LR3 beats my 2003 X5

I turned in my X5 for a new LR3 SE w/ NAvigation in December. This vehicle, in comparison, has a lot more to offer than my BMW did. The ride quality as well as the build quality have been exceptional - Land Rover, as a company, has definitely turned itself around. I have taken the vehicle to mountains in blistering snow and was surprised how well it rode, without ever being worried that I am going to get stuck. I have gotten stuck with my BMW X5 various times up in Mammoth
Great Vehicle when it works

We love the car when it works, great to drive, excellent interior room and function. However, we've had 4 major problems in the last 9 months along with a few minor ones.

I bought this 05' model in 07' with about 19000 miles. It now has about 65,000 and I have to say overall I have been very fortunate. I've heard lots of things about reliability and to be honest and here my experience, tranny is starting to jerk a little when I slow down and speed up so I'm a little concerned but I bought the 6 year 75,000 mile warranty so we'll see whats up. I had to get the rear tailgate fixed...NOT CHEAP..latch broke and would not open. Also sunroof leaks out of overhead dome light... not covered under warranty. BUT this thing rides like its on a cloud, and handles anything off road and looks are timeless. Overall I think I got one of the decent rovers and keeping it.
Better than ever?

Just got back from the Debut Night at the local Land Rover Dealership. The build quality seems incredible. The "Door Test" (see how sturdy the car is made based upon the sound made when the door is slammed shut) passed with fly colors. The car is so sturdy, it is so quiet and the materials seem to be top notch. I felt so safe in that car, even when the 300 HP kicked in, 80 mph in that car needs no hesitation. All the important buttons of AC/Heat,Radio, NAV, and other functions were within reach from driver seat, plenty of cup holders (I counted 10).Room of a minivan, capability of more than any other SUV, and I would not hesitate to trade my Discovery in for one of these! Yeah its that good!
A million miles away from the Discovery

To start with, I cannot express enough what a thrilling vehicle the fantastic new LR3 is. The old Discovery, of which I've had three, is positively prehistoric, by comparison. Without going into technical detail I can say that the ride, handling, dynamic looks and attention to detail are all first rate. In fact, I also test drove the Range Rover and preferred the LR3 hands down. The designers and engineers deserve the highest accolades for bringing the LR3 to market.
