Land Rover Range Rover (2002 - 2012) 4.2 V8 Supercharged VOGUE SE 4d Auto (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It doesn't really, it's a car. But if it did, it would say I have excellent taste, appreciate the best things in life, and have reached a stage where I can enjoy them.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Some like, some find it a little large, doesn't really matter. People who appreciate cars love it, and I love to drive it. Kids adore it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because of the way it makes me feel. It's just a wonderful place to be. These things are seriously habit forming!

What are you likely to buy next?

A newer one, and a sports car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think I got a very fair deal, including a warranty and an LPG conversion.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Because it's the best!

What was the dealer like?

Good, you don't get dodgy dealer types dealing with this type of car. I think the main dealer supplies him because they know they can trust him too.

What's it like to drive?

It is sublime to drive. Whilst I have the Mercedes courtesy car it brings home how good the RR is. The Mercedes B class I am driving feels like a horse and cart! The Supercharged doesn't have too much body roll, and has fantastic acceleration, not so much off the line, but for overtaking.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park, the high driving position, parking sensors all round, and reversing camera see to that. Doesn't even take up much more space. Only thing is you need to find a large space to avoid other people opening their doors into it and causing dents.

Have you had any problems with the car?

There are a few teething issues, which are now being resolved, a gearbox glitch, engine light, lumbar support pump, and rear screen loose wire, nothing untoward, and all being deal with, whilst I have a nice courtesy car.

What's most practical about your car?

The massive boot, the tailgate you can sit on, the acres on interior space and light, the fact you can take it anywhere, and it always looks great, and does the job well.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

All the in car entertainment, the navigation and phone, and the heated steering wheel.
