Great SUV for the price

I have previously owned a GMC Acadia, went down to a loaded Nissan Rogue to save on gas mileage, BAD DECISION. We just purchased the pre owned LR2 HSE and I am more than pleased. No, it is not as spacious as the Acadia, but drives like a pure luxury car. The gas mileage has been better than expected. In comparison to the price of the loaded Rogue we well overpaid for, this vehicle feels more stable and quiet frankly is worth every penny. I love the safety features and the ride. Land Rover made an affordable alternative for the Middle Class. Always check your options on a nice pre-owned vehicle you love before settling for a new vehicle you hope will grow on you.

I'm rather stunned by some of the lame reviews I've read here. I've driven BMWs, Jaguars, etc., and my LR2 is by far the best vehicle I have owned for the value. If you're not obese you will be o.k. with the armrest. What the heck do people put inside a console anyway?? If your family does not resemble the Brady Bunch, you'll be just fine with cargo space, and with space in general. The SUV is well built, rides smoothly and comes with tons of features for which you'll have to pop extra bucks on RX350s, X3s or X5s, ML 350s or GLK350s. Trust me, it is a beautiful machine that looks no where near what everybody drives. My SUV is fully loaded and I paid less than $28,000.

I've had it for 2 months and love this suv. It was a loaner car w/1200 miles so I got it very cheap, just under $26K. Great size, smooth quiet ride. Mileage isn't what I'd like, about 15 local, close to 25 hwy. Not as good as my Jetta, but better than my Tahoe.
better postioned than the Freelander

Having previously owned an Lr3 and Freelander, the Lr2 sits comfortably as the entry Land Rover. Off road/Snow capabilities are very strong, and extended driving stretches of 8 plus hours with a family of four are certainly comfortable. Great driver visibility all around. Sun roof in front/moon roof in back make the cabin feel airy and spacious. Armrests are comfortable enough, but lack the plushness of the Lr3. Adequate storage space in back, good sound system, great warranty. Would recommend for those looking for a compact SUV with better than average snow/off road capabilities.

I've had this vehicle since May of 2011. Loved it until August of 2015 when electronic problems started. 1st the fuel gauge/range display would fluctuate from accurate to immediately dropping to E/0 miles of range, then go back and forth. When check engine light came on, time to get service. Only dealer could do the work and at about $3000. Two months later, seat belt and airbag warning light come on, back to dealer. Diagnosis: faulty sensor in seat, seat needs to be replaced at cost of $1600. Totally unacceptable, I'm looking to sell and get something more reliable.

The LR2 was my first choice because of the styling taken from it's big brother, the Range Rover sport. Thank goodness I rented before I took the plunge (I backed out). The LR2 is under powered and presents a problem when passing on the highway. The body roll is significant, and if you had to swerve to miss and object in the road , it could get dicey. The off-road capability is robust and it does about 90% of what it's larger counter-part can do, so, no complaints there. The seats are small, and hard as a board. The seating position is high and upright. The interior is small, without much cargo space. So forget bringing your buddies and their gear on an outing. The interior is pretty basic.
Great Off-Roader

I love my Land Rover. I have heard stories of the maintenance costs and suspension having issues but mine has 125,000 miles now and I haven't repaired anything other than your standard use items (brakes/rotors, tires). The ride is not luxurious but let's be real, a Land Rover is made to go off road. If you want a nice highway car don't get a Land Rover. On the other hand, my Land Rover eats 8" snow fall for breakfast and says "Thank you, may I have another".

I have had my LR2 for a few days now and drove it from New Jersey to Florida and me and my wife are very happy. I have owned 8 cars in the past 10 years and this one is nice! I bought the car with 2000 miles on it and put about 1000 on it during our drive down. Don't listen to all the BS people put on here about how bad it is. Go Google the number one reliable car "Honda accord" and add problems into the search and you will see bad stuff. All cars have problems. The Landrover line of cars are nice and built solid. All newer cars have electrical issues and if you don't like it then purchase an antique car.

This my first car I bought after completing school -- It has great off road capabilities, drives amazing on the free way -- The costs I have incurred are regular maintenance like oil change, air filter changes and coolant change. This maybe smaller SUV than other land rovers -- but it has all terrain modes that expensive models offer. The only con I can think of is that even though it has Bluetooth - it does not allow to play music from your phone, it can only be used for making calls.

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.

I live in Western Australia and our CRD LR2 has just come back from 2000 miles in the outback towing a two ton caravan! This vehicle is just awesome and towed brilliantly along with going truely off road through deep soft sand, over rocks and never missed a beat. Aside from a small steering rack issue that was fixed when it was a few weeks old the car has been perfect and my wife went from sceptic to Landrover fan!

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.

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
DO NOT BUY

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!!!!

This is a fun car to drive and is amazingly capable. It is truly a 4X4 and is not just a car with an all wheel drive attached. It handles like a sports car around town and a jeep off road. I have been driving 4X4s at work for near 35 years and can't believe how this rig takes all the drama out of muddy roads. This is a real 4X4 and Land Rover stuffed in about every technical option available somewhere into this high quality rig. No problems so far.

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.

The LR2 is the best choice in it's class period! The stylish and rugged look is what the land rover is about. The interior works for this vehicle and is easy to control. There is more then enough room in the back and excellent head room compared to any of the other vehicles that we looked at. It's a land rover, its unique and it's should be on your list of SUV's.

