Major quality issues

Lots of fun to drive, but too many quality issues--I would never buy a Land Rover again. Have had a major repair at every servicing. Took to 52,500 service (the service right afer the warranty expires) and car had blown a head gasket. Apparently, a very common problem with this engine. Watch out, Land Rover service staff will not notify you if they see signs that your head gasket is shot while your car is under warranty). The 2003 has a stronger engine, but if you have a 2002 or earlier, buy the extended warranty if you plan on keeping your car past the warranty period.

I am a Rover Guy

What can I say? I love this car with my whole heart. It was my dream to get a Rover and now I have it. This is not an SUV for those who really want a car. This is a go anywhere stout machine. It is a truck that rides well for a truck, but it is still a go anywhere piece. Only get this car if you have done your homework and know that this is what you want. I went in eyes open and love even the things that some will complain about.

An Honest Review

The honest truth is this vehicle will handle nearly anything you can throw at it with confidence and style. It may not be the best at any one thing, but it can, however, do almost anything from hauling kids, to cruising the highway, to trudging through snow and mud, to finding the most remote area of a forest, very well. The 4WD is uncompromising. The road manners are firm and in control. The brakes are intelligent and unrelenting. It will tow boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, anything, comfortably behind you. If you live an adventurous lifestyle, this is a great vehicle with some quirks or shortcomings that you might expect from a multi-purpose vehicle.

Awesome truck! A little less luxurious than most other trucks in this category. This is my second one and I am ready for my third. Fun to drive and roomy enough for a home owner. Everything seems to just fit into the cargo space.

Handles like a dream, I have back problems and this unit is very good to my poor back...very hard to beat. this unit is not too big and not too small. contrary to other comments the location of the controls for the seats is just fine.
