Buy or hire the Range Rover Sport if...

Buy or hire the S-Class Saloon Long if...
Mercedes' flagship saloon in long-wheelbase form, the standard car for UK chauffeur firms rather than self-drive hire. The extended wheelbase adds rear legroom rather than luggage space, which stays much the same as the standard car.
