Living with a Range Rover Sport - 1 Year Update

[@kendesilva468]

I bought a 2015 RR sport super charged in September 2020 for 50k usd from CarMax (with a 125k bumper to bumper warranty), with 54k miles... I love it, it drives great, sounds great, and feels very solid and well built. The only con is new tires were 2k USD, a new battery cost me 450, and I needed a new air strut and alternator (covered under the warranty, otherwise a total of 3k). I knew services and parts would be expensive, so I purchased this 5 years used and the car dropped in price by 60% over that time and it still looks new and current. I really do love it.

[@Spartansrule118]

do you still have it?

[@MrPeterthepilot]

I’m on my second Sport. I’m completely obsessed with it…

[@nano.joe.4851]

bought an amazing 2016 RRS SC V8 Dynamic for $28,000. It was a one owner from Florida (no rust) and the lady who owned it before me only drove it around 6,000 miles/year. Has 45,000 miles when I bought it. Vehicle is an absolute beast.

[@TheApprenticeBen]

Appreciate your honest ownership review unlike most others who focus more on justifying their purchase. Some more details into that service bill would be welcome, just to understand what it entails. Looking forward to further updates.

[@jasonloucks323]

I just picked up my dream RRS. A 2024 Sport Dynamic SE in Borasco Gray with the Garner Interior and I LOVE it. I did bite the bullet and pay the extra money for the extended 7 year bumper to bumper warranty for some added peace of mind, but I LOVE it. I really can’t see me driving anything else, so longs as I can keep affording to do so. Awesome vehicles.

[@UnwanaUdoh]

Glad your dream came true, I am working on getting one soon. Thanks for sharing this 🙌

[@mikedodd5118]

My god this is the reason I need to live off grid.

[@GrandadPunchy]

Great content as always Daniel. Audio, great no problems at all. Keep up the good work. Great tyres those Mitchellin's. Is that your driveway you're on there? Looking forward to the Audi video's coming out. Stay safe. Stay healthy Alan L200

[@AmandeepSingh-if4rg]

Beautiful ride driving nearly 1 year I love that 🤓

[@jeff1595]

Sweet ride 👌

[@Mike060504]

Thinking of buying one. Enjoyed listening to your thoughts. Thanks!

[@jamalwalker2104]

Manifesting things is important 😊

[@leeroy361]

How many miles do you get on a full tank of fuel

[@daveinthailand]

Great video always wanted a Range Rover but heard they are unreliable

[@jihunkim2211]

Thanks for all your useful advice - i'm thinking about buying a disco sport HSE used 18/19 plate - you mentioned a 4k servicing bill which is quite frankly alot more than I thought it would be - was that including your tyres - do you have maybe a slightly more detailed breakdown so I can potentially know what to expect? Additionally -

[@marsh1987jm]

Yeah that 4k service bill has put me off a bit I was expecting about 300 quid

[@EV-Diary]

Dam this Chanel is a bit of a hidden Jem you need some more subs your brilliant keep up the good work

[@mrdanielknight]

Thanks Aaron!

[@kevansinclair7659]

Good video Daniel 👍 hope your keeping well, and the family also.do like the Range Rover , and good to hear you haven’t had any issues with it , always seem to hear reliability issues with Range Rover 🤷🏼 maybe it’s the older versions that can be iffy , anyway glad you are doing well 👍 keep up the good work.

[@mrdanielknight]

Thanks for watching Kevan, I've also heard horror stories but touch wood nothing major has gone on me!

[@reviewerbibhuti5100]

Company improve day by day please avoid this type of thing

[@stevoone342]

Good vid, im currently researching my next pretental car, I’ve owned a couple Range rovers my first was a 2011 tdv8 which i loved and regretted getting rid off and was fairly economical and not that expensive but i did do some of the maintenance myself. The second was a gap car a cheeky cheaply a 2007 super charged v8 high mileage but one owner full LR history, grate engine but if you drive a lot not good on fuel, and only lasted a few months till the gear box went and before that i had the gear box serviced, i think in retrospect that gear box may of never been serviced du LR class it as life time oil (which it’s NOT). But had to get rid off. So i may aim to get a low mileage full service history one or two owned Rangy but am also considering a X5 and a few other options.

