Design Flaw

Love it! Contrary to some reviews, I like the lumbering feeling in the LR3. Very roomy, very safe. My wife drives my 2 kids around and about, and I am at ease knowing they are in such a solid and safe vehicle. Here is the flaw. After a severe fall rain storm, my wife opened the door of our LR3 and water poured out of the front passenger seat. The dealer told me that leaves clog the soffet for the moon roof drainage system. The H20 has no where to go, so it falls inside the car. She said it is a design flaw for all 3 models. She knew exactly what it was when I called it in. If you garage your LR3, then don't sweat it. If you have a garage that is too low for the LR3. Heads up!

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.

12000 miles of Driving Pleasure

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.
