We are a household right now with one and another soon-to-be teen driver. I have had a LR3 since 2006. In my mind as a mom it was known as "the mobile command center". With 5 seats in the back I could rescue kids at school from the school bus to become "the Cool Bus". Fast forward to high school. We were in the market for a used car in a house with two teen drivers. My husband looked up my 2006 LR3 in the Kelly Blue book to find out it was worth about $10-12,000. I thought "why are we lookig for a decent used car for under $20K when there was fantastic one sitting right in our driveway?" I had one incident right off the bat with my LR3 with the power steering going out on our first road trip. LR took care of it right away, including the towing. From then on out I had no problems with my car-I loved Land Rover. I came to the conclusion "why doesn't mom get a new car and let the teens drive my old tank of a car? " After building the LR4 online at the medium range with all the features we wanted, I tried out the same package at the Lux model range, only to go up $2000. I really didn't want the Lux for some reason but LOVE it and now have had it for 3 months. Reading the other reviews, I have a few concerns/complaints. The weird whistling noise that to me sounds like it is coming from the stereo system was very prevolent in the first few weeks seems to have disappeared (fingers crossed) because it's annoying. The navigation system is really clunky, this is hands down my biggest question of "what were they thinking?". If you are entering an address you need to start from the bottom of the menu. The keyboard is set-up in alphabetical order which is so counterintuative, who types like that??-NO ONE, LAND ROVER. And who in the world at LR said "yeah, this is great, let's go with it.". As you are typing in letters the keyboard/screen goes dark for a second or so before the next avilable group of letters is availble, which is so slow!! The last time I used it my daughter and I were instructed to get off at an exit, we were now facing a traffic circle. The Nav system was silent for awhile while we drove in circles, then it instructed us to turn right on a street number that was not even on that traffic circle, it was just silent. We were so frustrated that we pulled into a gas staion, turned off the car, restarted it and reentered our destination. In the mean time we pulled out our Iphones to to direct us and it sent us on a totally different and better direction than the LR nav system. We were lucky enough to have been in Europe this summer and staying at a hotel that had gorgeous BMW loner cars. There is no comparing the BMW nav system (which was all in German) to Land Rover's. BMW's was fast and sleek compared to Land Rover-I hate saying that because I really love my Land Rovers!! If we didn't have teen drivers I would still be driving my LR3-I loved it. I LOVE my LR4, I find myself feeling like a newly licsensed 16 year old driver looking for a reason to drive my new car. I am so lucky to drive a car like this and my dealership in Portland, Oregon, Rasmussen Land Rover have taken amazing care of me. They were an enormous part of why I bought a second Land Rover and why I will probably buy a third one day.

Worst car I have ever owned. Most expensive to own with out of pocket expenses ( on a lease), worst dealer support. I had the engine go at 19,000 miles. Left me stranded two hours from my house. Waited for ever for the right tow truck because the dial shifter won’t move if the car is dead. Took them a month to find out the engine was leaking oil onto the alternator. Eco Start worked for the first 5,000 miles than stop working. They fixed it when they fixed the engine and the car would randomly shut off when you stopped for a traffic light for example. They refused to pay for a rent a car until I went to corporate and because I was over 80 miles from my house they payed because it was trip abatement but told me they would of not payed otherwise. Dealer never returned my calls. I had to stalk them to get any updates. They treated me like pond scum. The dealer also told me to drive it the 80 plus miles home with the engine leaking once they fixed the alternator and put in a new battery I refused because they would of never paid for any additional repairs if something else would of happened. Tire light was always on when there was no tire issues. The car had low miles and was never driven off road and had two sets of breaks, two sets of tires, new struts, the parking break system failed because the parking break is in the center counsel under the cup holders and got moisture in it some how. That was 5 k. The dealer only paid for engine all the other items were considered normal wear. Thats after they have had the car for 3 days. I get the breaks and tires but struts on a car with 25,000 miles. Also, the car was sitting in my driveway and all the coolant spilled out of it. no warning, no light on. navigation, dont bother. worthless. usb ports are in the glove box, which if you are driving puts them on the opposite side of the car with no where to put your phone. Sirius Radio would drop out and random points and so would my cell phone I just thought it was a Sirius and a cell phone issue but I actually own a honda now and it never does that in the same areas with the same cell and Sirius. No apple car play , but when you play the music from your cell phone it would not move forward to next song Random interior plastic pieces would fall off. Valet key is like a barbie butter knife and try as you might you can’t ignore the horrible gas mileage. Ride was great. Everytime you turn on the car your heart drops because half the time there is a warning light. Even if it is door open you are still alarmed because you are so used to seeing warning lights on in this car. Also, you have to always think of wear to park it because of the height