Great car until you you need to buy parts. A cracked windshield 3 month back order. Front bumper 6 weeks minimum. Accesories out of sight. 1600 for a tow package, 1000 for roof racks. Already had a fuel pump leak 2 months after buying it. It cost 41,700 I tried to trade it 3 months later and the best i could do is 30,000 and that was at the dealer I bought it from, Before it had a scratch on it. So much for resale value. Drives great good gas milage for an AWD great stereo but will never buy another Landrover at any price
Very Nice for the price

IT is a very nice car if you are looking for smaller SUV. there are lots of competition from Medz, Lex, BMW, Volvo, Acura ect. But the price is very fair for what you get. It is more like a truck than the other car- based. But still rides nice. Eventhough it is the lowest end Land Rover, it has the look and feel of the more e xpensive one, like the Sport.

My new LR2 has 230 miles on it.I knew the day after I purchased it that it was ergonomically all wrong for me. The arm rest is very thin and cuts the circulation no matter what height or arm position. If you put the arm rest up there is no where to put your arm. What is worse is that in the up position, the metal adjustment screw, (about 2" x 3")sits inches from the right temple area of your head. Scary. The seat positions are limited, inability to angle front of drivers seat cuts leg circulation. It rattles alot and "ka-thunks" in several areas, over every little bump. I sure hope it has good off road ability to make up for the lack of comfort and road noise.
I love my car!

I recently purchase a 2009 LR2. I was impressed at what the car was able to do off road. I also understand that the same characteristics that make it a superior off road vehicle will relate to on road performance and safety. The LR2 has power leather seats, two sunroofs and a very nice sound system. It was a wonderful buying experience.

I have a 2009 LR2. I was initially hesitant to buy it because I have owned a County and an older defender in the past. The County was an absolute BEAST. I used to jokingly say, it could easily win a tractor pull. Provided it didn't break down on the way to the tractor pull. Mechanically it was good. Electrically, it was an unmitigated disaster. Gas guzzling, (if you need to ask, you can't afford it) plush leather and loaded with features tank, for it's time. So, the good; power, gobs and gobs of power and torque. Comfortable and spacious. I could stuff it with my climbing gear and 2 other guys climbing gear. The defender. Oh the the "so ugly and simple it's beautiful, defender." I had virtually no issues whatsoever with my older defender. It was an early 80s. Electrically, well, it was wired like a flashlight, so it didn't have any electrical problems whatsoever when I owned it. There's just nothing to them to go wrong. Mechanically, also fantastic. Simple, reliable diesel that has virtually no issues. The bad, there's just nothing to them. I mean, NOTHING. it has power steering! Thank the gods for that. But that was the only comfort amenity it had. The "air conditioning" was 2 flaps you could open under the wind shield. The heat was ok, but not quite enough. On the road, calling it anemic at best is a glowing recommendation. It struggled to keep up with regular traffic speeds. Heh, I get it, not what's it's DNA was intended to do. I had a suspension lift and 33"s on it, which didn't help it's on road performance at all. It was noisy at highway speeds and at times a bit scary in aggressive traffic. Now, the LR2. I've been extraordinarily impressed with this beast from the first time I drove it. I was hesitant to buy given my previous experiences with LR/RR products. Not so with the LR2. I have a mid level 1. It's comfortable, plenty of power for me ( I do understand what people are saying that it struggles at higher speeds on the highway. I love the A post speakers, something which most other luxury brands don't have. The mileage, not so great. I think 16 mpg is somewhat hopeful. Mine gets about 8 mpg. It's thirsty. Yes you can run 89 in it. But the mileage and power are affected. Trade off I suppose? My experience with all LR/RR products regarding off road abilities, is in 1 word. Astounding. I have offroad and rock crawling experience. Admittedly not with rovers. Comparatively speaking however. They never cease to amaze me. The newer ones, very much are still off rosders disguised as mall crawlers. With a standard factory set up, and not very aggressive tires, my LR2 is an absolute billy goat. I recently was driving it thru @ 1" of snow on unplowed roads in the first special program position. It had NO TROUBLE getting me around. The bad. This might be just me but the fob and the locks DRIVE ME CRAZY. the fob works fine, usually. I do on occasion have to disassemble the darn thing in parking lots to kind of push the battery around, and then it will work. Maybe that's just me? I understand other people saying it's anemic at higher speeds on the roads. I don't really speed, I am a very patient and careful driver, so I don't mind. Last couple things I promise. I love it so much I am in the process of looking around the country for another one with lower mileage on it because I wanna keep it for a while. I LOVE the 3.2 liter and how it "growls". It doesn't roar like a supercharged Benz, but it has a badass growl and I love it. I have something of an inside track with access to luxury vehicles. I get to drive many. I have even driven the newer range rovers in the snow and mud. Again, astounding! Despite being a mall crawlers, it handled mud and snow with the greatest of easy that many other brands could not. That's been the 1 consistent underlying theme of all their products in my op. They are more than capable offroad for 95% of us. Please please please. Don't ever change that Land Rover! Oh, 1 last thing. I can't scroll back up to insert this point where it belongs. My inside track knowledge has informed me that many of these motors are actually made by volvo. Which could explain the reliability I have with mine. Also in the bad. I cannot emphasize enough, the need for REGULAR maintenance. They all burn oil. Whether brand new or not. I guess it's a trade off for more power with a smaller engine? IDK? I can't wait to buy another one. I hope I can find another 3.2 liter and not be "stuck with" buying a 2.0.
