Used 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport for sale near Warrington

In a world where almost every manufacturer is busy making a host of SUVs, a Range Rover still stands apart. And the 2008 Range Rover Sport is a fine example of that. Despite being based on the same platform as the more humble Land Rover Discovery, this first-generation Range Rover Sport manages to convey the same imperious sense of occasion – and of heritage – that the full-size Range Rover pulls off so effortlessly. And yet it does so in a more compact, affordable form. That being said, the potential repair bills are enough to make your eyes water.
## Strengths: More fun to drive than a 4x4 of this size and weight has any right to be
So much car for the money
The cabin is truly luxurious
## Weaknesses: The 2.7-litre diesel doesn't live up to the 'Sport' billing
Epic running costs
The threat of a big repair bill will always be in the back of your mind
## Is the 2008 Range Rover Sport better than the 2008 BMW X5? The Range Rover has more of an impressive heritage when it comes to full-on off-roaders, but the reputation for high maintenance and running costs of the Range Rover Sport might put some people off. This is less of an issue with the BMW X5, plus the X5 is a more capable car when its comes to on-road driving behaviour.
