Maybe that's why it is the most awarded 4WD - ever!

I test drove a new 3.0 MY12 Range Rover Sport six months ago, it felt really cramped inside compared to the D3. Most everything he said about them I would agree with, sure it drove well, but it didn't feel much better and I could not see the value.

A mate of mine bought one new 12 months ago, after driving it for a while he was so disappointed in its trim/feature level that he went back four months later and traded it on a new Luxury spec model.

Had my RRS (MY 12) for a while driven a few km's, never had a problem with the navigation system. What is the problem with it ,have I just been lucky so far ?.

There's nothing wrong with it as such. It works but it lacks the features of many cheaper hand held units and its calculations on trip duration are not accurate etc. It is also out of date - we are using V16 of Whereis maps and they are currently up to v19.

I think in the case of the review, SA may well be worse off than we are with the currency/accuracy of their maps hence him not being able to find the address.

Edit: This post sheds a little light on why we are behind on map versions:

I wonder where / why he rates the FFRR Vogue as superior to the RRS/D4 (whereas he doenst rate the RRS as much better than the D4....assume in terms of on and off road dynamics the L322 FFRR isnt THAT much better is it? Oh, I am assuming, from the age of the video, he is talking L322 (last of the series) not new L405 model RR). I guess the 8 speed auto and the 4.4TDv8 are the key issues and he obviously loves the split tailgate...is there much after this apart from the "image" thats ets the old L322 apart from say a 8 speed auto D4? (and I am actually a big fan of the FFRR - I just cant afford one..yet...)

More ground clearance for similar wheelbase. TDV8 !
