Having always wanted a Rover, I'm thrilled with this one. It is among the most beautiful SUVs on the market. Its off-road capabilities can be matched by only an H1, but this is a far more practical vehicle for everyday driving. Despite poor fuel economy, I have no complaints about this vehicle.

Second to none. this car looks and performs better than you could imagine. although the price it is steep, it is worth twice the sticker. i test drove all cars in its class, and none even came close to this one.

We found the car was in the repair shop 1 month after buying it. We became best friends with the head of service sfter that because thats where the car stayed. We had problems with the suspenion to the electric to the valves all major problems that land rover in their own words could not stand behind.

Looking for lux car (S500, 745il, A8) but ended up with 2004 Range Rover with int lux pkg and 20in wheels. This is my 2nd SUV (Still owns a 2000 Landcruiser). Very classy design in and out. Everything feels solid and well made. Ride is good even with 20in wheels. Engine power is adequate for this heavy SUV, but it needs more for steep hill at 80mph+ loaded with passengers. Almost as quiet as the LCriser, but not as smooth. Sounds system is good, depending on the music. Nav is very bad. Turn on the radio/cd and your NAV screen is gone. It needs a dedicated button to go back to vehicle position map. I know most of my way around so I seldom use the NAV.

I purchased my 2004 Range Rover in April and I could not be happier with it. As a car enthusiast, I have had many fine automobiles including the 2002 Toyota Landcruiser which I traded in for the RR. In response to the ill informed "M Waldner, re. Garbage", I would not put all that much consideration into an article written with words that are not in the English language, ie. sfter & suspenion. The Range Rover is an excellent vehicle given it's BMW roots which have provided it with significantly increased reliability and performance. The only drawback I have been able to find is with the navigation system which I would rate as poor.

The Range is smooth and easy to drive despite of its size. It is very comfortable. Owning also a G500 (that I LOVE!) makes driving the Range a very different experience. It's spacious and noiseless. Because I have children I love the fact that there are shoulder seat belts for all the seats including the middle back passenger.

By all means the Rolls Royce of the SUV's. Classic English attention to detail inside and outside of the cabin with the ultimate Bosch (BMW) engine under the hood. Could be a bit more fuel efficient but at these prices, it really shouldn't be the defining issue. It is, quite simply, in a class by itself, and likely to remain so. Well worth the wait!

Luxury Package Range Rover 2004

If you are even halfway considering a luxury sport utilty vehicle, you owe it to yourself to drive this ultimate "Mark III" Range Rover. The craftsmanship of the interior marterials is far superior to those found in premium sedans costing several thousands more. The offroad-ability is merely an added bonus! Others considered: E500 wagon, E500 sedan (2wd)and Audi Allroad. None approached the vault-like construction or opulence of the Range Rover. The only downside is the gas mileage; however, this is greatly offset by the tax advantages of this vehicle.

I live in MN & we're known for harsh winters. As result I've been driving 4x4's for the past 18yrs, Jeep Grand Cherokee mostly, but, my 2003 Range Rover beats the heck out of all of them put together. I've never felt safer or in more control as I do with this vehicle. And off-road - there is NO equal. If you can afford one you'll never regret ownership. I will buy another.

I just wanted to give an update on my 04 RR HSE (bought with 34K in 4/08). So far so good, no problems just regular maintenance (Brakes & Oil changes). I did have the Driveshaft repaired under the Factory recall ($0). I must say they seemed to make alot of strides with the 04 models. I would definitely buy another one.

This is our second Range Rover of the new model, our first was a 2003. Great car, wife loves it with the kids. Be sure to have your dealer install the headrest DVDs, (after narket). A/C is the best I have ever tested. The volume from the fan is incredible, (we live in Arizona). Stabiltiy and power is great. This was a BMW designed and built factory for this model before ford purchased Range Rover. It has all of the look and feel of BMW on the inside, with the ride os my S500 class Mercedes.

A remarkable leap past the previous model. The ride is equal to a BMW 7 or Mercedes S Class. Cabin is sumptuous, functional and fun. The fit and finish are first class, as you would expect from a British car. It may be pricey but it is well worth it.

