Used 2011 Land Rover LR4 Consumer Reviews
Happier than ever
We traded in a 2011 Ford Explorer on the LR4. My wife hated the Explorer we previously had a LR3 and loved it. We only went to the ford for better gas mileage witch did not exist. This vehicle is far better than the LR3. We purchased the LR4 lux package.
LR3 vs LR4
Turned in an 06' LR3 for an 11' LR4. On the outside, the initial look is the usual Jedi mind trick of changing the tail/head lights and a few other cosmetic alterations. However... the first word that comes to mind is smoooooooth. LR3, rough transition from a light, very jerky. LR4, smooth as silk. Improved suspension and ride in the LR4, sharper interior. More power!!! 375 hp.

Buy it... if you love your service mngr
Initially, we loved this vehicle. The look is clean and the drive is far superior to the LR3 series (quieter/tighter). Seats are reasonably comfortable. Some controls for navagation/cameras/dvd are a bit cumbersome but learnable. At about 3800 miles the first service visit was for a check engine light that we were told was a "computer reset" issue. Two days later the light was on again and before we could get a scheduled appointment another "impaired performance" warning light was flashing. 3 WEEKS later the dealership calls to say the backordered injector has been installed. My wife gets in and the service engine light was on before she left the lot. Doesn't bode well for reliability!
Beware
I owned this vehicle for 2 days and 30 miles. Noticed rust on the brake disc (not on the contact area which you expect to rust as soon as water hits it), which prompted me to look underneath. The vehicle was so rusted out it actually looked like it had been sitting in a salt bath. Every piece of metal had pervasive rusting.
