Fun to drive, very comfortable ride. I have test driven BMW's an Audi but of no match. Shift it to manual and then feel the difference if you want to.

New owner of a 2009 LR3. Put about 1000 miles on in first month. Truck has great features, and while not great on gas, it's not significantly different than its competition. Car works well and has been solid so far. Definitely happy with purchase so far.

Second LR3-Loved the First Also

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

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.

The Best Ever

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.
