This car meets all of my high expectations...so far!
1. I love driving this car. I am 6'2" and weight 230lbs. I am uncomfortable in 95%+ of all cars I sit in. Some of you will understand this. 2. The new standard 375hp V-8 is super smooth and faster from 0-60 than all 17 cars I have owned minus a 911 and a Mini Cooper S. The sport mode is really not necessary, but if you want to beat 29 of 30 cars off the line, sport mode is available to you. 3. The nav is noy super hig tech, but it works well and the is easy to use once you unlearn your old nav system. 4. The interior of this SUV is of a very high quality. It is my favorite. Even better than a MB E320 I once thought could not be improved upon. 5. I feel very safe in this car. 6. No regrets.
Made the switch and love it!
After 10 years and 2 Toyota Landcruisers I was looking for something a little smaller, but with all the bells and whistles. The 2010 RRS has it all! Extended leather opt gives it as good a fit and finish as any MB, Caddy, or Lexus. Ride quality is definitely sporty and European, but not at the expense of luxury, and the exhaust note is aggressive but subtle. Surround camera system is a bit hokey until you need to parallel park in a tight spot. After a year and a couple dozen test drives the 2010 RRS beat the competition. I've had it for a month and still tell people I like better the more I drive it.

I love this vehicle!
Even though I owned an LR3 with no reliability probs I was a touch nervous having read other reviews about the RR Sport. Sitting in the tow truck on my way back to the dealer after one week I was not too happy! Turned out a faulty cell in battery was why my car was dead. Changed it and since then a dream come true. I got black on black with the contrast stitching (a must) looks beautiful. Drives like a dream, such a comfortable seating position and great power I never want to get out of it. If you are thinking of this vehicle just get it, you deserve it. I have had only fun driving since the battery debacle of first week and highly recommend this car. Looks great inside and out,I love it!
Beautiful to drive, frustrating to own.
Ive had the 2010 RRS HSE with LUX package for two weeks now. I love how the car handles; spent the first few nights taking the coast road home [Stop reading here if you only want favorable words]. The electronic/software issues on the other hand, are now making me think this is the Microsoft Vista of automobiles; nothing quite operates the same two times in row. Manufacture date is 09/09. This is my first LR vehicle, having spent the last 10 years as a Lexus owner with nary a cold, so maybe my expectations are too high. I'd like to loan LR the top notch Test & QA team from my company for a few months. Taking the car into the dealer for 7 issues (all but one are electronic/software related).
Surprisingly Happy!!
I waited a year before this review b/c I too wanted to give a fair evaluation. My RRS HSE is white with a coffee or chocolate interior. I love this truck. First, if you were doubtful and have had a few probs, then why did you buy it? EVERY new vehicle with all the electronics will have degrees of problems. I had a few issues like some on here, but new it was the computer b/c it would be fine after it had been restarted (the truck), then LR had a computer upgrade and poof! No more problems at all. 12000 plus miles and riding great!! It's also the first time my husband asks to take my truck!! Service has been wonderful and glad I purchased my RRS.
Best SUV I've owned
Bought this as the last year of the old body style which I liked better. Cargo space and luxury options fit my lifestyle of weekend diving to and from NYC. Excellent ride quality and power. I would suggest the luxury package if searching for a used one- nicer interior and stereo. My gripes with the car are the rear camera which is absurdly small and clunky navigation system. Camera really doesn't show adequately where your car is. Service is pricey but in line with other luxury brands.

My Favorite Mistake
First off Let me say that when my RRSS (Range Rover Sport Supercharged) is working it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. it is keeping it working at 100% that is the issue. There are the annoying things like the rain sensing wipers not sensing rain, to the door locks working when they want to, always in my driveway, never at the airport parking lot; I say "British Car" and shrug these off. There are more serious issues like the satellite radio no longer working (cost to fix $700).a suspension airbag leaking causing a compressor failure (cost to fix $1600) to the latest issues which are the supercharger snout bearing failing and the dreaded PCV issue (cost to fix over $2600) Come on JLR, why design an engine where the PCV valve is built into the cam cover and takes about 13 hours to remove and replace due to the supercharger needing to come out? Why didn't you design a replaceable easy to access PCV valve like everybody else? As I said, when she is running well I can carve up the road keeping up with the Corvettes, carry a ton of stuff and go anywhere, all whilst being wrapped in the finest of English interiors. It is just keeping her running at 100% that is an issue. If you want a reliable but boring vehicle that does what this one does but without the bravado of 510 horsepower, get the Lexus LX. If you want to have fun but pull out your hair, get the RRSS. I have been pulling out my hair for over 75000 miles!

