I have 2009 LR2 HSE for which I paid $40K. The leather started to crack in the first year. Color of the front grill and side light covers faded and chipped because of sun, the doors cannot be locked with remote key, .I had to replace rear differential and bunch of other stuff (cost me about $10K) which i have not had to do with my 21 year old Toyota 4Runner. Do not buy or recommend this car please.

An authentic off road vehicle

This car is just plain fun to drive. It is great on the highway and very capable off road. I have driven in mud, deep snow and dirt roads. It may look like a Lexus but the LR2 can really go off road. After 6000 miles no problems. Seems to be put together very well.

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!!!!

A great car and great value for your money. So far I had no issues, the car feels well build and I love to drive it. For an SUV you can drive it very sporty (has enough power)without feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. The stereo system (Alpine Dolby Surround)is fantastic, bluetooth connects right away to any of my phones (con: could be louder). Navigation is terrific but the updates are very pricey. The breaks are great (I have the 19" wheels) and the engine sounds awesome, Fuel economy is great on average 14-16 mpg city, 23-26 mpg highway (what do you expect it is an SUV). In summary it is a great all- round vehicle, which puts Land Rover back on the map

I have just bought this vehicle while away on vacation. I drove it home 525 miles and it was a joy. Gas mileage was 24.8 - 25 mpg while doing 75mph. Everything works as described. I purchased vehicle with the technology and the cold climate packages. I must have bought at the right time because I got $10,000 off the sticker which put the price right at $30,800.
