Land Rover Range Rover Sport Review Summary
"Ride comfort is augmented by sport bucket seats up front and comfortable outboard seating positions in back, although the rear seatbacks do not recline as they do in some inexpensive SUVs."
"Rattle off the hardware beneath and the Sport can seem like a bit of a control freak."
"The brakes are aggressive-maybe even too ag-gressive-at low speed. Then again, they're calibrated to provide the confidence you crave when you're screaming along the autobahn at a buck twenty and change."
"...the most impressive thing about the car-there's virtually no body roll. The secret? Hydraulic motors powered by an engine-driven pump that adjust the stiffness of the antiroll bars in response to cornering loads. The computer also modifies the stiffness of the air springs to enhance compliance over bumpy roads."
"In two days of off-road excursions in a variety of hostile terrains, the [Range Rover] Sport never seemed at a loss."
What reviewers liked least about the Land Rover Range Rover Sport:
"Is it fast? Well, let's just say "Sport" is a bit of a stretch. ... 5,468 pounds in the HSE and 5,670 pounds for the supercharged model. That's fatty-fatty 4x4."
"... it can be a little rumbly-jumbly, with side-to-side sniggles."
Land Rover Range Rover Sport Comparisons:
"Situated in the product lineup between the LR3 and the flagship Range Rover, the [Range Rover] Sport neatly hybridizes the attributes of both."
"It has more legroom and nearly as much head, shoulder and cargo room as the much-larger Range Rover."
"Like the 4.8-liter version of the BMW X5 and the Porsche Cayenne, the Range Rover Sport isn't an SUV so much as it's a fresh take on the grand-touring machine."
Best one-liners about the Land Rover Range Rover Sport:
"... if you're the sort who occasionally likes to chase sports cars on mountain roads, you'd want the Range Rover Sport."
"... it's clearly the sexed-up, hormonal progeny of the patrician Range Rover ..."
