I bought this to drive in comfort on the highway and never get stranded offroad. It excells at both. I hit a deer head-on at 65mph and was able to drive 80 miles home with all lights working and no steering problems-a very solid vehicle! Had the bladder leak on one of my suspension bags- replaced it with Gen III air bladders from Arnott and Bilstein shocks-now it's awesome squared! It's just a real pleasure to drive it anywhere. I want the most bang for my buck and I've got it with this. So far, except for more horsepower, the later model styles don't appeal to me as much as the P- 38. Turning radius and maneuverability is amazing. The first day I drove it I parallel parked it in ONE move!

I love the look and image of Land Rovers and Jaguars. The 2001 Range Rover that I purchased has had way too many problems, but it still has an appeal that makes me continue sinking money into to keep it rolling. The styling has a classic appearance that makes it's age irrelevant. I like to fly fish and this vehicle is a perfect match to my bamboo fly rod and Filson vest and waders. Once I reach 200K miles in this vehicle I will likely buy a newer Range Rover and go through the whole love/hate routine again. -------- Several years have gone by and the Range Rover is still on the road. It is a great off road vehicle and has worked well for our personal interest in Fly Fishing and Snow Skiing. We have given it plenty of chances to get stuck, but it seems to be up for any situation. Reliability is a continuous challenge and the gas mileage is poor. We now have 155,000 miles on the odometer and just got it out of the shop for $1,000.00. We hope to get to 200,000 miles. Engine and transmission still doing well. A Range Rover is not for everyone. Sometimes I wonder why I still enjoy driving it. I guess it's because there is nothing else on the road like it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now late 2018 and will provide more feedback. We still have the 2001 Range Rover and it has about 170,000 miles at this point. Within the last year we had repairs totaling about $2,500. It is running reasonably well but has a slew of minor/major irritations. We are still trying to get to 200,000 + miles and if/should we get there this will be our last Land Rover of any kind. Maybe this should be a warning. DO NOT buy a vehicle from this brand unless time and money is no object. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hard to believe we still have this vehicle. We are even considering the purchase of a 2012 Range Rover SC to replace the 2001 RR. After all these years Range Rover still has a unique blend of qualities not found on any other vehicle.

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.
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.
