Range Rover Sport - nicest car to be driven in?

I have a small car (VW Golf) but sometimes get driven around on short and long journeys by a relative in a new Range Rover Sport, which feels so great - superbly comfortable, spoiled experience, high up, lots of nice features and lots of suitably jealous looks from others.

Makes me wonder though, is this the nicest car to be chauffeured in generally? Not having been in one of the other very expensive cars, I kind of thought I might be missing out on something important. :smile:

Sport = Hard suspension, less comfort and less space

Oh, OK. This is driven by my Grandad who is 68 and so doesn't race around corners too much. :smile:
Range Rovers are pretty nice, yes, because you can store loads of shopping in them and they are very pleasurable to ride in - I prefer the front seats to the back, but you can also get custom jobs with rear seats that lift your legs up and give you a more comfortable sitting position that are really tops. Some other cars are very nice to be chauffeured in though - a top of the range Bentley takes some beating for sheer sense of style and classiness.

We're looking for a Series 2 Jaguar / Daimler XJ6 / 12 at the moment.
They are comfy. :biggrin:

You've obviously never been in a Rolls Royce Ghost or a Phantom.

They make the RR Sport feel like a urine stained bus.

LOL and there was me thinking you might be an expert who rides around in them all day. Is your "other car" a Polo?

A canary yellow DBS?! There should be laws stopping such a thing, that's sacrilege.

I've had a ride in them a few times. If i had a Rolls Royce do you think i'd be on TSR at 1am?

Maybe you would be an insomniac billionaire? Still, you've had rides in them, which is cool. Describe!

Looking at the Maybach pictures made me search - found this HD vid of one in Germany, I want to be the woman in this plus chauffeur minus boring b/f....
