We needed a family utilitarian replacement SUV after all the negative safety issues with our Pathfinder. We stumbled across an 07 HSSE with less than 17K on it while looking at an 09. This was our first experience with Land Rover. We tried the Pilot and the Highlander, but then they are everywhere and very dull. This was love at first drive! Quite different than some of the negative comments read before hand. It was smooth on the road and very comfortable, while having tons of room in 3 rows. Better yet its not a "manly man" truck like a Tahoe or similar. And the plastics are fine. Much better than what we were expecting. Yes, gadgets are plenty, but read the manual. It works!
Great all around Vehicle

So far it has been great. I especially enjoy the feeling of security when driving around in the LR3. In addition greatly enjoy the Logic 7 sound system, the simple to use NAV/GPS, the integration of Bluetooth and Voice Command. Voice Command takes a little getting used to and can be a little frustrating at first. When driving I enjoy using command shift. The brakes are amazing for a vehicle of this size and weight. The steering is precise and the ride is very smooth thanks to the air suspension. The flexibility in seating/cargo configuration is amazing. The kids love just about everything about it. Can't hardly wait to take it on a long trip. The more I drive it the more I like it

I just purchased a pre-owned, mint condition 2007 LR 3 V6 , This is my 3rd Land Rover and to be frank the only thing I hate is why I waited so long to buy this SUV!?! I was lucky to find my deep green exterior, beige leather interior beauty! The drive is smooth commanding and fun! Fit and finish is perfect, The vehicle looks so gorgeous and the interior looks expensive. Dont look elsewhere, just drive a Land Rover and see what all this fuss is about, I guarantee you , once you drive one, you will not drive another vehicle! coincidentally the day I bought it snowed and all i did was to activate the terrain response! it drive through ice and snow like knife through butter!
Love this vehicle

I truly agree that this is not the best vehicle on the market for getting kids to and from school and day in day out errands, but when you baalnce that out with weeknd trips to the beach, hiking, mountain biking, and towing a boat there is no better vehicle. I got rid of my first LR3 and bought a smaller fule effecient SUV and after 2 months went back to and LR3. I can't see myself in any other vehicle. During fishing and camping trips I have found myself in a few off road/water situations and have never had an issue even when the passengers doubted it could get to the place we wanted to go. It polishes up well for days in the office, but also loves to get dirty and looks good doing it.

We bought a Range Rover initially and loved it so much we bought the LR3. And it does not disappoint. What a great SUV. Absolutely no complaints. The Range Rover may have a sleeker style but otherwise the LR3 is very comparable.

This is my favorite SUV! Waited to write review in case I had reliability issues that I had read on this site - 9 months/20K KM and nothing so far. Compared to my past Escalade, Denali, Touareg, Jeep GC ltd, and MB 430, my Rover is way more fun, sturdy yet nimble, tows with ease, has more versatile interior space, much quieter cabin, better road view & headlighting, most headroom, and all the luxuries to boot. Not quite as quick as Touareg (V10 mind you!), 5.4L Jeep, or MB430, but shift into sport and it provides more than enough power for the average Joe. Breaking is strong and confident for a vehicle this size. Purchased the LR3 over the Lexus 470 & Audi Q7 - glad I made the right decision!
Love the LR3

Great car if you're buying it for the right reasons and not for a soccer mom/dad car. Might want to look elsewhere for that but if you're looking for an SUV that will support and active outdoors lifestyle or haul around 7 adults with no problem then this is your vehicle. I owned a 2000 Disco which I loved to hate but still decieded to take a chance on the LR3 and so far I am happy I did. Being a LR I did buy the extended warranty to 7yr/100000 and we'll see how it goes. Rear seats fold down completely flat and allow me to put up to 4-5 bikes in the back of the vehicle. I mounted fork mounts in the rear seats and now my bikes stay put.

