Own a life sized exterior paper weight!
The truck looks like a dream, but runs like a nightmare. The EAS system is a joke, the engine is as fragile as a crystal glass. I've had to change the head gasket within 2 months of owning the truck, to only have the engine crack while warming it up in the winter time. For an engine to crack while trying to warm it up is a disgrace!
97 4.6 HSE
I really love our Range Rover. It truly is a great vehicle. It fits five people just fine, and handles great on slippery conditions. Thinking about getting another one. You will truly love how this car drives as long as you keep it maintained.
"P" OFF
I have grown to be very disappointed in this vehicle,because its has been a constant struggle to keep the engine light off, air condition continues to not work properly and last but not least I had to have regular shocks installed due the air suspension going out aleast 3 times within the first year of having it. I guess I would say that Land Rover needs to invest more money into their mechanics training, because their truly not get it done correctly. I think I will never invest so much time and money in Range Rover ever again. This was my first and problably the last that I will ever own.
Horribly overpriced with poor cupholders
I wanted a used RR forever, and finally purchased a 96 rover with only 10k miles a year on it. As far as comfort and room there was no comparison, but as far as value forgetaboutit. I have had only minor repairs done since I have purchased and let me tell you $520 +to replace a front headlight.(just the lightmind you).350.00 to reset a sensor for the electronic stabilizing system...glad nothing major has gone wrong, I'd need a second mortgage! This is on top of 12 mpg driving the tank.The final straw...the most ill concieved cupholders in the auto industry. You'd think a $59000 vehichle could hold a cup of Starbucks coffee. Spend your money on a Landcruiser or Lx470.
Beautiful car
The 4.0 and 4.6's are beautiful cars, with a sleek exterior, and an interior quality and style that is unmatched by any other SUV. However, The 4.0's are slightly underpowered, and even the 4.6's cannot match some of the competition. While some have criticized Range Rover for mechanical issues, the 4.0/4.6 series seems to have most issues rectified. These are solid, reliable vehicles.
