It's an 2008 bought it in 2015 At that time it only had around 56k miles current miles 102k It's been an nightmare don't trust it at all Replaced ignition coils, crankcase position sensor,spark plugs twice, fuel pressure sensor,so far 3 fuel pumps,ac compressor unit,been having lots of issues with the Sterling wheel lock sensor unit which I removed from underneath the Steering wheel now its under the driver side seat need to bump it every so often with a small hammer to make it work, and all the schedule maintenance, New tires,brakes pads and new rotors, now I'm having issues with the Co2 sensors. 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 .

This has been easily the worst car I have ever owned,! I bought used and it's been nothing but a financial drain. I have only owned the LR2 for 3 months and so far I've spent just over 5k in repairs. We took it to The Land Rover dealership to get the AC fixed and they said they couldn't do it. You know what they could do? They found 4,600 dollars in other non AC related issues. We figured we could find a local mechanic that would charge less so we went to pick it up. Tried to start the car and it wouldn't turn on. Land Rover dealership said they needed another $800 for a new starter. these cars are more work than they are worth and it's extremely hard to find someone willing to work on them. I think people are attracted to the name Land Rover and they shouldn't be. 100% overrated!!!!

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.

Drives like a car,very quiet. Turns on a dime and can tow 3600 pounds with trailer with brakes. A fun luxury SUV

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.
