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!
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.

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!
So Far So Very Good

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).
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.