Beautiful Inside, Engine is Garbage

We bought a 2016 LR 4 brand new. The inside is quite nice and comfortable. This SUV handles really beautifully. However at almost exactly 6 years, with a little more than 60,000 miles, the timing chain went and evidently it took the engine with it. Dealer wants $20,000 to fix it now after originally telling us it would be $6000. This should not happen to a car that was cared for that was only driven $10,000 miles a year. Of course it's out of warranty. And we are being offered no recourse. Garbage. High end trash.

"This is my second brand new LR4 in the last 3 months. The first had multiple mechanical issues and I was given a replacement. Now my most recent LR4 Lux was also in the shop after less than ONE WEEK! I have now seen suspension issues, transmission issues, fuel pump issues and engine issues all within two brand new 2015 trucks and in a period of three months. I love the design, the features and the ride but I could really just use a car that works."
Love it

4-year update: 187k miles now and it's still great. Does everything really well and haven't had any new issues, but do need do some fluid refreshes. Update: Another year has passed and I still love my LR4. It really is the perfect combination of rugged utility and luxury. There's nothing it lacks. In regards to servicing, I've got a coolant leak brewing and we'll see what that amounts to soon and I'll update again. I'm over 160k miles now and just got new tires. All good! I've waited through 1 year of ownership to write this review. I drove 500 miles to buy my 2015 LR4 HSE because it was a steal. Yes, 150k miles were on it, but a 1-owner, no accident, mint condition example for only $15k? C'mon! No matter what the brand, if a single owner is willing to drive a vehicle to 150k miles, you know it's been a good ride. Well, it has been for me, too! Truth - after the long drive back, I had a leak within the first week, but the part that was replaced was recommended for refresh every 75k miles, so that is acceptable. Was it expensive? Yes. But that's why you go into something knowing what your budget is and at $15k purchase-price, I've got lots of room to spend. Since then, it's been trouble-free and an absolute pleasure to drive, own, look at, talk about, and just sit in. I saw an LR3 at a car show back in 2006 and was in love ever since. But, I decided to own other fun rides along the way, like a Porsche 968 Cabriolet and an Audi A8, and had to be a dad in-between with minivans in the mix, sometimes my primary. I've owned a lot of vehicles. All of this to say, I love my LR4 as much as I thought I would. It's the right amount of everything. Yes, fueling it is not cheap, but use the ever-popular "compare it to Starbucks" math and I'll make my coffee at home and just drive and enjoy. Why is the infotainment picked on? 2015/2016 system is fine. And no one uses car mapping systems. Plenty of physical buttons to accomplish what you need and it's really not complicated to push "radio" or "phone" to listen to music. Also, I'm a sound snob and the Meridian system is a real joy. Oh, and the whistle thing with the AC and acceleration - yes - mine does it too, only when it's scorching hot and the AC is on full blast. So, I just don't turn it up full blast and I don't gun it. Normal weather, no issues. Speaking of gunning it, this is my first supercharged engine and I gotta say, I like it a lot. The power is always there when you need it, but it doesn't beg you to use it, which is good. I wish they hadn't killed the LR4, but I will enjoy mine for as many years as I can - at least, till I can find one of the new Defender's under $20k ;)
