Here's the Edmunds review: 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Review and Specs

Pros

Refined road manners, powerful supercharged V8 engine, iconic Range Rover name and styling, theoretically capable of tackling off-road conditions.

Cons

Hefty curb weight, poor fuel economy, uncomfortable rear seat, sloping liftgate compromises cargo space.

Driving Impressions

A hefty curb weight keeps the base HSE Range Rover Sport from winning any awards, whether on the drag strip, through the slalom or at the gas pump. The torquey Supercharged version, however, does a much better job living up to the Sport's higher-performance image. In our opinion, this is the only trim level that can truly match the performance of the Sport's highly capable competitors. The 4.2-liter V8 offers plenty of power, and the Sport's chassis and suspension deliver a smooth ride and responsive handling -- thanks in part to the Dynamic Response system.

Here... there... everywhere!!

Had some family stuff go down, and a whole bunch of other stuff which made for an interesting first half of the year.

everything is settled for now??

The Range Rover Sport isn’t just a model designation, but a different car. Lower, smaller and supposedly a bit meaner, the Sport supposedly brings the price of entry into Range Rover ownership down. It does, but whether it should is another conversation entirely.

Comfort
Sharper than a Discovery 3 by some margin, but not quite as composed as the Range Rover, it doesn't quite know what it wants to be. It might ultimately be faster than its big brother, but better? That's up for debate. We'd take a base-spec Rangie proper every time.

Performance
A combination of engine options from the Discovery 3 and the Range Rover appear in the Sport; 2.7-litre V6 diesel (Disco3), 4.4 V8 or 4.2 supercharged V8 (Range Rover). The diesel is a great engine and works well, but it's hardly sporty. The supercharged V8 is the only engine that'll make you pay attention; 0-62mph in 7.2 and on to 140mph - though it's worth remembering that if you want a fast SUV, both BMW and Porsche are down into the fives for acceleration, and they both handle considerably better.

Cool
Some people think that the Range Rover Sport is the coolest thing on the planet. We aren't those people.

Quality
Initially the Range Rover Sport feels pretty high class - until you have a go in a Range Rover, then it feels like a smaller, cheaper copy. It shouldn't vex too many people though - and the usual LR niggles have been worked through on other cars, so the RRS should be reliable after all that.
10 out of 20

Handling
Surprisingly not quite as good as the Range Rover proper - maybe because it's based on the Discovery chassis. It can still be made to surprise a few hot hatches, but it's not the most responsive of set-ups. The steering is nothing special, but the body control is good, with the usual excellent beyond-the-beaten-track ability and Land Rover's ‘Terrain Response' system making off-roading with style a mere twist of a knob away.
14 out of 20

Practicality
The RRS is lower and shorter than the RR, but head, leg and elbow space is still pretty good as long as we're talking for four rather than five. The usual RR split tailgate is very handy, and there's a decent boot.

Running costs
Even the diesel doesn't manage 30mpg, and the range runs from £36k to £63k so the Sport is pretty hard to think of as a ‘budget' Range Rover. The supercharged car will dip into single figures if you drive it hard. Every model gets hit for 35percent tax, but residuals are currently good.

today i saw a non-sport red Z......and before i saw a sport red Z..... what's up with red's....lol......i want to see a PG and black Z.

nogood ftl
