RR full-size vs Sport
What are the main differences?
Obviously the cars are totally different - but in terms of drivability?
06-09, the Sport had an awful interior whereas the RR was gorgeous. But now the Sport has a nice interior. Also seems lighter so "performance" should be better? Have not driven either and only been a passenger in an 06-09 RR SC.
Which do you guys prefer overall?
Engines are the same.. I assume chassis is completely different?

I prefer the FullSize, its like sitting in what can be said as the closest Equivalent to a Rolls Royce meets SUV especially the Autobiography version which is my favourite.
I absolutley love the RR FullSize, The interior is very comfortable and I like the high feel compared to lower height suvs like the X5. SuperCharged RR Fullsize is the way to go and the 2010 3rd facelift model is really great.

I like only fullsize RRs, like a G-wgen its definitely in the unique niche of its own. The feel when driving it is like you drive the Rolls of SUVs. Nothing comes close to it if you really like such style and driving.
RR Sport is just another SUV pretending to be sporty while not being such. And I would take Cayenne Turbo or even S over it.

I like them both, but would only ever consider a fullsize, it's exactly what a Range Rover should be, purely luxury and comfort, with a touch of off road cred thrown in for good measure, the sport is undoubtedly a good car, but just not a good Range Rover IMHO.

The 06-09 sports do nothing for me. I think they are POS's as well. Electronics are goofy... questionable build quality. Just my experience.
If you're going to get an RR, get the full size, in my opinion.
Sport has tighter handling, but the fullsize is fine to me. No one has ever really explained what the point of cornering as fast as possible in an SUV is.

Not for me, just curious.
I would not get an 06-09 Sport, but the 2010 Sport has a much improved interior, same engines, subjective looks, lighter, etc... Only been in full size and it was exquisite. Was thinking for $20K less, one could have a similar ride (2010+) albeit a bit lighter and shorter. But I guess the full size is much different.
Do like Black/Ivory & Ocean Sport SC with the 20'' Stormer wheels, though!

For full size, White/Navy is nice.

Is the Autobiography that much nicer? Seems like different colored leather, different (but no better IMO) wheels, and a badge for $15K...

Owned the full size RR for a short while before selling. It is horrible on fuel, but is amazing to be driven in it especially.
At the wheel, you feel like a king, and the visibility great too, since you will be buying new, u will not have to worry about reliability. In a month and a half of ownership i had to replace two parts: an $800 one and and an alternator for about $1000.
