How has your new Range Rover sport been holding up? Any issues? I have been thinking about replacing my VW Touareq V8 for a new full size Range Rover now for a while.

Panamera Turbo with winter wheel/tire package.

Had to take my daughter from Cincinnati to Boston through a blizzard. Was a dream in all that snow. Only car that passed us on inches of hard pack (we were going 65-70 mph) was an older Jeep Cherokee on maybe Blizzaks going 90!!! I tucked in behind him at an 1/8 mile trail and watched for him to get sideways as my bird dog.

Fabulous setup.

Lol. In reality we get about a weeks worth of snow a year. When it snows, it time to take the GT car out for a gingerly spin.

We just got a RRS diesel (3000 miles so far) and are very happy with it. The only issue we've had is one of the side mirrors doesn't always fully return to position after getting out of reverse (it dips them automatically). We'll have them take a look at it when we get the first oil change.

I have a TT on order and currently plan to drive that on snow tires most of the time though. The ability to enjoy it in the milder parts of the winter is part of what drove me towards a turbo.

I live just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. My daily/winter driver is a leased Ford Taurus SHO. Big, carries all my stuff, AWD, winter tires for December through March. It's relatively cheap, so I can spend money on Porsches and track days. Plus, it looks like an unmarked State police car, so when people see me in their mirrors they have a tendency to move over.
