Great Car, Terrible reliability
I love to drive the car, but I have not had the chance to enjoy it. In the 6 months that I have owned this car, It has been in the shop for 2 1/2 months of it. The service department has been very nice but no one can fix the vehicle.
The best there is
The experience has been fantastic. this is the best built vehicles in the world. i live in Maryland and since I've had my vehicle, I pray for snow.

Still love the lr3
I purchased a 2008 LR3 with 150,000 miles. I looked at about four LR3 and a couple Lr 4. Decided to go with LR3 because I New I would have some service issues that would be costly and hated to spend a fortune up front and turn around and spend another . I looked at car fax and car gurus for about a year. I could not buy a car without looking at it in person. I went on road trip to an area full of LR3 and looked at as many as I could. The one I wanted was in a run down lot , lthe only car in the lot that looked like it could start . It was the lone, shiny black LR3. Drooping down on it’s front leaking shocks. In still had to have it. It was a Saturday, late morning, nobody around , just the proverbial dog barking from inside the locked, trailer home office. Left a few messages. About two hours later, driving away from lot to look at next towns bounty, got a call to set a meeting later that evening. Nice guy, the LR3 looked pretty good in comparison to most I looked at. Had a few issues that the seller said he’d take care of. Decided to fly back when he was done sorting it out and drive home in my new LR3. Four weeks later, “it’s all sorted out” I fly in and get picked up from airport By seller. He’s driving a Ford Escape . We get back to the trailer home office, The cars is getting a new brake caliper installed, it would be a few minutes. Let’s go downtown to the “ my mechanic” The Swede . This is when I got to see the underside of my LR3 in all its glory. I still had to have this LR3. I got them to come down a little in price and I closed the deal.It made the four hour drive home with only a little rumbles. But all in all I was optimistc with my purchase. It is awesome. Cleaned her up real good, played with the ride hieght, up and down, up and down. Then took dad for a ride. We got home and passenger door would not open. No matter what I did, couldn’t get it to unlock., My 85 year old father, walker bound, was trapped in my LR3. I am amazed how such a large person could manuver around so much fragile plastic barbs and nothing broke. He will not ride in my Lr3 to this day. Two weeks later, after taking to service shop, declining the $850 estimate to merely open the door, which I stripped of it’s interior door card and passenger seat for full access, the door just decided to unlock on its own. Ok. Instead of merely opening the door, this boutique car service establishment did take the time to let me know everything possibly wrong with my beautiful LR3 at the hourly rate of $189/ hour. So my $7000 car would now possibly be worth close to $12000. Ok. I am amazed how much service information there is on YouTube for LR3’s. I guess this is due to demand of so many DIY’ers . I lived through keeping a e39 BMW running, now I get to cut my teeth on Land Rover. Even though it’s merely sitting in my car port for the time being, I can start her up. Watch the fire works of strange lights and gyrating tachometer needles doing what they may. It’s a Land Rover and I still love it.

Has not met expectations
Replace our Honda Pilot with this and not sure it was the best move. At times the LR3 is great and a cool car with great features and technology, but the reliability and service has been poor. Also the handling is not good and the fuel mileage is a disaster. We generally enjoy it with the family, but glad we leased because this vehicle unfortunately has caused too many problems. Our Cadillac SRX blows this vehicle away in every regard and every day the short stick gets to drive the LR3.
Worthwile to wait
Waited for the 2007 model so that could get the benefit of a couple years worth of production issues getting resolved. LR also added the lumbar, seat movement without key in ignition and other improvements for 2007. Only 1000 miles on the vehicle, but already in snow and on hwy, both cases proved to be a flawless performance.
