I recently picked up a Range Rover HSE diesel to replace the M5 which is coming up on lease end. Like the M5, I've always wanted to try the Range Rover and I got a great deal on a leftover 2017. This is my first Rover and first diesel. For driving in the city and on long road trips it's amazing. Extremely comfortable, quiet and the diesel has plenty of power. I've also been surprised at how planted it feels, and how accurate the steering is. I got 29mpg on a recent trip to SoCal. I thought I would miss the speed of the M5, but after our 18mo old was born, I haven't really had a chance to use it. If you're thinking of a Range Rover for your next car I would go for it. So far really enjoying it.

I am on my third. I traded my 2013 M5 back in Dec 2014 for a used 2012 RR Sport. I got cash back but the Rover is a great vehicle on and off the road. My second was a new 2015 RR Sport that I would still have were it not totaled. I like the full size better because it has more legroom in back but performs just as well off road.

They are simply fantastic vehicles.

There’s a reason many magazines say that if you could only have one vehicle, make it a Rangie.

LOVE THEM!

I've had a bunch of them too. Great size and swallows up a families worth of cargo without breaking a sweat!

No way, if I could only have one vehicle, it's definitely the M5

A diesel in an SUV is so nice. We have an X5D and love it, been totally perfect for over 80k miles.

The point is a vehicle that can do everything, and well. Try driving thru' 12" of snow in your M5, even with winter tyres. Not going to happen
