100%. I also hate them, possibly irrationally. The name is definitely part of what forged that hatred.
Jacked up Fiestas with a spare wheel on the back and a moronic name.
Driven only by doddery old morons.

They were originally not intended to be sold here at all, they were actually built for the Asian markets (India primarily iirc). Ford then tweaked them a bit and managed to pass EU regulations with them and here we are.
Quite possibly the worst car Ford has ever built. I sat in a brand new one when they were released and I'll never forget wondering how someone could actually pay money for it.
They make the Juke look like a quality product, that's how bad they are.
When a colleague was promoted to supervisor quite a few years ago, he leased one to celebrate. As above, very possibly the worst modern car I've ever sat in.
Small point, but the UAE and Qatar are different countries (as I have now come to realise too!)Kensington as in London?
I forget there are UAE plated cars all over the place in London...
Usually hypercars though!
Didn't know the cars spoke Arabic!
I jest - but these lot do own Harrods so go figure eh? They probably could. Money is nothing out here. It has no real value to its citizens, its the expats that clamour for it!Don't they just dump them when they fly home, then buy another one the next year?

Well, I work in Chelsea and travel through Kensington every day, and my wife works for Harrods so I'm probably exposed to it more than most

Well the Skoda Kodiaq is clearly aimed at bears so you never know.

Quite often. I know a Grouse shooting loader who was loading for one of a couple of Suadi's shooting when his guy got a phone call and said he had to fly back to Saudi. Asked the loader to drive him to the airport in his range rover. When he got to the airport the guy told the loader to keep the range rover for driving him to the airport.

You'll never guess what was parked down the road from me......a Discovery Sport!!
Tbf it did look like it could monster me in the twists
And as another genuine question....whats the difference between a RR and a RR Sport? The Chelsea-ist of Chelsea tractors.

But what qualifies it as 'sport'?
Does it have more powerful engines, uprated brakes/suspension? Or just it can carry your walking boots or gold clubs more effectively?

It’s for sporty chavs. Know as footballers.
Titanium is a trim level. And, as it's quite an expensive material it's rather fitting for what was the top of the range trim.
None of the above. I think the only thing that might enhance its sporting criteria are a slightly lower COG and shorter wheelbase.
But did he notify the DVLA and transfer the ownership properly?
So long as you have something somewhere to cover the ownership, new person can just apply for the logbook anyway., V5 just shows the keeper, not the owner.
