2010 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

Nowt wrong with the RRSport, I've had both a TDv6 and a TDv8 before the FFRR. But it doesn't have the quality finish of the FFRR, even in 2010 model year guise with Autobiography, it is also a lot smaller inside than your present car. Look for one of the recently discontinued TDv8 ones if you can, there are a few still available even thought the TDv6 on paper has similar performance, it cannot match the TDv8 in the 50-70 area because the 3.0ltr has to drop down a gear, the TDv8 has enough torque not to need to, also the drive of the TDv8 is quieter (it sounds less like it is having to work hard than the V6 does when you want to nail it) 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

2003 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 V8 Java Black

Been thinking of swapping to a sport myself!

Was a bit disappointed with the interior quality even compared to my 03 RR!!

The new MY10 sports interior is miles better tho!

I prefer the handling of the sport but prefer looks of the FF, other half hates the sport. TDV8 HST Sport **Current**

2010 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I would have bought another one had not Lookers Park Royal no 2010MY TDv8 available new and also the price with some options is almost the cost of a Vogue TDv8. I also got an very good deal taking the Vogue. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

England 2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Tonga Green

I'm not sure you should - think you may regret it if you do...

The Range Rover is quite a unique vehicle and understand it is very difficult to replace with another type of car but ive found the Sport to be quite compromised on interior space and build quality for the sake of the styling and it doesn't offer that proper Range Rover feel when driving - it is more rigid and 'sportier' on the road but having said that, those characteristics are near identical to the Disco (excluding TDV8 of course) - I would rather consider the Discovery 3 or 4 if I had to change vehicles but wanted to stay with the same manufacturer.

I have enjoyed driving all the other models Land Rover offer on various occasions (whilst mine has been in for service etc) but prefer mine after I hand the loan cars back.

This is the problem as i have had mine from new. Very hard to replace. Do not want to buy ffrr as the new model is on its way. plus i like the look of the RRSAutobiography and seems to have all the toys. Does not matter to me that there is a little less space inside.
