Range Rover or Cayenne?

I'd go with the RR. I don't really like the looks of the Cayenne. The Range also seems to be better appointed. I was considering the G, Cayenne, and RR a while back, and went with the G. If I had to do it over again, I would probably go with the RR.

 

The Rover is bigger and in my opinion more comfortable. Unless you are talking about the Turbo, I would go with the Rover. Awesome interior.

 

Rover

 

03 range rover, pure class.
porsche, its O.K.

 

Apparantly Porsche can't sell all the Cayennes they've imported so you could pick up a fantastic deal. Might be worth shopping around.
Cayenne is a better drive, RR more style and luxury

Your call.

 

Range rover 03 model all day and im not saying that because they make them 30 miles from me,x5 good power good on the bends for the type of car,interior could do better,RR power good but it is slightly heaver than a x5,interior best in the market,ML well no ta driven a few and you can see the price difference,cayennes havent had the pleasure except for sitting in a few,go well but its that interior,
Just got one complaint about the RR whished theyed put the ingnition switch somwhere else,its like a dam saab-well vauxhall now,
cheers

If you're stuck between the two then definitely the Rover, but you ought to check out the G55 or G500!!!

 

Cayenne Turbo. No contest. Norman, you're a driver, don't fool yourself!

I went through this predicament while deciding on an SUV for our house in Boston. Cayenne Turbo definitely beat everything out by a wide margin. Go drive them, I think you'll agree. I'm getting one sometime this winter whenever I make it to Massachusetts.

The styling is, of course, completely up to you. I liked the Porsche interior better, but maybe it just feels more familiar to me (as an ex Porsche owner). My wife liked the Porsche more also.

Kuzi has a RR. Jim G. has a Cayenne. Give them a shout and see what their 2 cents are too! Either one is a good choice. Whatever you do don't get a Hummer H2 UNLESS you want to go really slow! OK, OK, they're not THAT bad.

Cheers

 

Kuzi has an '03 G55 now, too! Thing is wicked!!

 

HAHAHA!! Kuzi and his toys! Good for him! HAHAHAHA!!

Cheers

 

Both vehicles are great in their own respective ways, but one thing to keep in mind is the horrible depreciation of the Cayenne. Its values are dropping like bricks. Another thing to look out for is the fact that RR is switching all components over the Ford soon, so replacement parts for the current RR may be hard to come by in the future. Styling wise, I would say Range all the way, but the Cayenne Turbo is very quick for a SUV (raced a couple and they stayed pretty even with my M5).

 

Get the Cayenne. It's not as luxurious, but it is pretty luxurious inside. It's really comfortable. If you get the Cayenne S, I suggest you get the Air Suspension. It's standard on the Turbo and a pretty rare option on the S, but it's worth it, I think. 4 zone climate control is NOT standard on the Turbo, which a lot of people get mad about since it's a 90K dollar car. But, honestly, the Cayenne all in all is exciting, comfortable, and fun. The Turbo is obviously also super fast. My only experience is with the Cayenne S, and I can tell you that it's great. RR is boring by comparison.

 

Cayenne Turbo lapped Porsche's test track faster than the Carrera 2.

C'mon Norman! You know you want to smoke those fools in their sports cars when they look at you like an anomaly for driving a big, slow, hulking, overweight, lumbering, SUV. That's why I want one. Hehehe.

Cheers

 

Get a Range Rover in dark metallic red or black. Noth' classier in the SUV market. Theres a 3rd row seat for sale on eBay, but if your concerned about People-Hauling (I bet not) your in the wrong market.
Despite its weight the RR has quite acceptable driving dynamics, passing is NOT a problem with the BMW engine!
Just my two cents.

 

I have a 03, Love it to death! If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

 

i just posted this question few weeks ago as im giving wife surprise bday present replacement for 02 discovery. turbo p is nice but not worth the extra 500$/month lease difference. i think she'll like status/luxury of rr over acceleration of p turbo anyway. picking up her blue with light tan/blue pipping rr in 2 weeks.

 

You're not gonna be blazing down 19th in this thing. Go for the ergonomics, class, quality and feel: RR wins 4/4.

Range. Without question.

 

Norm: So glad you went with that instead of the black/black. I *told* you blue/tan+piping is the hot stuff. What wood?

for service, talk to Doug Campbell at BMC. You can mention me. He's a stand-up guy and their service is the tops.

PS: BMW is really expanding. Aston, Jag, Bentley, Rolls, Lambo, Range. Pretty impressive given their buildings. The second building will give them much-needed space, but I was mipressed at how much they packed into the first one.

 

Norm: will call you tomorrow about the whole thing. Am thinking I might do the same. Needed an excuse, this is a good one.
