Best Range Rover Yet
I have owned a 2005 Range Rover, 2004 Discovery, and a 2004 Lexus 470. The 2006 SC Range Rover is light years ahead of all of them. Superb build quality, excellent handling, and styling like no other.
Emasculated Range Rover
We recently traded our 2003 RR for the new '06 RR. This may have been a mistake. The biggest complaint has been in the drive train. The '03 RR was based on a BMW V8 from the 740 series. It had 286 hp. The car always seemed to have ample power and acceleration, no matter where you were in the RPM curve. The new '06 is based on a Jaguar/Ford V8. The spec sheet says 305 hp. Frankly, I don't think the engine puts out half that much. It feels anemic, has no pull through the gears. When you finally make the transmission kick-down, the gears seem to have the wrong algorithm. Land Rover probably couldn't afford the price of the BMW powerplant now that it is a Ford company. I miss my '03.

Range Rover Review
The range rover is a comfortable vehicle that is quite fun to drive. Also makes quite the statement driving around town.
Great SUV
Traded in our Sleepy Lexus LS430. This car is in a word Great. Always wanted one now I am sorry we waited for so long! Drives great very smooth. Great amenities. Great Color combinations.
Best Luxury SUV
The Range Rover combines great performance, style and capability. Especially the quality of the interior and the sound of the Harman Kardon system are unmatched by any other luxury SUV. Back seat passengers love the heated rear seats in the wintertime. The bluetooth telephone system connected easily with my iPhone and provided good call clarity (people are mostly unaware that I'm speaking with them on the handsfree system). I have found the Range Rover to be surprisingly agile. The cornering ability is impressive for such a large SUV. Driving around town I usually average between 14mpg-15mpg (this is with no highway driving).
Drive Around with Class & Style
The car is BEAUTIFUL!! I can't believe its mine for only 30k. I just stare it at sometimes. Neighbors think I am noveau riche. People everywhere look at you different when you step out of a Rover. Apart from a new Jag or Rolls Royce there is no other feeling of pride & prestige. Yes, it does have a few reliability issues but my friends who have 2009 and newer have 0 problems but paid 75k. The pros outweigh the cons. If you are thinking about buying 1, do it!! You live only once. Just don't take it as daily commuter and the drive-thru. Use it on weekends on special occassions
Don't Do It
I finally got it, I thought it was the love of my life-the body-the presents.Its a Ego booster big time. First week leaks. fixed under warranty messed up keys 6months another dealer replaced the keys under warrenty. Problems Problems Problems road side assistance stinks, computer gone bad at 5000 miles not covered under extended warranty battery change $500 more money and sence get it. Never Again
Excellent
This is by far one of the most luxurious suv's i have driven and i have driven from cadillac, chevy, lexus, and porsche which i own also. Very comfortable and has so much space unlike other suv's.
Read before buying
This vehicle is a typical German engineered product. It is luxurious and safe with nice additives but other than that, there is nothing special. The car is pretty much leech on your time and bank account. When you purchase German this is what you get, if you want quality go buy Honda or Toyota. However there is no accuse for the lack of assistance with with making things right. If you purchase this vehicle make sure to have a lawyer because more then likely you will be contacting him with this matter.
Dre's Rover
The perfect vehicle in every way! You cannot buy better. Worth every single penny.
Great Ride
Buying a new one to replace this one!!!

2006 Range Rover HSE, Fantastic!
Just got new range rover hse, blue with sand interior, including the luxury pack, and satellite radio. I was planning on the supercharged model but dealer told us that the hse was smoother and quieter, so we lobbied for the hse. It looks fantastic and accelerates with authority. Interior is luscious with luxo pack, i get so confused with the number of available positions because there are so many! Driving is unbelievable and navigation system is a great addition to the already sophisticated electronics. Love it and worth the investment!
2006 Range Rover
Excellent SUV, if you are looking for the best SUV on the road the Range Rover is it. This is my second Range Rover and it does not disappoint. Compared to the Lexus, and BMW it is the better vehicle and the dealership stands behind the service from delivery to service.
Love/Hate Relationship
I have owned this car for almost 18 years. It is a beautiful car that has an amazing ride. The interior isn’t too wonked up and the ride height and visibility is impressive. Only have 100k miles on it and have taking great care of it. My wife loves driving it. People are always coming up and asking me if I would sell it (Not a chance). Everyone loves the styling of the 2003-2012 models. The new ones look like space ships and are too rounded for my taste (except the Defender). Now for the bad news. Look, Range Rover top end HSEs are very expensive cars that are over engineered. Brakes need more often replacing, air suspension bladders always fail after 50k miles, AC compressor needed to be replaced, transmission pumped failed…you get the picture. All that being said, I continue to fix the car and hope it goes another 50-100k.

2001 740il on a 4x4 Platform
After having BMW purchase back my 2004 and 2005 645s Total Electronic Lemons, I thought I would never have a good BMW again. I have been a BMW driver for years. Then I got into the 2006 RR HSE and I was back in my 2001 740iL. BMW did a great job on the design of this car and the new Jag engine and trani make it just perfect.
