TCC’s Bottom Line

If you're looking to make a statement while you shuffle the kids around, it's hard to beat the 2015 Ford Flex.

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport takes the last part of its name very seriously, offering the best driving dynamics yet from the famed off-roading brand.

TCC Likes

Ride and handling are impressive for its size
Even more refined than before
Supple, comfortable seats

Crisp styling blends Range Rover, Evoque
Rorty supercharged V-6, thundering supercharged V-8
Serene, stately cabin

TCC Dislikes

Pricey as a Platinum or Limited
Styling, party of one
Back seats not so easy to reach

Big jump from base to Autobiography
"+2" seating is only for kids, only for very short trips
No hybrid or diesel option--yet
