Share your experiences with reliability, service, etc. Would you buy the brand again? Have you ever done any off roading?

I am really digging the LR4:

Generally speaking as a non owner.

Known for horrible reliability.

Who buys an expensive arse car like that then drives it off in the mud? A retard, that's who. Buy a jeep for that dumb shite.

If you have to ask, then you will never know.

2008 new enough? Range rover sport supercharged. Had it a little over a year. Put 20k miles on it bought it with 58k. Awesome truck absolutely zero issues.

But the OT will tell you they suck and are unreliable without any actual evidence. Oh except every neighbor, cousin, friend, had one and "it was always in the shop"

Good friend of mine has one.

When it needs new tires, it's back to a King Ranch he says.

He likes it. It's a fine car but tons of little problems. Plus the high angle of the windshield leaves it getting cracked all time and they are +$1000ish to replace.

I'm a car salesman. So take anything I say with a grain of salt. But I have sold many of them. They are garbage man. Don't buy one.

Well, you can get good deals on ones that aren't that old and don't have that much mileage, so it should tell you something.

I wouldn't buy a Land Rover, X5, etc. unless reliability is at the bottom of your list.

For the guy who said "no actual evidence" he is presumably discounting most ever major car publication which notes LR's shitty reliability.

Pieces of shite. Purchase one if you want to impress the neighbors for a few months, after that your car will be in the shop on the regular.

They have a horrible reputation grounded in cold, hard, fact.

Beautiful interiors, average power, horrendous resale.

You may get lucky as one of the posters here obviously did, but that is equivalent to putting 5 rounds in the cylinder and not shooting yourself.

TATA owns them, but that's not the problem. TATA owns Jaguar and they are excellent. LR didn't get enough of an infusion of Ford engineering and modernization and it shows.

So you are shopping for Bean boots and a Range Rover? You realize you are gay right?

The new Range Rover looks awesome. I'd get one in white if I could.