Love the car - Hate the constant service needs
I've put 37,000 km on my 2010 Range Rover Sport mostly driving 6 hours to my cottage in Quebec. Fantastic driving experience as it is heavy and a very comfortable ride - and attractive. The Harman Kardon sound system is the best I've heard in a vehicle. It is very difficult to criticize the driving experience. The drawback is the numerous service aggravations which have motivated me to sell it prematurely. For a vehicle of this quality with 50,000 km, it has been in the shop far too many times.
Problems from the start
Wheel alignment, computer problem i went back to service three times in a month. The gas tank keeps showing no gas when there is full tank. The service is horrible at the dealership. Looking to pull out of the contract
A truly awesome ride
Bought a 2011 in 2019. So 8 years old. Had weak paint, and windshield washer fluid always shows low. A $500 fix, as front bumper has to be removed. That's Range Rover, I guess. But... This thing has 510 hp!! I smile every time I say that. Feels as fast as my Corvette. Brown leather is just gorgeous, and equally comfortable. Promptly drove it from Florida to drive Route 66. No problems, just a great ride for 6K miles. Is the luxury/comfort/off-road-prowess all that it's made out to be? Yeah, they're really cool. And did I say it has 510 hp!

Supercharger in Samana
I live in Samana, Dominican Republic. A region with lots of mountains and dirt roads. I come from Toyota diesel Prado, then Volkswagen Touareg diesel, then BMW x6 diesel and after that the LR SS. Changed the BMW into a LR because the X6 is to low for the sandy roads here in Samana. Bought LR new in sept 2010, model 2011. Changed tires from 40-45 for the roads here as well. Very comfortable car in al ways. Always and very suffucient power. Offroad nothing. Totally shit. And maintenance you can not imagen. At this moment second time in garage for changing the suspension system and connections. And the funny part, now out of the guarantee, after 51.000 km.
Best vehicle EVER!
I have owned several luxury vehicles over the years and this SUV is my all time favorite! This is the first Range Rover we purchased and I cannot find any other SUV on the market that I would rather own. This car has been pristine and we have had absolutely no issues other than minor items that are easily repairable. I love the fact you only have to take it to the dealer once a year for service and that is it! It is a dream to drive and is versatile enough for a fancy date night, trip to the beach, or lugging kids around town. I downsized from a larger SUV and wondered if I would miss the extra room but what I ended up NOT missing was having to park a huge SUV in tiny spaces! I would highly recommend this vehicle. There is no other like it on the market- trust me I have looked at them all!

The Best SUV and Sport Car
I traded in my Porsche Carrera S for this vehicle. I am delighted with the performance, handling and overall the elegant looks of this SUV. The finish quality is superb and the purchase experience was the best. I will keep this car for a long time as this fits and exceeds all my needs. I am extremely happy with my purchase decision and find myself "staring" at the vehicle often.
Horrible company who does not value their customers!
If you decide to buy a land rover, be prepared for all the extra expenses you will incur as they overcharge you EXTREMELY on every service or anything done to the car. Also be prepared to get one of the many FAULTY CARS land rover sells people and have to bring it back in for repairs constantly (in which case you will probably wind up driving around in a loaner car (if they even give you one at all) for a decent amount of the time you own/lease the vehicle, worth much less then the car you are paying for. Oh and most of all, be prepared to NOT BE a "valued customer". I clearly am not considering they still have me in a vehicle that constantly breaks down and won't do anything about it.
not tired of it yet
I have owned by RRS for 2 years now, and I still love driving this car. I love the driving position, acceleration and looks of the car. It is one of those cars that stands out from the rest. Over all the experience has been positive. The car has been reliable, except for the earlier problems with the camera system, which I really think you only need the rear camera. The brakes do wear early, got mine replaced at 21,000 miles.
