The truth will come out when you try to sell it or trade it in value brings you to reality. These vehicles don't hold their value like a Mercedes or Lexus. Good Luck!!!!!!

More spacious and comfortable than a GX470 Lexus. I was really impressed at the quality and ride of this SUV. I've been a long time Lexus owner and decided to switch after driving this vehicle. It is a dream.

First I had a Chevrolet Tahoe with its plastic interior parts and it didn't make it home before it started having problems and the factory had to buy it back. The Range Rover has it all, looks, quality, luxury and performance. The dealership, Land Rover of Marin is the best I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
Awesome!!!

I couldn't be happier with this vehicle. Everything about it screams excellence and class. The ride and drive is far superior to the previous Range Rover models probably due to the BMW influence. Great leap ahead for Land Rover!

MUCH better than 2002 Mercedes G500. Great ride. Beautiful detailing. But, navigation system horrible compared to Japanese DVD based systems.

I bought this car after having owned 2 of the second generation models, the difference is incrediable to say the least. All areas have been improved to the level of the very best european sedans, i know i have owned both a s class mercedes and seven series bmw.
Too new to fix.

Value for your dollar questionable? Feels more like a $60,000 dollar vehicle.Overall very enjoyable much more fun to drive than previse landrovers. Needs little tweaks here and there hopefully Ford will listen to consumers suggestions? I'll see how I feel after a year of driving? P.S. don't turn off reverse sensor, Wife did $2,500 dollars damage its their for a reason!!!
very nice vehicle

This is a very solid car. After 10000 miles nothing has failed. Average mpg on the road is 18.5 in town 16mpg. This is a very comfortable car to ride in with surprising performance for heavy vehicle.

I've driven Range Rovers for the past seven years (a 1996 4.0 HSE and a 2000 4.6 HSE). This is a very different vehicle! It's smooth ride and quiet interior are the two most dramatic improvements.

This is my third range rover. I can't begin to tell you how superior my new 2003 really is. It seems like a completely different suv. I owned a 1997 a 2001 and now the spectacular 2003. The BMW technoloy is running through out the new suv. It's 4x4 capabilites are like no other. The 2003 gives you style and class. When you need it the acceleration of the BMW designed V-8 will impress you. I tow a 6500lb boat. The Range Rover takes this is stride with its 288 hp engine. I have owned many SUVs and nothing compares.
Drives like an S600

I made a decision between buying a leased S600 sedan (11k miles) (Previously owned both a 1997 Range Rover which I still have & 2 new SL500 convertibles,among others) & the new 2003 Range Rover. After driving each for an extended period of time, I chose the 2003 Range Rover. It subjectively has ALL of the sophisticated electronic control & handling electronics & characteristics, as well as most all of the convenience & luxury features that are found in even the FINEST sedans the world has to offer. Add the off road features, the ability to carry loads effortlessly, the easy mobility thru traffic, the acceleration, & you have a NO BRAINER, imho. Believe it!

I always wanted a Range Rover and I am glad I waited for the new model. It is much more beautiful and modern and also i know that Land rover had many problems with the old Range's but this time they really perfected those problems.

have owned three other range rovers and they were mediocre. actually traded in a range rover with only 17,000 miles on it in the fall of 02 for a new bmw x-5. but when this vehicle came out i drove it and read the reviews. not even close to previous RR's. it has great brakes, great steering, great size. fixed all the "dead" qualities of previous years. kudos to bmw--they have built the best car i have owned to date, never mind the most fun! (well, besides my 911)
If you drive it..you will buy it...!!!

After seeing one of these new Rover designs I quickly buzzed right over to the dealership. I fortunatly got a sales person that was in full knowledge of the new vs. the old. WOW...what a change. Being a past BMW owner it has all the fun things I loved, and many more. This is my 5th full size SUV. Most of which high end. This one takes top honors with me. I tow a 3000 pound boat each weekend, and she tows it like its not there. Breaking...is amazing. Without being in tow she cranks out some speed and handling. The down hill decent is nice feature. I have tried this SUV in as many akward positions as possible. NO Worries. It just wants more.
What a car!

We have owned LRs in the past and this is by far the finest vehicle they have ever made. It is truly increadable. A little large for some, but extremely agile and quick. Extreme comfort and capabilities combined with a increadable design improvements!

Bought this vehicle used from a non-LR dealer with 35k. It seems that many of these vehicles are now coming off lease and are good bargains, and may still be under warranty (like mine) for at least another year. Dealer has been very helpful. Vehicle is smooth, comfortable, and glides up snowy and slippery roads when other vehicles are left spinning their wheels (although the computer takes over and limits your ability to accelerate). I can't say enough good about this vehicle. It is a comfortable, all weather champion.

