Traded 2005 LR3 as it was running out of warranty. 2008: prem lthr much nicer although I didn't mind getting the other lthr messy. Piano-black wood...so nice but hard to really see it...so black. Ride is smoother, rock solid, no clunks, flatter in curves, less body roll (likely all due to 'newer'). Much less wind noise, virtually eliminated!!! 550W H-K sounds much better but likely due to less wind and road noise. 1st gear lurch is gone, likely transmission programming improvement. Plenty of power...doesn't need any more...it's no race car. Love this truck. Suggest leasing...resale value stinks...surprise
EXCELLENT FOR A WHILE

I had a fantastic tank, after 140,000, miles the vehicle started to leak, the suspension needed to be repaired, It was a gas guzzler. I felt safe in the vehicle; I was rear ended, it did not effect the car just broken red lights, I was hit on the side by a bus the vehicle kept me safe. I have not had a vehicle that has the same drive and height, that I like. I was tired of paying and needing a separate account for repairs for the vehicle....I do not like the newer models but love the way it drives and the gas saved. The parts are expensive. Repair shops wants to make money off of you all the time. I was in court suing them left to right. Their Land Rover service department is the best, that I miss, no one compares to the service...I miss my Land Rover...There is no vehicle like it...I had room in the front and back seats. I hauled furniture/people. I never felt stuffed in the vehicle, it was a roomy vehicle. Easy to park and find parking for. Great design.

This is absolutely the smoothest car I've ever driven. Its comfort and ride are second to none. The LR3 inspires confidence and its capabilities are far beyond those of its competition. Ours is outfitted with every possible option. We just love it. Some complain about its weight, but that's one of my favorite features. This car is strong and sound, and you can feel it. I highly recommend this car.
It's a European SUV

Up front: European vehicles have different strengths/weaknesses. This is my second LR3, my first being an '06 SE. As The motor and interior are fabulous. The high-revving jag 4.4 is eager to please and the air suspension modes find good positions in both regular and sport modes. Seating height, visibility, and cabin space are delightful. Plastic-y materials on the doors and console make for a cheaper feel but the ergonomics and design easily make up for it. Exterior design has aged well. The LR3 is an easily pleasing vehicle to drive and own, when it doesn't have common issues arising on a regular basis. Mechanically, there are some items to be aware of: chassis and drivetrain components seem to wear quickly as well as a couple of common electrical quirks (Tire pressure sensors finnicky, CD changer issues, rear hatch latch). Any forum search will show the common issues. In both my LR3's I've had to replace some common items that are pretty spendy. Between tires and mechanical repairs I spend about $2500/year in repairs (I get about 3 years out of tires). Granted I've purchased both of them at about 50k miles and all these parts seem to need replacement over the next 50k. I have 115k on my '08 but I still love it.

This is a great vehicle! My wife is the daily driver and I am thankful that she is able to have such a safe and competent vehicle for her and our family. This is our second LR3 and the interior seats are very similar to the Range Rover Sport leather.