So far, so good !
I have never owned a Range Rover or SUV, but I traded in my 2006 BMW 330I for a new 2011 Range Rover Sport. So far, so good. I did a lot of research online and I know Range Rover's have had some issues in the past, but I decided to give it a try. I am pleasantly surprised so far, however, I have only owned it for one month. I like the ride and overall feeling, plus the 375 hp gives it some pep when you hit the gas, which has been reassuring. I like the overall look and my kids seem to enjoy climbing in and out of it. I will update my comments after a few more months of ownership.
A true SUV, with a Punch!
I have only owned the car for a month with no problems to report. It is a 2011 RRS w/ Luxury Package, Fuji White w/ Almond interior. A different driving experience coming from a GL450, X-5 and a QX56. This is bar none the most fun to drive SUV with a build quality that can not be matched. With the 5 liter engine @ 375 hp definitely has enough power when you need it, the exhaust note sounds great when just at cruising speeds. The interior & center stack is really situated nicely and has a regal look and feel as well. If you are in the market for a RRS go get one and don't waste time, hard to find, not that available.
best and worst of rr sport
ride is ok,def some electronic issues,250 miles cd never worked..reprogrammed,upgraded perforated leather is not up to the standard.showing some scratch marks onseats,exetrior paint is average, twice driver info shows gas tank empty,while in fact gas tank is full,numerous times radio doesnt sound even the power is on,ride is smooth, sitting position is excellent,for a 80k suv no power rear trunk opener? numerous times got my hand twisted while closing the rear hatch,i also own a 2010 bmw X6M,cost around 90k,but 10k make such a big difference or something tells me that germans are better auto makers than british,land rover needs to fix lotsa quality issues here,other than its fairly a cute suv..
What the RRS should always have been...
I always liked the idea of the Range Rover Sport but to me the interior was always too close to the LR3/Discovery and no where near the Range Rover. The 2010 model has addressed this biggest flaw and at the same time brought the standard model up to a performance level which is worthy of the word "sport". I took delivery on Friday and drove 500 miles over the weekend on a combination of highways and back roads. The car feels very solid on the highway with great control on the more winding roads and the seats are superb. Its a big step up in comfort from my old ML550 but performance isn't close to the ML but certainly on the right side of adequate.
It's a Beast
I custom ordered my 2010 Range Rover Sport SuperCharged so it took a couple of months to arrive.I finally picked it up last week 5/8.It is Alaska White with Ebony Interior and Ivory contrast sticthing.Just gorgeous!The 510HP engine on the SC is so responsive I named it "Charlie the Beast". BUT The first day I drove it my ipod started to play music out of the left speakers only and I got really concerned coz I've heard alot about reliability issues with Land Rover. It worked ok 3 days later so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The ride is so smooth 90mph feels like 50mph.My one complaint so far is the lack of compartment space.Do away with the cooler! Overall it is an Amazing ride!
A waste of your money!!!
I bought my 2011 RRS HSE by the mid December last year and I only have 5K+ miles as I'm writing this review but I already experienced a lot of trouble with it! First, the rubber seal that's on top of the wind shield came off and flapped against the wind when I was driving and it scratched the roof. for a 60K car this is the least kind of problem one would expect! Maybe on the 2K mile odometer reading the car flashed a parking brake fault when I was driving it on the freeway that prompted me to find the nearest spot to stop. The Encino dealer said that they will just update the electronic programming of the vehicle, and it happened again twice as of today after several months! dont buy this!!
Great experience
Excellent vehicle! This is the second Sport SC that I’ve owned.

Fun to Drive when everything works
Purchased new 2010 Silver RRS HSE in Nov 2009. Upgraded leather package / 20" wheels / HD - SAT radio. Vehicle rides very nice, quiet and smooth with plenty of power. I have had a few electronic (SW) issues however. The front NAV screen / display area went black (came back on next day). Brought to dealer for inspection..but of course was working then. This past week the radio audio went out (has not happened twice) came back on the next day and today a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Failure alarm came on. Back to the dealer tomorrow. They indicated they need to reprogram the car (and both keys). I also had a "Bonnet Open" alarm. Fixed by snapping connector back. All this in 6 months.
