Used 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged 4dr SUV 4WD (5.0L 8cyl S/C 6A) Consumer Reviews
2010 Range Rover Super Charged! Amazing!
Owning a Range Rover was always something I hoped to do. It was worth the wait! I was a good girl and test drove other SUV's to make all the necessary comparisons ... but of course found that no other car compared! I bought it new and have had very little shop time. In just over 4 years ... A rear camera, brakes, oil changes. Mostly basic stuff. This ride is amazing inside and out. Paint and exterior styling stand out against the rest, and the interior is heaven. Luxurious and beautiful! Not to mention the power and smooth handling. Hard to believe it's weighs as much as it does. You would never know. I wouldn't trade it! Happy Customer!
Nothing but trouble
I bought my 2010 supercharged Autobiography three years ago. After looking it over and taking it for a test drive during the day all seemed fine. When it got dark while driving from FL to PA the headlights only stayed on for 30 secs. Found out when I got it home they were faulty. So the first full day cost me $4,000 for new headlights. Soon after that the RR started overheating. So another $5,000 + for a new head gasket. Then the gearbox fault indicator warning came on and the vehicle would go into safe mode when trying to drive up a hill. Another $6,000 for a transmission rebuild. Safety mode still keeps on coming and then will slow the RR down without being able to change gear. I changed out all the vehicles solenoids and still the same problem. The vehicle came with 22" rims and that made the steeringwheel shake. Another $5,000 for new rims and tyres and the shaking problem was fixed. So after spending over $30,000 on repairs alone over the last three years my dream vehicle still can't even get up a small hill without breaking down. I've owned many luxury cars in my time and I can honestly say that the Range Rover has been the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned. I would never own another one. And to think these are now $250,000 new.

Great first impression
I'll revisit the review once I own this RR a bit longer, but I took the 2010 SC a couple days ago and it's incredible. I've used this site a great deal - and thought I'd share the initial impressions for the 2010SC RR. Tons of power, actually rears back when you really step on it, a bit more body sway than you'd like, incredible interior, new nav/audio is best in class, (we have a porsche and bmw current year to compare with). All together - classy ride, very smooth, don't mistake it for a sport SUV - but the best at what it is supposed to be. Power, luxury, comfort, and classic styling. Loving it.
Range Rover Autobiography Surprises
Last year I bought a R/R Autobiography. Stornaway Grey with Ivory hide/black stitched and Piano Black wood........and what a car! Land Rover have produced the 4WD Bentley. The overall finish is amazing, perfect paint, near perfect body shut-lines. Not Lexus-like but amazingly close.......and this is a Range Rover!! The 4.2l supercharged V8 is superb, the ZF auto brilliant. Ride excellent although a bit of body roll due to weight and high c of g. Does not handle as well as the Sport. Ride comfort and silence at all speeds and road surfaces is world class. High spec level for this model in Australia leaves nothing to be desired. At Au$230,000 Land Rover's pricing is over the top.
Satisfied owner
This car replaced an MB ML63, one of the best cars I've ever owned but the too-firm ride began to wear me down (and my wife). Fortunately, the RR has a new and nicely-powered supercharged engine for 2010, since it was so easy to get spoiled by and used to the ML. So far, I have been very pleased with the RR. It's not sporty and is all about luxury / comfort; different strokes for different folks. It's basically an S-Class SUV. The RR has only 500 miles on it so far, so I will need to update these initial impressions in a few months. Also, I'll soon be putting on true snow tires (to substitute for the all-season stock tires) and giving it some real-world back-road snow tests.
