Range Rover Sport
The Range Rover Sport is a very versatile car. The Sport condenses the essence of the Range Rover into a more driver-oriented package, but it's still very good off-road. If you can live with the extrovert styling, it's a versatile luxury family car. Admittedly, it does have a thirst for fuel - especially the insanely powerful Supercharged petrol model. Unless you really feel the need for supercar rivalling acceleration, go for the entry level diesel. It's powerful and more fuel efficient.

Pros:
- Cabin quality and ambience
- High standard specification
- Very practical indeed
-
Cons:
- The regular Range Rover is classier
- Still feels big around town
- Outrageous fuel and tax costs
Despite the name, the Range Rover Sport is no sports car. However, it is more suited to keen drivers than the Range Rover proper, because it's a little smaller - so it handles better on winding roads. From behind the wheel, the cabin feels special, and the Jaguar-sourced 3.0-litre V6 diesel is smooth as many petrol engined models.
