Great SUV
I don't know what everybody think. For me, this is a good SUV. I tried Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4 Runner, Honda Passport before I decide to buy this SUV. It's strong and very comfortable. If you want a real SUV, Land Rover Discovery II is the one you should pick.
BEWARE
Leased a new one - fully loaded. Had a tire blowout at 300 miles. Which messed up the power steering, unable to drive. Plauged with problems. Brakes every three months, belts breaking. You name it - it was replaced. Each of the sun roofs were replaced three times. It was a money pit! I was glad to see it go! Would NEVER own past warrenty!!!

Go Anywhere
I purchased my go anywhere Rover used from a private party. I have had the typical problems and repairs, but what other vehicle will let you drive in comfort to a nice trailhead, and then once on that trail tweak her in all sorts of ways. There are not too many vehicles out there where you can just get in and drive just about anywhere on the planet. This vehicle will require maintenance as any high end European automobile. So buyer beware! If you are purchasing a used one since they depreciate in value quickly, make sure the vehicle has been properly maintained. I have been in the desert/snow/mud, and it has never left me stranded. I would only replace this with a Defender 110.
Just what I thought
It looks like it could go off road, and it can in comfort. Best pushrod engine I have ever used, good power. The zf transmission might be my favorite. Solid axles not as smooth as independent suspension but much stronger by light years. Brakes could last longer, mileage could be improved(uses high test), the only thing that I hate is the position of the remote gas take switch I hit it every time I go for change.
3 years with Discovery II, & all is well
I test drove this car in March in Chicago during a freezing rain shower. I couldn't make this car break loose. The traction was amazing. The car felt solid, very stable, had more storage room than my 4runner, and with the low center of gravity and the ACE option, seemed less likely to roll over. The aluminum body will not rust either (a big + for here in Chicago). The visibility is excellent. The braking ability is excellent. It's sort of slow with respect to accelleration but, if I wanted a fast car I would have bought a Mustang. Other that a loose connection in the fuse box that affected the fuel pump, the car has been perfect for 3 years and counting.