People and magazines have said LR's aren't reliable, but so far not a single problem. I like this SUV better than any of my past vehicles- Jeep Grand Cherokee, MB ML320, Cadillac SRX, Infiniti QX4. All those trucks had numerous service issues(except Infiniti).
Outstanding Vehicle

Each day of driving I am more pleased with the LR3. I have accrued 4000 miles so far and have enjoyed every one of them. The vehicle is a bit heavy, but has a very smooth & comfortable ride. The 4.4 liter V8 performs well in all normal day to day driving conditions. Some dedicated studying is required to make full use of the stereo & climate interfaces. Though overall, this vehicle gives its driver an incredible sense of poise & stability....rain or shine, but especially rain!

This is one smart, hot, sleek, functional, stylish and rugged baby. That is a disparate set of qualities and as a loyal Land rover driver, I didn't ever expect to have all these attributes in my vehicle. Past Land Rover Discoveries inspired a grudging loyalty among devoted fans. The LR3, well thats altogether different... Unreserved and undiluted satisfaction. I just love it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Outstanding thus far

The vehicle has been a pleasure. Great looking externally and internally, excellent layout and ergonomics, and incredible flexibility from an amazingly comfortable road trip / commute car. Prepared to take the beating of bad roads / potholes / merges....but clearly is just so roomy for moving and hauling people and gear while being right-sized for the city.

We recently went on a family vacation to the US (round trip was about 2200 miles) On the return trip we drove non stop for 17 hours with only four stops for fuel and creature comfort. I continue to be amazed by the LR3's smooth ride and comfort and felt relaxed after 17 hours. The features that were really handy during this trip were the very capable NAV. Voice command and bluetooth were very helpful and allowed me to concentrate on driving. Command shift minimized use of brakes on the highway. The flexibility of the HK sound system was a hit with the kids.

Have gone offroad (snow/rock) as well as 1500mi mountain / freeway drive so put the new LR3 through the paces. Result is a very comfortable, pleased customer. No problems to speak of, just a rattle behind 2 speakers which the dealer fixed.
So far, I'm in love with this truck!

The design couldn't be better, and they realyl thought of all of the little details in this thing. I bought it with 45K miles on it, so I'm hoping that anything that would have gone wrong by now has already done so. The company offers extended warranties as well. Great for road trips- very roomy.
Great Ride Great Value

Despite some initial hesitation, I am glad I went for the LR3 HSE. Overall it is a great vehicle in any driving situations. The comfort and ride is superb even during long trips with kids and luggage. The flexibility of seating arrangements is second to none. The sense of security and off- road capability of the LR 3 place it in a class of its own. My wife and I went to the Land Rover off-road driving school in Montebello Quebec and loved it. LR3 is virtually unstoppable. It is not a SAV, Crossover/sedan on steriods it is a true SUV. If you are looking for sedan like performance..buy a sedan. V8 offers plenty of power under all normal driving conditions including passing and goign up hill.

Everyone expects a lot of vehicle at this price point, $40k - $50K. I had researched and shopped the Toyota Highlander, Buick Enclave, Mazda CX-9 and the Honda Pilot. For the bottom dollar cost - the LR3 had the most standard amenities and safety features by a long shot at this price point. At the upper levels of any of the models I looked at, they all came within a stone's throw of my purchase price. This SUV is extremely secure in all driving conditions. Driving in downtown Chicago, this car handles stop and go traffic with ease. Very strong braking and sufficient acceleration with the V8. Highway driving is whisper quiet - and there's no other SUV that has a better driving position.

i have been enjoying this vehicle ever since i got it. It did well on our trip considering how many ride in it and handles well. If you are looking for a mid size SUV and still want cargo this is the car to get. The 3rd row seat is good to have in case you find yourself carrying more than expected. Of cousre it handles great off road.

I love my vehicle. It runs smooth and no problems what so ever. I don't like the fact I get 15 miles per gallon. One stumbling block I have had is I bought a boat recently and now need a hitch. The dealer quoted me almost $800 for a hitch. If you don't need a hitch and don't care about gas mileage this is the greatest SUV.
Do not buy this car!

