I have had my RR for 8 years. I really love the styling and look of the car. When running it's a fantastic car to drive and very comfortable. Problems have been numerous and a typical trip to the dealer is $1000+. Have replaced my air suspension system, car ran hot on me so I replaced the radiator, had to have my head gasket replaced ($9k) from running hot, heater core replaced twice. I typically keep a close eye on it and oil change regularly. It's a joy to drive if you have the $$'s to dish out or find a good cheaper mechanic.

I have had my 1998 Range Rover since new. Problems early-on were numerous, but after changing out the failed air suspension system to a manual one several years ago, this has been a great vehicle to own. It now has just over 100,000 miles 20 years out, and is no longer a daily driver, but gets annual trips totaling 2000 miles or more. New headliner last year, replacement climate control unit this year (now inexpensively available rebuilt). Bottom line, at this point it is truly a classic that retains its iconic looks and great SUV/off-road/snow-performance ability.

Admittedly one of the most refined and capable luxury SUVs made...when it's not in the shop. Most common trouble spot is the air suspension system, which will leave you stranded when it fails. The complex electrical system is British...not high in the reliability category. Don't expect much warmth from the heated seats, if they're even working. They're prone to early failure. Make sure that you do not own this vehicle without a warranty as the average trip to the shop is in excess of $1,000, not including a rental car and flatbed.

This has been a terrific SUV for three years. It is a '98 and still gets compliments. The only downside is it doesn't have great acceleration, but then again that's not why you buy a Rover. I've only had to do standard maintanence. Much less troublesome that I was planning on. Would make the same buy decision again.

I am a long time RR owner and have never experienced any problems. Dealerships charge thru the nose for service.. Local mechanics can do the same thing for much cheaper..
