3rd and last Land Rover! For such a stunning car (we had the cool orange, one) what a pile of poo! Bought it new and almost an instant headache. I broke down in SEVEN different states! From NC to CA! Left a LR service center in NM, 6 hrs later I was broke down again in CO! Constant PRICEY services, and with the sporadic dealer locales it can be a bit of travel. Inside, the car is very cheaply "thrown together." After 20k miles you never ride in silence!! With everything rattling inside and wind noise it can turn a grouchy morning into an epileptic fit! If you're looking for a car to look at then look no more! If you actually use and DEPEND on a vehicle for more than an eyegasm steer clear
REAR END ISSUES

PLEASE HAVE THE REAR END CHECKED!!! We bought our car at 90,000 miles and needed to replace the rear end. It is common in these vehicles:( After 3,500 dollars it is fixed and we ended up with 8,000 car at 11,500 + . The interior is falling apart also, sun roof leaks. The car is a LEMON and shame on Land Rover for not doing a recall on the rear end.

I been going all this work but never ends I do not trust this vehicle not even to drive it 2 miles to the nearest grocery store. Will donate it don't want to screw anyone. And will buy me a KIA .

I've always had beaters and when I had a chunk of money I bought it. It wasn't on the list of acceptable cars to buy but fell in love with its style. Now, 120K later and about 7k maintenance I still love this car and would recommend it to anyone and am thinking about buying another one of the same year just because I love the style and shape of it.

The worst car I've ever had

This car is a joke. The battery died after 1 year as did the brakes ($1100 later) I need new tires at a cost of $1200. For the better part of leasing this car I had trouble starting it. I just returned again from the dealership yesterday and it stalled in the parking lot and now a new problem my driver window is no longer working. I really give up. I am putting a sign on this car to advise all never to own a Land Rover.
Had to let it go ...

As I thought, and wrote in my last review, the costs of repairs (parts & labor) finally forced me to put my little rover up for sale. It really was a great vehicle while I had it. but I had to finally make a decision: keep putting money into it or purchase another vehicle. I went with the latter choice.

I loved the looks of the SUV. But the maintenance is terrible. New brakes and Rotors at 22,000? Never before in a vehicle Have I had this happen and then New tires needed at 28,000. I was Told that I got the average life out of brakes and Max out of Tires. I had problems with air noise and with the front end steering from day one. I have traded car for BMW that has showed me a Rover is not the way to GO. Very disappointed in the up-keep of this SUV. Glad to no longer be an owner of this SUV.
i'm smitten!

Still love it. All I have done is change the oil and tires. Average 21 mpg, comfortable and fun to drive. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Would buy another in a minute. Runs great, lots of great features and everthing is wo easy to use.