[@johnneesham3465]

Would love one, but that £4K first service has completely put me off!

[@mrdanielknight]

Don’t let it put you off John. It’s unlikely you would have the same issues I had during your first service!

[@JohnJohnson-xm2mu]

Dont be put off with daniels expensive service ,like he said he had other issues,you can get a service plan,or if your buying an approved used check to see if it comes with a plan from new,if it doesn’t,a lr main dealer service is about £800 well worth it,hope this helps,but I’ll just say iam on my 3rd rrs now,and when it’s time to change ,it wil be no 4 for sure

[@stevensawyer7731]

Well worth getting a service plan always for these or for any car 3 years old

[@craigblakesley4397]

Great, useful video 👍

[@richardh3587]

Have owned one of these for about a year now. Like you, it was one of those “for my wife but really for me” type purchases. Always considered myself more of a car guy but I really just love driving this thing like 90% of the time. So smooth and satisfying. Steering is surprisingly good - I actually prefer it to recent bmw and Audi setups I’ve driven. My wife also thinks it’s a bit too big, and meanwhile I’m fantasizing about getting a v8 version. Also wish ours had the black pack and roof like yours. :)

Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

[@ledgerdavid3435]

@Rodrigo Luka Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ledgerdavid3435]

@Rodrigo Luka it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@rodrigoluka453]

@Ledger David Glad I could help xD

[@robertwalker1742]

Check out a xc90 lot less to maintain and drives beautiful

[@paulgannon3261]

close to getting an xc90 til they remodelled it, now it has the worst back end of any car on the road and could not face looking at it. Nice interior but not a patch in terms of class as the sport

[@bekabeka71]

My next Suv after I’ll sell my ml350 2009 nothing less after Mercedes but only Range Rover. My suv manages around 15mpg which is like 15l per 100km . So being a petrol engine I’m always at a gas station however it is very very quick and good looking black on black

[@Tracertme]

I know the tyres are good, do you find them noisey compared to others.. ?

[@Rockwomble]

Good video but the colour grading is awful. Looks so washed out.

[@MikeKenyon]

That looks like Apple Carplay at 4:02 - is that something that these 2017 RRSs have as standard, or is some firmware flashing required?

[@mrdanielknight]

I didn't have mine flashed, it came that way and I believe all 2017 cars with the upgraded screen come with Carplay

[@mikepalmer7687]

Great video my next Car will be a RR

[@carycoller3140]

PLEASE get the SVR. Courtney will be ok. She'll get used to it.

[@MrDannygdesigns]

Good video. Always loved the look and presence of the RR sport. Want one myself but can’t bring myself to parting with a noisey high performance c63 S to a more chilled wafter. Wish I had enough funds to get one as a second car lol

[@mrdanielknight]

I do love a C63s, I know which car I'd prefer :)

[@as9211]

You could always go for an SVR and have the best of both worlds !

[@MrDannygdesigns]

@@as9211 that’s the dream mate

[@lesmoor001]

just puts my £60 to get my 206 through the MOT into perspective

[@Tec2Nut]

Has this the none meridian sound system? What's it like

[@DigitalJunior2003]

Get video. Same SWMBO issues as the rest of us with LRs. Not sure where you get your money from but wow that’s a lot.

[@kevinmcg6747]

Wafting car and wafting youtuber😁. Always relaxing to watch you Daniel, none of the hype and noise of many others. I too like the idea of an SUV (Range Rover) but at the moment I’m still in the M2 comp so that ensures my funding is capped😉. You and the family take care and hope to see more ‘seasonal vlogs😂’ PS glad you kept your powder dry on the financials! I remember vividly the heat and light from the RS3 vlogs.

[@mrdanielknight]

Thanks for watching Kevin! I certainly learned my lesson re the financials!

[@systemler44]

My petrol v90 hybrid only gets 30 mpg

[@wass006]

37mpg is really very good, my 09 X5 35d averages around 21mpg

[@7privet_]

21 is too low for the x5.. should be closer to 8-9L/100km (35mpg)

[@brandonh3876]

Whats the range like over bumps and potholes and also the rs3 over potholes

[@mrdanielknight]

You barely feel most potholes in the Range, bumps can cause the car to wallow, in the RS3 you feel everything!

