I've only been averaging marginally better than that this summer. About 17.5. I think my foot has been a little heavier lately.

Range Rover sport?

Yeah - my friend asked that I not disclose what the lease terms would be but we are talking roughly what a loaded 3 series wagon or 340 might go for (for a car that stickers in the high 70s). Normally, yes, Land Rover leases are terrible. So it's almost worth doing just for the hell of trying something I wouldn't normally try. Still, id probably prefer something like an a6 3.0 or e400 wagon but those would be way more in this case. (Or any SRT engined fca product Regarding the 15mpg observed in that C&D test, it looks like that example was very loaded (based on msrp). My guess is that it included the 2 speed transfer case (extra duty package). Also included the 3rd row. So it was heavier than how most of the v6 models are equipped. Most tests seem to put them at around 17-19 combined In terms of interior space, it actually looks like the f-pace is slightly more roomy (other than width). I guess the lower roofline of the fpace makes it feel much smaller. And yes, the v6 engine is the same one as is the nav system. If I could get an fpace for the same msrp/lease ratio I'd jump all over it. I definitely need to test drive one though. You drove a v6 model? I assume your car guy friend has the v8 version (which is awesome no doubt) Last edited by robg; 09-10-2017 at 02:46 PM. |
