Used 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Consumer Reviews
JUNK CAR
I wanted to wait before I could write a review. I feel comfortable now to say that this $90,000 vehicle is the most UNRELIABLE car you can purchase. Unfortunately, I went for looks since the vehicle looks awesome but the electronics and software of it feels like it has not yet been perfected. I’ve had issues since the day I pulled it out of the dealership’s driveway. I should have known that I had bought a huge expensive problematic vehicle. First problem a computer problem where the keys would not respond to lock/unlock doors. This took an extensive 12 day at the shop to figure what was causing the problem. Second problem, after only a little over 1,000 miles the water pump broke and that was another 10 days + of wait for parts to arrive since parts come from Great Britain. No parts in the US but yet car is sold here. Third visit to the shop was for a regular service call but when i thought car was ready, the engine light was lit. Another few days passed before I was able to take it home. Fourth visit, a water leak inside vehicle (driver’s side and seat behind driver) drenched in water and also a service was due. . Again, vehicle was kept in the shop for over a week and loaners are never available. After Paying over $1000 in service, leak was fixed which I was told it was an air conditioning fault. Took the car home and after short of a week an engine light comes on and the passenger’s A/C is blowing hot air. Unfortunately, there is no words to describe how unhappy and disappointed I am to own this EXPENSIVE JUNK of a car. I know I will not be keeping this miserable car for very long. A big piece of advice to anyone who might be contemplating the idea of purchasing one, TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
A joy to drive
I smile every time I get in this car. This is my 2nd RRS(previous was a 2008). So glad I waited for this refresh year. The exterior is stunning. The interior and infotainment is the biggest upgrade to me. Yes, the new touch pro duo isn’t perfect. But to me, it’s one of the best in class. My issues are minor. An occasional glitch on the screen or a lost connection with my iPod touch. Most of this will be resolved with the latest software update. Which will also add Apple car play! I went with the V6 HSE Dynamic this time. I thought I would really miss the V8. Surprisingly, there is not much difference out on the road. Especially in Dynamic mode. I do want the growl from the exhaust. So next time, I will break down and get the V8. As with any luxury car, you get what you pay for. Parts are expensive as the car ages. But you should know and expect this. For the cars I considered (Audi Q7, BMW X5 or X6, Porsche Macaan), this one checked all the boxes for what I wanted. Appearance Style Drive comfort Upgraded technology It’s a joy to drive.

Not Sporty nor Reliable
For the price that is paid, one would expect monitor interface that does not lag, a back up camera that does not black out, a basic features such as an easy entry option for seats and steering wheel. Instead, the opposite is found with the Range Rover Sport. In addition, the car name "Sport" is misleading. Pressing on the gas, one feel no power despite the gas wasting turbocharger. If your interested in useless widgets and add-ons then look no further.

2019 Range Rover sport.
Worst car I have ever (leased). Would not buy or lease another. Feel stuck. Cameras don’t work properly. Computer is very much a distraction. Don’t buy.