I love so many things about this car - but I hate many more. I have lost count of how many times I've taken this car to the dealership to repair malfunctioning lights, seat heaters, etc. (I think it's been 8 so far). The front window molding blew off on the highway 3 months after purchase. In the last two months this car has broken down twice - while we were on vacation both times - and it only has 25,000 miles on it. It is at the shop now, 400 miles from my home. Who knows what is wrong with it. It is very poorly made.
Enjoyable

We really enjoy our Land Rover. We are first time owners and feel the realibility and service is teriffic. Because of the large engine and performance, the gas mileage is disappointing. As well all the offroad gadgets can get in the way. Really, do any of us actually use half of what the Land Rover offers in off- road performance.
Love it

Had a 04 Lincoln Navigator before. Time for something a little smaller. Owned a 1999 Discovery II for 4 years before the Lincoln. The Landrover is just built better. Better quality material. People complain about quality. Never had any problems with my Disco and nothing so far with the LR3. Funny thing my Acura RL was in the shop more than either of these two trucks. This truck is great. Outstanding looks and the dealers rock. Best Ive ever had. Better than my Mercedes, Acura, Lincoln, BMW.

This is the greatest car I have ever owned and I have had it for a few months with no issues. It has great space whenever I need it. It is great to have third row seat that fold into the floor because I dont need it that often.

We sold our 2 year old GMC Denali to get the LR3, and have regretted it every since the first week. We have had nothing but problems, one thing after another and live 3 hours from the dealership. The Land Rover is built like a car 1/4 of the cost. To pay 50+K for our land rover, you should expect more things standard like a navigation system or at least something that tells you which direction you are headed. It seems the LR3 is poorly made and we will not be upgrading to the Range Rover sport as initially intended. I would NEVER recommend one. I am a mother of three and drive very conservative, still after less than 20K miles we are having to replace the brakes and tires. WHY? Cheaply made.
I do not recomend this car

My last 3 cars have been Land Rovers. I like them because they are so big and roomy. I dont ge't claustrophobic in them. So as usual I got a land rover when it was time for a new car. I don't recomend this car one of the worst things with high gas prices is the 15 mpg and premium gas. The first few weeks the engine was smooth and fast but now it is pretty loud and a little bumpy. All the features are a little hard to remember how to use. Folding the second row seats flat is a little bit of a struggle and there is not as much leg room as expected in the back seat. The third row is pretty comfortable but with the third row up there is only a couple inches to put bags. And only 1 of the three sunroofs open
So far so good!!!

I changed from a Discovery II, Tell you all about it later, to the new LR3. I chose V6 because I really don't think I needed the V8. Excellent equipment, beautiful soft ride. Handles just as I thought it would.

Bought our LR3 and we love it. Very versatile seating, makes it easy to have multiple seating combinations, no other vehicle we know of has this capability. The body is well built with solid body panels not a tin can. The frame and suspension components are a superior construction. Very capable off road and just as comfortable on the road. One minute you can drive through trails in the elements the next pull hit pavement like a refined performance vehicle. Great visibliity. Ive had an engine light for a MAF sensor only because in Vermont you can go from 60 degrees to 35 if you drive up over a mountain the changes of climate so quickly trips the MAF. Maintenance has been average no different then any average car. Just never want to bring to a dealer. The interior has plastic but less then Toyota and the fit and finish is clean and tight, on the up side easy to clean. I had a Benz GL 450 which was like a land rocket all the way up to the day it threw a tire rod and the cpu tried to drive for me to prevent a collision and bounced off two Jersey barriers. Air ride had bugs worked out and is leaps and bounds better then Benz. The air bags are covered with aircraft alum. Unlike Benz where the bags are exposed to elements. The rover is not as fast but lets face it with laws that enforce how fast you go the rover is just right. I personally get 21 mpg average with the rover. That's driving following speed limits and not hitting the highway like I'm about to take off. This is a great truck. We have one and I would like one in every color if I could.

I traded my 335 for an LR3 so the dog would have her own area in the back. She’s big and the kids are getting bigger. So everyone fits in their area nicely. Great sound system. Great ride. Great site lines. I’m not big on the 4 or Range Rover. Too slick for my taste. I like the utilitarian feel of the 3. It’s light gray / black. It’s now got over 200,000 miles and feels as strong and smooth as ever.