[@brianiswrong]

We share 1 thing in common Be both know a black circle deal when we see one (even if all 4 tyres for the fiesta came to £234 fitted)😀

[@jodisdream7357]

I'm guessing 4K because it was serviced at a main dealers? That to me is a ridiculous price to pay.

[@mrdanielknight]

Possibly. I was told the bushes would be a pricey job regardless but I’m also sure the dealer put their fee on top!

[@marcos3ltrv6]

@@mrdanielknight My guess is they changed the belts on that service, RR say they must be changed at 2 years or 120k miles......I had mine done at 135k and 5 years old. Do be aware that the TDV6 has a weak crankshaft and is prone to snapping. Mine broke at 139k without warning and cost me £7k to have the crank replaced at an independant garrage....RR quoted £23k Some sports will go to over 200k miles without problems but I used to drive mine fairly hard with lots of sports mode use for overtaking and ragging through twisty roads....not any more, take it nice and easy and currently getting 39 mpg😀 Its a 2013 which Ive had from new and the 3rd Ive had and by far the best car I've ever owned.

[@kz8476]

May all the best happen to you

[@riboid]

Nice to flit from the Range Rover to S3 and then the RS3.

[@johnweir8936]

Nice video, these are great cars but would advise anyone buying these to keep a few thousand back for any maintenance which can be expensive. If I spent a lot of money on repairs to a car I would be more inclined to keep rather than change the car so i feel I get my money’s worth ha ha

[@user-it5dc2lr3e]

Hi mate, great review. I really like the watch you are wearing, would you mind revealing which watch this is?

[@richardhopkinson7931]

Looks like a Rolex Datejust...

[@flymofoisthebest3885]

F type, Range Sport, or i8?

[@Davidg-wu5ur]

Hi a random question, does your RRS have a rear diff lock.

[@ahmetalkn2073]

nice car. enjoy it

[@marksmith3469]

Is that 37 around town and stuff because if it is it's better than my petrol focus

[@NGRPNathanKing]

No, think it's motorway. About 25 around town from what I've read.

[@f10ec18]

First video Iv watched, did you just say my other cars s3 and rs3 i defo heard wrong

[@mrdanielknight]

You heard correct but I don’t own the RS3 anymore

[@joeljumps]

Wow, seems like 4k is a lot for only having about 20,000 on it. They might have ripped you off on that one. Bushings shouldn't go bad that fast.

[@unknownuser954]

I have the same one, when your turn corners and accelerate does your one make a knocking noise?? Or is it just mine !! I’m super scared

[@bigdarbs19]

That could be worn suspension bushes, its a common problem. Especially on cars that are 3+ years old.

[@oasdfe1691]

Which engine do you have? Hows the MPG?

[@marcusskyfall]

He's already towards the beginning of the video 🤦‍♂️😂

[@Paul-if1jq]

SVR will cost you to fill up - 15-22 mpg, best

[@dixon296]

Looking at getting one just trying to do as much research and due diligence was just wondering if you could be more Pacific on what was entitled in the servicing costs love the cars just want to go with my eyes open thanks

[@tavy7200]

Hi , did you bought your RR? I looking to buy one 2014 V8 5.0 I don't know if it's reliable engine?!🤔

[@dixon296]

No sorry still an itch I need to you doing the right things with research there's a good specialist in London I would speak to

[@whitecrowuk575]

Question: how many time did you drive it off road? Be honest :D

[@webbedtrader]

Nice thumbnail

[@cestrian5294]

Sold mine because it leaked and JLR weren’t interested in fixing it. Plus a friend had the engine in his blow up and it’s body off job to replace it, £22000 worth. Dodgy music must go.

[@coocoo4cocablunty]

Like I just care about what things suck about it, not the scratches you got from someone else.

[@nigeltickner5685]

l have one, l think they are just a great drive ,and a good all rounder, but am puzzled you saying they are expensive to run,,,, then say you are thinking of getting an SVR , it will be three times as much on petrol,,,,

[@mrdanielknight]

Thanks for watching Nigel. What I meant was they’re expensive to run in general but exactly how expensive will be different for different people.
