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.

I know but I still can't part with it

We are into 6 years with this car and have had issues (all handled by warranty and extended warranty) but can't part with it. It has had enough work to seem new still and rides like it. It tows like a truck and during the worst Colorado winter on recent record was the only vehicle to get out of the neighborhood(including Hummers and a Ford f250 4 wheel drive). We have an SRX Caddy awd and an Audi w Quattro. We keep the RR as a second car now, but, when it snows the Range is what my wife insists on having drives. It's quirky but gets the job done when we really need it.

Owned this vehicle one month. Selling dealership was great, vehicle was horrible. Many interior and exterior plastics fell off, loud transmission whine and clunk when upshifting, strange clicking noise from air conditioner, two bolts fell off onto the floor from the steering column (didn't know what they went to!), both door speakers fell off, had to glue them back in place, rear cargo light fell off, rubber door seals sagged letting water in when raining, and many other things I don't have space to write. Vehicle was great on the test drive and the 5 hour drive home. Nothing but problems ever since, traded the vehicle for a Porsche Cayenne and will never regret getting rid of it.
