my wife have decided to get the Range Rover or Range Rover sport. What do you guys think is the better choice?

I prefer the full sized RR to the sport, but I still like the sport. You'll need to drive both and make up your mind there. Also, what year(s) are you looking at and what kind of miles?

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

i'd personally go for a range rover, over the sport. really just depends on what you want out of the car. best off to test drive both and go from there.
welcome

I would take a Range Rover over the sport. Welcome to the forum. What do you plan to use it for?

I couldn't tell if you are talking about NEW or not... if not, and you decide on the BIG RR, go for something with the Jaguar engine (2006 and newer). Believe it or not, they have less problems than the BMW engine for some reason, or so I've read.

I think the sport is a very nice looking ride. Too bad even used they are still more than what I can afford.

We plan on buying new. We test drove them yesterday, and the Big RR, was much smoother. My wife plans on being normal, but I will 4x4 in it. Think we are heading out tomorrow to purchase. Stay tuned.

read the test reports the RR sport sucks off road, too much power and too short a wheelbase to get it to the ground.