The ride is smooth and interior is comfortable for long drives which is does often. Great for the dogs with the cage in back which can also be hooked up on the ceiling behind the front seat too not just the back. The only thing that has gone wrong was that on delivery the CD changer is broken. The changer wont eject...but the dealer is fixing the problem. The color choices on the vehicle are great. Wish they kept a light brown metallic for 2004. Almost purchsed the Porshe Cayanne S but a drive in the Range was smoother..not faster...but smoother. Air suspension is better on the Range.

great engine and handeling- it took the Germans to make a decent British car. You can still see the British heritage in some of my complaints in fit and finish. I just turned in a LX 470 with 50k for this car and can't think of a single complaint with that car1

This is a very fine vehicle. I have owned it (new 2003 model) through at least part of all four seasons in MN. Winter performance was great, with the different safety automatic controls, could not get it to slip more than 6 inches on icy streets even when trying. Very pleased that my wife has it for winter commutes. Excellent Peromance on muddy hills. Fun to drive on road, quiet, nimble and powerful. Beautiful inside and out. No service or fit and finish [roblems at all. Do not understand what the complaints on the GPS are.

Bought the car 2003 in june of 2002. We had problems from the start. Replaced engine, resealed all windows and hydrolic problems. The car was found to be a lemon and was replaced by Land Rover. We received a new a new 2004 on Dec. 23 2003. We are now having the same problems as before. The hydrolic system has put the car in the shop for the last week. While the dealership has been acceptable the quality of the SUV has not.

This is my 3rd Range Rover (95 County Classic, 98 4.6 HSE). I traded in my beloved Porsche Boxster because I needed a back seat. I looked at a 911 cab and a Cayenne, but was absolutely blown away by the Range Rover. Now I know why it has garnered such high praise and won so many accolades. The build quality is the best I've ever seen. The performance is surprisingly good, and the cachet is undeniable. This is truly a world class car.

Nice Car. I have two small children and I find it difficult to get them into the back by lifting them into their car seats. I would have liked the option of 3rd row seats which are not available. The cargo area is big but with kids I could use even a larger space.

Had a bmw x-5, so we like the underpinnings of the range rover. this vehicle is impressive in its looks and style. we were very impressed with the closed off road course capability. can't wait to hit the back roads. got the bonatti grey with charcoal, with a rear entertainment system. it is like sitting in a theater. has surround sound. wow! better than my house. actually will find myself watching a movie in the suv, (in the garage!) recommend the vehicle if the price doesnt scare you. the nav does suck however. my acura has the best nav i've seen yet. but who cares about that, unless you can't find your way out your own backyard.

I have owned 4 Land Rovers, two of which have been Range's, and this is by far the best one ever. The exterior design is awesome, and the interior features couldn't be better. If you can afford the high price as compared to other SUV's, I would sincerely consider checking one out. Also, the ride is one hundred percent smoother than the 2002 model- it actually drives as well or better than my wife's Mercedes.

After much research and shopping many top end sedans,SUV's and other cars this RR has been nothing but more of a pleasure to own and drive. Had a LandCruiser and thought it was excellent but this RR really puts everything about it to shame. The BMW engineering is incredible. For almost 5500 pounds it will get up and move. So far so good. Would highly recommend if money is not an issue.

this is the car BMW designed and it drives like one- simply beautiful. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the pre 2002 models - its not only wider, taller and longer, but has a monocoque body {no frame rails} and fully independent suspension - in fact the only part used from the earlier series is the rear tail gate Land Rover logo disk. All the attention to detail from the cup holders, to the ignition key placement are perfect. It is fast, too, the BMW 545 V-8 engine has the power to move this truck, and make some good BMW noise while doing it. I own two of these 2003 vehicles and they are the best. Trust me on this.

After about a year, I've notice transmission is starting to not shift into second. It gets stuck and will not shift. It is getting worse. In addition, the vehicle rises and lowers while sitting at stop signs(I don't think this is normal?). I AM MOST CONCERN ABOUT THE TRANMISSION NOT SHIFTING. RANGE ROVER IS AWARE OF THIS.BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT LIKE HELL TO HAVE THESE DEALERSHIPS ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PROBLEMS. I understand that Range Rover is now going to redisign the transmissions. I guess they added the BMW Transmission with the Range Rover differential system. The problems are starting to happen around 20-30 thousand miles.

Just wanted to drop 0.2 cents about my '04 Rover. Rides nice except that the transmission lurchs into and out of third, shop doesnt know what the deal is. Also when the brake pad sensors go off to tell you that they are worn, well that actually means that you'll need new rotors. If the battery runs out when you leave your lights on, well it wont be able to be jumped by a tow truck slave and youll have to get a new $300 battery and new head gaskets (I guess they just wear out after 65K). You will look very fly driving this ride but make sure you get a dependible back up ride for when its in the shop. And some room on your Credit card for the repairs.
