Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic SDV6

I'm sure that it's lovely.

One of our suppliers has one in full Wilmslow spec - white with black roof, massive black wheels and black leather. I found it pleasant enough to drive and be sat in, but I felt I was missing a Tango tan, massive nail extensions and a rose gold iPhone.

I do like the pop out side steps though.

Never really had much love for Rangies in the past but recently I keep searching them on AT. I must be getting old

Pleased to hear it’s not just me, but only in Silver/Grey/Green with clear glass and silver wheels. I had a drive in a both a Sport and Proper RR back in April, really impressive how well they drive on the road, but there is still a compromise due to their off road capability (which I don’t need). The other problem is when you start with the Sport then try the proper one, which is much nicer in every way (imo), the budget needs to increase. The potential unreliability put me off as well, I’m used to fault/niggle/rattle free motoring and don’t have the time or patience to deal with ‘character’.

I didn’t even try a Velar, it’s too small inside, less space for people than you get in a Golf.

They’re like anything when it comes to specifications, you can build them to your taste or something else. They do drive very well but for me the compromise would be reduced practically and an inferior driving position I’d get from a conventional estate/ saloon. I do prefer to sit high and the cabin is nicely done. The wonderful thing of the car market is you can get what you like. The full fat Range Rover is a nice car but I don’t think I’d feel short changed with a Sport.  

I know I'm in the minority on here, but I really don't get the hate for dark rear glass. Maybe it's a comment on what I use my car for, but I wouldn't be without it on my car for reasons of heat comfort for the dogs and/or hiding some expensive model aircraft from casual prying eyes. Plus, for both the Legacy and the Octavia, I like how it looks! 

Each to their own I suppose. 

I can agree they are naff in the wrong spec. But to me they're very cool in the right spec. It is just shame that some people have no taste and specify some awful specs (like white with black roof and black wheels that seems stupidly popular - whoever made that colour combo popular needs boiling). 

Some people have tinted glass so dark I am surprised they can drive at all but for reducing need for aircon and keeping kids/dogs cool, why not. One summer my father borrowed his shops butcher mod transit. Stuck a matress on the floor and chucked us in. What with all the seams and the floor 'glassed up it was like being in an oven.

I think tinted rear glass a necessity on estates as I’m too lazy to pull the load cover over and as boxer says, stops those unwanted persons swing what’s inside. Only problem is dark glass and the fashion for shit reverse lights mean you can see fuck all when you reverse.

Yes and decent estates have electric / automatic load covers 

Well count me as a luddite, but I really don't like privacy glass. It makes anything look like a van. Have all you fans ever tried to be a passenger in the back of a privacy glassed car for a long journey? It's like being in your own personal tomb.

On the occasions when I look at full fat or Sport RR's on Autotrader, if you exclude all those with privacy glass at the rear, then you're down to quite a limited choice.

I'm in the minority too!

It does depend on tint level. Sometimes the degree of tint is pushed beyond sensibility but while it is not my thing, I understand tint for windows in general terms.
