Good luck with the Range! I, too, HAD an '08 RR Sort, HSE. Identical to the one you show in the pictures. I loved the look of it, but found the interior not as put together as the x5. Oh yeah, had to have the tire pressure module replace at 7k miles. Otherwise, fairly reliable vehicle from my experience. I will say that the brake dust was horrendous! The wheels aren't very friendly to cleaning the dust off either. The pet peeve that got me the most was the lack of the integrated audio and nav system. The bluetooth was terrible and those on the other end of the line always complained about it. Did I mention you can't input destinations once the vehicle is in motion!? Regardless of my gripes, it was a nice vehicle and to each their own...GOOD LUCK and enjoy the new ride!

Agreed... I was originally after a RRSC, went on the forums and half the people loved theirs, and the other half said, "I don't know if I like it, it's always in the shop."

Congrats though GAM3OVR, enjoy it. It is a sharp SUV.

Congrats! I too think the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are beautiful looking cars. A friend of mine and I both bought 2006 RR Sports at the same time. Mine was a NIGHTMARE, hers was almost perfect for her 4 year lease. My Nav screen and electonics would black out for no reason, AC would go warm while in reverse (Really), error messages, air suspension issues, would not start...

My 2008 Full Size Range Rover was better, but still a disappointment. Also, Range Rover Service was HORRIBLE. They seem very untrained, parts are never available, and if they gave me a loaner, it was a Saturn or a Pontiac Sunfire!! Not that BMW is the best, but their Service is leaps and bounds better. Best service ever was Lexus!!

Yup, the Range Rover looks great but the sport was, and still is a disaster. Drives like a tractor. Reliability from hell and interior electronics from the 1980's. In fairness they did sort out the interior for 2010 though.

wow you can see such British favoritism from Clarkson on the Range Rover. He did mention the negatives but in no way would he talk about a BMW like he did with that for the positives.

BMW sold Land Rover to Ford in 2000. Ford then sold Land Rover (and Jaguar) to Tata in 2008.

RR Sport is completely different from Range Rover. It is based on LR3 platform (=Ford parts bin), which explains the so-so road manners, cheaper interior and lower price than RR.
