2000 Land Rover Range Rover 4 Dr 4.6 HSE AWD Wagon
Review
Reliable so long as it is maintained. Diesel would be ideal but not available in North America!! Fuel economy for a v8 truck is pretty good at about 18mpg combined and 25mpg hwy. Offroad performance which is a reason for my purchase is phenomenal and this is proven, living in Salmon Arm British Columbia. Overpriced but just buy a year-old unit, then it is a steal!
Favorite Features
Air suspension, conolly leather, power, full-time 4wd and other refinements.
Suggested Improvements
No diesel option for NA, seats not hot enough, stock tires are garbage for a dual-use.
There is a reason it's called a Rover

Review
There is a reason it's called a Rover because it's a dog! Love the styling, but the reliability is horrible, resale value is pretty much zero. The electronics are so far outdated and the interior is still way behind others in the same class. I would never buy one again. We thought our 745li was bad on reliability, but this thing is horrible. Run and run very fast to something else. We traded it in for a loaded Lexus SUV and gosh what a difference! Talk about creature comforts, yet still have towing and off road capabilities. The 745li is going to be dumped for a Lexus soon.
Favorite Features
Gets attention.
Suggested Improvements
Reliability, electronics, handling, consumer confidence.
It's a great car if you have the funds

Review
I bought my truck in November 2000. It was a special edition, in which 25 were made (125 were planned, but 25 only made it out). I love the car, plan on driving it into the ground, however it still is a Range Rover. To begin with Rovers are not well known for their reliability. It isn't the question of whether you have a good one or a bad one, it is more like I have a bad one or a less bad one. So far during my ownership, I have replaced a fair amount, about $10,000 worth of work since new. I also know that since I came out of warranty, I need to put in about $4-5k. I would avoid a Range Rover and go Japanese, unless a Land Rover/Range Rover is a must have
Favorite Features
Electronic air suspension (when it works)
Suggested Improvements
A more reliable design, better materials that hold up better/longer (well, longer than 6 months)

I use my Range Rover--and it really performs. Snow, mud, sand, up hills and down without complaint. Towing is a breeze--very stable frame. Throughout it all, my RR has been outstanding. Excellent driver visibility and superior lighting make it a treat to drive.
Favorite Features
Electronic air suspension.

Review
The best day of owning this vehicle was the day we sold it. And even that was a loss. Vehicle was always breaking down. No heat on driver side. Brake job. Heated seats never worked. Driving around town I would get cramps in my arms from the effort it took to keep this vehicle driving straight. This vehicle was a gem to drive on vacation or long term trips- and the AWD was amazing.
Favorite Features
AWD. Vehicle sits up high could see everything. Split tailgate was wondeful
Suggested Improvements
For the price tag on this vehicle, it should be reliable and run well.