Your friends will be impressed, your enemies will fear you, your mother will be happy that you ditched that "dangerous" sports car... I purchased this vehicle about two weeks ago and have loved every moment of driving it. It feels solid and looks tough. The interior is top notch and filled to the brim with technological goodness. The gas mileage averages out to about 16 mpg - not bad considering the size of the vehicle. Everyone seems to complain about the NAV system, but I don't think it is all that bad. Once you read the manual, things are pretty easy.
As good as it gets...

If the price tag for this truck is intended to manage your expectations to the highest point, Land Rover has succeeded. I've been a BMW owner for years, and when I saw (and read) about the German engineering that contributed to the re-design of the third- generation Range Rover I was intrigued. The BMW 4.4 liter V8 (tuned to the needs of the more weighty Rover than the 5 series) seems a plenty powerful match-up to the Rover. (Coming from the polar opposite ride, a 1997 M3, I can't be a good judge of handling, acceleration, etc. on comparison.) Actual fuel economy, reset for a 4-hour stretch of interstate with cruise on was 20.6 mpg.

This is the best suv produced today.It is rock of gabralter solid.It glides with grace over NYC potholed streets.There is always enough power and its application is smooth.The interior is among one of the finest ever to grace any auto,it is silent, all the controls are legible, easy to use, and most importantly feel like they were made with great care and quality.The materials are first rate.It blows away the interior of my wifes 2001 mercedes- benz S430.I thought my prevoius 2001 toyota land cruiser(which my son now drives) was the best suv all around, but there is clearly a new benchmark. this suv truly feels worth more than the price of admission.

If you're in the SUV market and are overwhelmed with the current availibility. The 2003 Range Rover is " A SURE THING!". I currently own a 2001 HSE and recently purchased the new 2003. There simply is no comparison. My best friend drives an X5, my other buddy drives the Mercedes.They're all comparable to the 2001 Range Rover. Up against the new 2003, they simply can't compete. The car drives like my friends 740il, handles like my E320, and still performs admirably in off road conditions. Go ahead and test drive your top favorites and then test drive the new 2003 Range Rover. You'll find yourself driving home in one, "It's A SURE THING".

This is the pinnacle of my rover experience. My very first car was a rover sedan. It is unbeleviable how good these vehicles have become. Definetly, the best british vehicle I have ever owned. Fit, finish and comfort are first class. On a recent 5000 mile trip from Chicago through the canadian rockies and back to Chicago the truck performed flawlessley. Fuel mileage has been very acceptable. On one leg of my journey 21.5 MPG highway. I would definetly recommend the new Range Rover to anyone in the market for a SUV in this price range.

The new 2003 Range Rover is the best SUV on the road. I should know, I have an H2 Hummer, Mercedes ML 320, Lexus RX 300 and the Range Rover. The Range Rover is the best one, it has everything standard and it is great in bad weather. Its AWD gives it great Traction and the air suspension is a lot fun to play with. The Navigation system is great. Cons - Fuel economy and no DVD Entertainment.

This RR is head and shoulders above the previous modle. I had a 1994 LWB that I really loved. This one is far advanced from the modle after mine. I do take my RR off road and this on performs very well off road as well as on the road. It finally has good power to weight ratio and is fun to drive. My frind has a Lexus 470. I used to like to take his places, including off road. Now the RR is vastly superior to the Lexus so his is not much fun to take anymore. This is an impressive vehicle.

got rid of my Mercedes ML320, which was totally loaded and had a sticker of $50k when purchased new in 2001. The Ml was nice but was in the shop for a lot of little things that I felt should never have broken. This Range Rover exceeds the ML in all catagories. For style, ride, and shear "show" value. The mercedes is nice but you see them everywhere. When you see a Range Rover , you notice it.

I bought the 2003 Range Rover after owning a 2001 Lexus RX300. I wanted a more "real" 4WD auto and one that not everyone had. The RR is that car! It is a very smooth ride on rode and very dependable off. I love the build quality and the BMW influencfe even though now that Ford owns them.

I have owned the 2003 Range Rover for a bit over 6 months. To date, this has to be the finest vehicle that I have ever owned. It isn't the most expensive, just the finest. The 2003 Range Rover is both responsive and impressively agile (for a large full time four wheel drive vehicle), while maintaining the luxurious aspects of interior comfort that have become a benchmark for all luxury SUV's to attain. I love it! I hope that the current Range Rover designers maintain the spirit under which this vehicle was designed.

I have had my rover for a few months now. I originally looked in this market 2.5 years ago when my lease on my Jeep Cherokee was up. Looked @ X5 and RR. Ended up with a slightly used RR. Liked the fit/finish of the X5, but was turned off when sales guy got spastic when I tried to go over a curb. Was also pleased with my choice then- especially when I sw my neighbor with snow chains on her X5 this winter. The 03 brought the BMW fit/finish to my rugged ride. While doing so, it also cleaned up most of the '00's quirks and gave me a killer engine to boot.
Love my truck!
