Worse vehicle ever

This has been a terrible vehicle. Since owning i have replaced the transmission at 45k, replaced air shock system, and now a new head gasket with only 72,000 miles on it and it has never been off road or out of the garage in the weather. Land Rover and Bear Valley Rover have not stood behind their product. It is a poorly made vehicle. I have owned BMW, Chrysler, Pontiac, Fiat, Oldsmobile, Buick and they were all better than this product. Even the car tag screw holes were drilled off-level so the car tag sits crooked.

Fun in a Range Rover

This SUV is a blast to drive...on or off road. Took it out the weekend I got it and made it clawl through 2 feet of mug and forest (snow too) it never even flinched. drove it back on the highway at 130km per hour, like driving a regular car. city gas milage will shock even the non-enviromentalist, but highway is good for a truck this size. 22.8 mpg

I have always admired the Range Rover from afar, and knew one day that I would have to get one. That day finally came and I must say that I love the Range. I read people reviews and with any product your going to have the good with the bad. The Range Rover is "King of the Hill" hands down. This SUV is in a class all by itself, case in point the next time you take that baby out for a ride count and see how many other Ranges you come across. You don't see them all over the place like the so-called- comparison SUV's BMW X5, Mercedes M- class, Cadiallac Escalade. You can pull up to the light and literally count about 3 BMW's and at least 2 Escalades. The Range reign supreme.

A joy to drive - worth the upkeep

I absolutely enjoy driving this solid truck (body-on-frame) Mark II 4.6 HSE, P38 (“Pegasus” engineering block 38A), Bosh engine from BMW 7, with the solid-axle suspensions that made the RR king of the off-road, now discontinued after this model. Even my Prius driving husband loves being a passenger. I’m a slight 5’4” woman, my visibility is awesome with numerous seat adjustments and massive window space, interior is sporty but luxurious (love the wood), great sound system, I feel in complete control driving Los Angeles freeways especially in the rain, and couldn’t live without the EAS that addressed the roll over issue. Had it totally replaced – no springs. I’m a dog performance enthusiast so going off road into the field with a 4-wheel drive is a pleasure. I lower it for my Labrador to hop in. Love the tailgate feature for unloading gear/stuff and sitting with friends at an event. IMO, the key ingredient is to find a mechanic you trust and enjoy working with. Someone that could rebuild this truck from the ground up. Mine is terrific. I was told to expect to put $2,500/yr into this vehicle. I purchased it just out of warranty with 60K mi? Currently at 132K (I have a home office. My mechanic says I need to get out more and drive it.) Took out an extended warranty which helped. I might be ahead of the game with cost. Did the headliner last year, and recently finally addressed the 3 oil leaks. Ready for family road trips. I look every so often, but can’t find a compromial replacement. The LR4 with third seat would give more AC in the back for my dog, but hard to find with features and I’d be starting all over again with unknown issues. I just love the look and feel of my Rover.

Better than expected reliability.

After buying a used 2000 HSE and putting about 40,000 miles on it, we've been pleasantly surprised by the reliability. In that time, we had the tie-rod ends replaced and the driver's seat heater element replaced. Nothing else has failed and it still drives like new. The Michelin tires are hardly worn (original!). The small details (side mirrors dimmable, etc) are welcome, but it's the solid, unflappable performance on poor traction surfaces that makes it our favorite vehicle.
