How do you all feel about Land Rover/Range Rover?

xxForgedxx · 09-09-2008, 11:12 PM

I personally are extremely intrigued by there features, heritage and looks. It seems however from the feedback I have received that no matter what model you get they are hopelessly unreliable. How do you feel about what Land Rover has to offer over other SUV's as well as how they hold up all around?

OBI_agent · 09-10-2008, 12:09 AM

Gas guzzler and unreliable....I would suggest a LX570

MMMazing07 · 09-10-2008, 12:09 AM

POS suvs. too much tech. just bling wagons. my parents are having so many problem with there RR SC. and its only at 20k miles!!!!!

uabimmer · 09-10-2008, 12:14 AM

yeah , heard it was a pig to feed (gasoline) .

I want one so bad though

consolidated · 09-10-2008, 12:16 AM

The only thing worse than RR reliability is their resale value. Steal a lightly used one in the current anti-SUV marketplace. The general design, inside and out, is much more appealing to me than anything from Lexus. I helped a friend buy one recently, new, they sold it to her for under invoice.

xxForgedxx · 09-10-2008, 12:24 AM

I was wondering about LR mainly. They don't seem to be that big of a PITA compared to RR.

Amir87 · 09-10-2008, 12:33 AM

My dad has a 2005 Range Rover HSE, and only problem so far has been front differential going out. Other then that, guzzles gas, and goes through windshield wipers a lot.

Overall, I think the reliability of the car is a hit or miss...

Check out the RR forums...

Hula-Hula · 09-10-2008, 04:32 AM

I don't like them... And at the overly expensive prices I'd rather have a Cayenne or X5/6...

Sorry bub but an X5 or X6 ain't going to do SHIT off0road

Mom has a RR Sport. She loves it. Before that she had an LR3 with no major issues and before that a Discovery III also no issues. Only thing is they do suck on gas. I think she gets about 10 mpg average (mostly stop and go town driving).

M3MIKE · 09-10-2008, 09:26 AM

Stay away! Girlfriend had RR sport for about 10 months. It was in for repairs about 5 times. Only service dealer in our area (Encino) also a nightmare. No customer support. Sold it and took a big hit. Then the guy we sold it to called me about problems and his wife being stranded, tow trucks etc etc etc. All in the great tradition of Ford. Maybe Tata will turn it around.

I know "sis", but that wasnt included in the question, I just stated what I thought about them. Besides who the fuck takes their ?ber expensive brand spankin' new RR offroad? 10%?

Maybe an old land rover but that's about it...

I took a course with the Jeep Wrangler doing all crazy stuff offroad, and that car could probably go further offroad than a RR with 3 flat tires!

If it's offroad you want to do... There's better cars out there:

LR/RR

-- expensive, unreliable, more status than function, and styling looks like a 10-year-old SUV.

Look at the Merc Benz GL450 instead; much better...3 rows of seats (3rd row goes up/down electronically with a push of a button), Navi system, bluetooth, rotating Xenon headlights, dual DVD screens in headrests, HK Logic7 sound, Keyless Go - keyless entry/start, power tailgate, 3-zone a/c, etc. We love our GL450; and believe it or not, it's been very reliable (other than the tires wearing too quickly)! I really think it's the best large SUV on the road today!

White08M3 · 09-10-2008, 09:52 AM

My last car was a Range Rover Sport HSE....thing was a GAS GUZZLER, and on top of it a DOGG....thing was Dangerousely slow...not saying i expect a truck to fly...but im talking stomp on the gas and wait 30 seconds slow...

took it to the dealer a bunch of times about the issue...they said thats hoiw the hse is...

Dumped the thing early sold it to a friends friend...he gave it to his wife

lyndon_h · 09-10-2008, 12:52 PM

They are cool looking but thats all. Its very odd how they can be POS's and still sell. I dont understand.

KonigsTiger · 09-10-2008, 01:02 PM

Suck!

Are outdated in many ways and no longer Brit!

!Xoible · 09-10-2008, 01:15 PM

my cousin had one, lived with it for 5 months and all its problems then he came back to his senses and got a M6.

sensor problems since day 1 3x problems u get with bmw and merc.

car is slow too but i guess pretty good for SUV (it was the supercharged sport one)

akack79 · 09-10-2008, 01:17 PM

Heard they are POS cars, horrible reliability.

Its not just a rumor. Almost every reliability comparison have them as the worst car company (sometimes getting close to having as twice as many problems as the next closest loser).

Its not really fair to blame this on Ford. LR's have had serious issues for a long time. In fact, LRs have more than 2x as many issues as Fords.