Great SUV.
This is the first SUV I have owned in years. I was impressed from the time I test drove the vehicle. Other than a minor electrical issue the vehicle has been outstanding. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
New From the Inside OUt
I remember test driving the first Range Rover Sport, and leaving confused as to how they could name such a slow vehicle "sport." Finally the 2010 version earns the name. The 5 Liter engine provides plenty of punch which actually seems faster then the 7.2 0-60 listing. Even better, the interior finally looks and acts like a luxury vehicle. Big touch screen, leather & wood, keyless entry and the Ipod, USB docks. I just wish there was a little more differentiation between this one and it's predecessor. Only a trained and peering eye picks up on the subtle styling cues. If you're on the fence about this car, have the salesperson take you on the off-road track. You'll be sold. Cheers
Fabulous Four-Wheel Drive SUV
I found this Black Range Rover in excellent condition just traded-in at Doral Lincoln in Miami The interior ivory leather Windsor edition Absolutely the finest leather I’ve ever seen in any car. Drives Awesome no problems and everyone gives me compliments on the vehicle

Puzzled?
2 weeks of having the car, the driver seat no longer moves forward- backwards. My wife couldn't drive it since the seat was stuck farther back that her foot is unable to reach the pedals. Funny! Took it to the dealer and was told they had to order a new motor. Came the new motor after couple of weeks and had it installed. The driver seat still didn't work. LR service then told me that it must be the programming. They were puzzled on how to resolve the issue and kept my car for 2 weeks. Talk about reliability! Now I'm second guessing if this car was truly worth it.
I love the RRS supercharged
I just picked mine up in July, I love the interior but agree the refrigerator needs to go. The supercharged engine is an awesome experience to drive. I haven't experienced anything falty with the car yet, but I do have a defect in the wood grain that runs along the left of the center console. Its very noticeable and the dealer agreed to replace that part. My range is metallic black with black upgraded leather package seats and ebony stitching (piano black wood). I sueded my head liner with high quality suede. I would recommend to anyone wih this car to suede the headliner, it makes all the difference in regards to the interior ambiance. Style 7 20'' wheels, all in all great ride.
No Trust
This SUV has left my wife locked out three times. I have driven with out turn signals and the mirrors turned in parking position. No air conditioning, no Navigation no radio and has spent 20 plus days in the shop in less then 5000 miles. The windows don't always close and it may not find the "smart key for 30 minutes which means it wont start until it does but the alarm is sounding for the duration. We know any drive is our last but if we don't get killed by the police because they think we are stealing it, some bad people will kill us while we wait for the "smart key" the alerts them easy prey. My favorite was a scary guy asking my wife if she needs help in a Fort Lauderdale garage at night.
Best Range Rover Sport Ever!
A superb vehicle. Fantastic response and handling
Impressive
RRS 3.0 TDV 3.0 245 bhp HSE Luxury. Mileage 60000 - 95000 miles. Excellent comfort and performance. A bit high maintenance. Needed an new overhauled engine at 90000 miles (147000 km). Cost around 200 USD pr month for 10 years. Other maintenance in addition. If you buy remember that a large car is not free to maintain ,😃 New long block engine woeks well. The car is at present fault free apart for the need of a radio reset at the dealers.

