I checked on line to see if any recalls were issued on vehicle. Saw a few that I had not been notified about so I contacted customer service... I was told by Terrance that none had been issued. Couldnt understand why recall notices where issued on line but was told otherwise !!!!

Coolest SUV

Very high coolness factor. Sweet Sounding Supercharged Engine that pushes this ride like an M3. The stereo/dvd system is the best I've experienced in a vehicle. The memory seat buttons are tough to navigate due to space, but other than that the interior is flawless. Needs to have power lift gate for my wife since she is the primary driver :( . Back seats a little rigid and tight for long runs. Auto wipers and seats/steering column a bit quirky. Dealer picks up and delivers. Can't Beat That. At the dealer twice for scheduled maintenance.

Test drove number of the high end SUVs including the new X5. All to replace my 04 X5 4.4i with all the toys. Selected RRS S/C in Black/Ivory. Very impressed with it - don't miss the X5. Drove it recently in heavy snow - it was better than my X5 was. Its also firm and fast on the open road. Its not cheap on gas - but then there are other brands that cost alot less that have worse gas mileage. Doing about 5mpg less than the X5 was overall. Did'nt find it slow to heat up, nor difficult to aviod the heated elements in windshield. Controls are all easily reached. Great SUV - don't hesitate any longer!

After owning 2 LR3s and 2 X5s I upgraded to the RR Sport. This is a great SUV, and is truly king of the mountain. Don't be deceived by the scary reliability ratings, I've had more trouble out of Lexus and BMW products. The vehicles are sometimes quirky, but the issues are small and infrequent. Plus the dealer is great to work with and always gives you a Rover loaner. Plus, this is the best looking SUV on the market. I have never had so many compliments. I would recommend the RR Sport to anyone that appreciates a refined luxury SUV.

I love my Rover Sport...Have had several BMW X5's in the past and they don't 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!
