Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The RR sport is a great tow car, we have a 1.6t caravan and you wouldn’t know it was there. Very comfortable and quiet with, for a heavy car, great on road performance when you want it. Performance Offroad is good but very much depends on the tyres fitted. The car requires regular servicing, which isn’t cheap, from a specialist Range Rover garage, not a tick box service from a main dealer!! My car has 87K miles therefore age related maintenance is a problem, both inlet manifolds have split at between 80 and 86k miles and replaced at £700 a pop, alternator replaced, the ASR pipework also failed due to corrosion at about 7 years old. Mind you at 12years old the depreciation is low but while maintenance costs are high they are certainly lower than the depreciation of a newer car!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