Nice All Around
I have always wanted a RRS mainly because of its good looks. I decided against buying the 09 model because I considered it not technologically up to date. My 2005 Infiniti FX 35 came with a back up camera, which was still missing in the RRS as at last year. They sure did make up for all the short comings this time around. I really don't have a lot of problems with the fact that the exterior is not significantly differentiated from the old model. I've always considered the exterior look beautiful.I get to take it on a drive to Tennessee this weekend for Thanksgiving and I'm sure it is going to be a fun ride based on what I've experienced cruising around town so far. The drive is really smooth
Happy So Far
I purchased a new 2010 Black RRS HSE last Nov. 201. It has the ivory leather on ebony carpet, the luxury package, leather package and 20" silver wheels. So far I am very happy. It is the first vehicle I have bought where I feel there are no compromises. On the Interstate, 80 mph feels like 50! The sound system is by far the best I have ever experienced. The heated steering wheel is sweet. Only two nit pics - wish I had about 2" more leg room and there is no remote start. I am getting about 18 mpg on the highway traveling at 69 mph and about 15 around town(semi-rural area). Could have saved $8K for a '09 leftover but felt the '10 was so much improved that it was worth the extra $.
Wonderful 2010 RRS has crown waiting
I've owned my 2010 RRS HSE Lux for about a week now. I'm impressed. It's Santorini Black with the Black extended leather package, 20" alloys, HD/Sat. I've owned many luxury SUVs but this one is special. I visited my dealer with the intent of picking up a 2009 full sized RR SC but after seeing the improvements to the Sport, especially the 2010 interior and the new engines, I was sold. Even talked myself out of the SC unit since the 375HP standard Jaguar based engine is fabulous. What an amazing vehicle, 500 miles to date and since reliability is always a question for these vehicles I should report that mine is perfect so far. Please be as reliable as my BMW/Mercedes and you will be king.
A great SuV with classic style
We have only had our RRS for 2 months, but we love it. A true luxury car
Amazing, Nothing like the RRS 2010
You feel like you are in a cockpit, as you drive in complete luxury. The engine has a great sound and lots of pick up. It has the best of both worlds: sportiness and comfort.
I love mine!
Got mine in Nov 2009. Waited this long to write a review because I truly want to experience the car. It is a joy to own and drive. It turns heads everywhere I go. I have not seen a lot of it on the road yet. After taking a 500 mile trip, I did not experience any body aches or soreness. I just wanted to keep driving for the sheer joy of driving this automobile. I have not experienced any of these difficulties that some of the reviewers have described. Mine is a stornoway gray with almond interior and luxury package. The sound system is great. Actually better than the Bose I have had in my other luxury SUV. I wish they would use more wood grain on the interior and get rid of the refrigerator.
Luxury at its best
I purchased the RRS for my growing family. The drive quality is awesome. We looked at the Cayenne, X5, & Q7 and though all of these had great attributes the RRS took the cake. We wanted something that was going to give us the luxury of the Cayenne with the build and reliability of the X5 & Q7. The RRS has everything that you could ask for we opted for the HSE LUX which provided just what we needed not going into the Supercharged. That was too much for the wife and with owning an M3 we didnt need that for our family. If youre looking for luxury, reliability, and presence on the road this is your vehicle; plus it makes you feel very safe.
Knee Problems but overall great car
Leased my RRS 2 weeks ago, and have found that the combination of the driving position/ accelerator pedal position and accelerator pedal stiffness is causing a lot of knee pressure and discomfort. Feel like I am developing knee tendinitis. This is the only drawback about the car (but a major drawback) as I enjoy the look and ride of the vehicle a lot.
great looking range rover sport
used but only 60000 miles on it --great shape --love it --Grieco Chevrolet in Fort Lauderdale dealership-- top of the line dealership --thanks
Great SUV
Wow own a 2008 RRS and this is so much more of a truck...Can;t say enough good things run don't walk to buy one.
Can’t get any better than this!
I have owned a 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE for 2 years and I have to say that I am personally very happy to drive this vehicle on a daily basis! Let’s start off with the engine. Very powerful and strong V8! The car is very fast and the acceleration is off the roof! This engine is pretty reliable in my opinion, it has not given me any major problems whatsoever. The exterior is pretty stylish and classic, and the interior is super comfortable seats and very luxurious car overall. Heated seats, off road abilities when necessary. Also the speakers are incredible, and for a 2011 car, it has a respectable amount of great features! Trunk has decent amount of space. Now, the only down sides about this car, is gas. Yes, seriously this is a powerful V8 engine, so if you do not mind paying just a little extra for gas, then this car is perfect for you! Absolutely no complaints, just amazing experience!
