Interesting question, although hard to define the X Factor. If pressed, I'd say it's how darned big, and imposing, the car is. You really couldn't mistake it for anything else (RR Sport, perhaps).

There are a great many things, as we're all agreed.

I’ve got a mission not to live down to the reputation that Range Rover drivers have got themselves in many circles...

It never fails to impress me how much get up and go it has for such a large and heavy motor (S/C). |

Oh.. I love climbing up on to the step and climbing aboard. I love the way folk get out your way and I love being above folks at the lights, filling a whole "parent and child" parking bay and driving over kerbs (or anything really) if required. Unlike the vast majority of owners, I use mine "off road" at least 6-8 times a day - (leaving the house is off road, coming back home is off road again, my driveway is 1mile of farm track, mud holes, broken verge, green lane etc... I love how it doenst care about any of that.

So many x factors, i drive about 1000kms a week, so comfort is very important, the invincibility/ go anywhere feel, the driving over kerbs instead of going in the ' In ' gate or ' exit 'gate ( more times and more places than you would think). The power on the motorway to embarrass lots of surprised looking drivers. the gorgeous interior, the tft display with the 'torchlight' setting on.

Yeah! I don't have the arrogance to use disabled bays (too often anyway ), but parent and child spaces are fair game if you have a RR I think. Normal spaces are just too tight, it's folk hitting my doors that worries me rather than needing a lot of space myself to get in and out, im slim.. 2010 FF 4.4 TDV8 Vogue - Gone

I have had Range Rovers for many years. Find me an alternative that does what an RR does with the same panache. No other manufacturer has ever been able to eclipse the RR, yes they are unreliable, yes they are are a money pit but bloody hell they deliver in spades.
