Great Leap Forward...
I collected the car in a blizzard 2 weeks ago. Since then, I've only done a couple of hundred miles including a 100 mile round trip yesterday. Car is light years ahead of the previous model. I was a little skeptical of buying the V6 due to the power drop over the normally aspirated V8 of the previous RRS, but the car feels much stronger than the figures portray and I don't regret not getting the V8. Design and finish are way ahead of last gen, as is the ride quality on standard 20" wheels. Capability in the snow and ice has been excellent as well. Interior space, particularly in the back, is way up on the previous model.
Unbeatable at almost any price
The Range Rover Sport is not cheap; with the V8 engine and top-end Meridian audio, mine was all but $100k on the road. But you get what you pay for - stunning performance, great handling, the best driving position of any car I've owned, and a luxurious ride that can go anywhere ... and I'm getting 18 mpg in stop-start motoring. After 3 years this all remains true and there have been zero faults with the vehicle. After 6 years, I am just as satisfied as when it was new. No unexpected maintenance and still the best vehicle I've ever owned. Now 7 years on, first unscheduled repair was headlamps - expensive at £400 each, but that's all in 7 years and the car still looks and runs like new. Sold the car on leaving the country - best vehicle I have ever owned. PostScript: I bought the 2016 model of the same vehicle on moving to the UK - still as great as ever

Briefly
Quite and amazing vehicle. Literally 5/5 in all categories with the exception of the infotainment system. This is about 5 years behind leading competitors like Audi. Fortunately I predominantly use my iPhone for music/GPS so it's not a huge problem for me. The 510 hp is absolutely insane. I highly recommend this to anyone who can afford this.
Beats my Cayenne
I was reluctant as others to go with RR after the years of horror stories. I was in love with my Porsche Cayenne until electrical problems began after a water leak. When finally they threw their hands in the air and couldn't get to the bottom of all the shorts that the leak caused we were reluctant to go into another Cayenne. I set out researching the RR Sport as the looks has always had me captivated since 2002 or so. This body style is sleek as heck and rivals any X5 I come across. I have no regrets on our decision to go with the RR. We went with the V6 and don't miss the V8 we had in the Cayenne at all especially with the nice increase in MPG comparably. This car in fit and finish surpasses any M class I have owned and we still have our daughter in one, as well as our Porsche! Total class and sporty looks at the same time. We have not had ANY issues with the car other than a simple thing like the plastic cover of the keys coming loose, THAT IS IT! Way to go Land Rover on your redesign of the RR sport............you hit the ball out of the park!

Initial impressions
Just picked up a used RR Sport 2014 Autobiography dark gray with red pimento interior. Pretty easy to drive, plenty of power to spare, nice exhaust note. The infotainment unit is a bit laggy. Nice soft touch materials inside. Seems like it will be thirsty at the fuel pump, but then again this may be the last of the big V8s before everything becomes electrified. Got an extended warranty plan just in case, but hope to have fun with this one.
Best car I’ve owned
Have 110k miles on an HSE. Has been nearly flawless except for routine maintenance. Need to resign the coolant crossover pipe. Seems to be a real issue. Plan to go $250k or further.

It's a LOVE hate relationship
I loved my Rangys I've owned 2 now and I'm on the fence about buying my 3rd!! Let's just say this ....RR are the coolest looking whips and so amazing in the snow!! I love the horsepower and big gas tank , premium sound system and that the back seats fold flat so your cargo space is huge and flat no seat bumps!! I will say don't own one unless you have warranty or extended warranty for sure!! I had to have a lot done to my second one well over $20,000 ( car shield paid for it np best extended warranty for rangys ) worth of work including new engine and I was out of a car for a year due to waiting on parts ...also the up keep and maintenance is more pricey then most cars and needs to be done more frequently them most cars ....so my advice is yes buy a rangy if you don't mind spending some dough on your vehicle .... I myself don't mind but if you can't or don't want to spend 1000 at least each time you take your car in and don't mind waiting for parts for longer then normal , don't want to pay for top insurance and 200 a month for extended warranty then either buy a new rangy under factory warranty or don't buy one ..... I knew what I was getting into and I'm ok with it I still love rangy more then anything but she isn't for the faintest of hearts and she will cost you a pretty penny but if you pick the right one she's worth every penny ;) love you rangy wish you where more reliable and long lasting / value holding .... talk to Toyota get some tips from them maybe idk .. love German cars for their luxury, power , look, and comfort but wish they had Toyotas reliability and value holding lower maintenance qualities!!

RRS Supercharged Dynamic is a lot of hype
I like cars. I've owned some nice ones. I'm particularly fond of Rover since my grandfather owned the British Leland franchise in Victoria, Australia. But I've completely divorced myself of Land Rover after two very unfortunate experiences with an LR4 and a Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged Dynamic. Here's my summary of main issues with the RRS; I Won't even start with my LR4 needing a new fuel injection system and transmission at 54K miles: The RRS is FAST!!! Like scary fast. And I don't mean that in a good way because the car is scary to drive fast. Edmunds track tested my vehicle at 4.2 seconds 0-60. But what good is a car that can't break quickly, feels like it's ripping itself apart, and can't handle around mild corners while accelerating or going fast. When accelerating in mine, it felt amazing, but I never felt confident that I could turn, swerve or break quickly if needed. So anxiety ensued with most of my opportunities to accelerate during daily driving. Second, the car's build quality is horrible for the price point. My vehicle rattled at the glove box, at the center console, in the driver and passenger seats, at the A pillar of the driver door, in the ceiling somewhere, and worst of all it rattled badly if I turned up the premium stereo. If you like luxury, you'll love how the RRS looks. But take it for a 10 minute drive and you'll be bothered that your nephews Toyota Carolla is quieter and doesn't rattle. Third issues was the breaks squeaked the day I bought the car and through a set of break pads (my wife's LR4 did the same through 3 sets of pads). Near $100K for a vehicle that sounds embarrassing pulling up at a stoplight. Not cool with me. Fourth and maybe most important, the myriad of issues I had with the car were well overshadowed by the HORRIBLE service experience at Land Rover Seattle. I could call about issues and they'd sometimes never follow up. I would complain about issues at multiple meetings and be promised follow up only to have nobody contact me. To be fair, the staff was pleasant. But when I purchase a $70K and a $95K+ vehicle from the same dealership I expect exceptional loyalty and customer service in return and that most certainly did not happen. In the end, I sold both my Rovers in the same month and took a massive loss on the RRS. Then I bought a Model S Tesla. And that car... well let's just say every issue I've pointed out is no longer and issue and I'll never own another vehicle but a Tesla.

After the initial love affair is over she'll bleed you to death
The Range Rover sport is in my view an over priced V6 powered ego trip. The poorly designed interior layout coupled with the least intuitive gps and entertainment system out there should give anyone pause. And why does the gps system point upward into to the sun? The small screen is hard enough to deal with, let alone the excessive sun light! Additionally you'll find that although Land Rover claims there SUV as being the best off road vehicles in the world, it's interesting why there tires only offer about 3/16 to 1/4" clearance for the rim. The best drivers will still curb the rims. When it's time for breaks, 30k miles. Expect to pay 1000 dollars per axle. Oh, oil and tire rotate, 300
