How Reliable/unreliable Are Land Rover And Range Rovers
I do wonder about all these people who bang on about the LandCruiser. Have you driven one? Have you thought about how come Land Rovers and Range Rovers are all over the place and yet a LandCruiser is a relatively rare site anywhere on the UK roads? Sure, they aren't bad vehicles and they do tend to be reliable, although perhaps not up there at the level some people think. But the overwhelming majority of people with 拢65k to spend on a 4x4 don't end up buying a LandCruiser. The European 4x4 is popular in Europe, whilst the SE Asian one is popular in SE Asia. Apparently, bears st in the woods too. I'm still on my first Defender, TD5 90, on 178k miles. In my experience the "unreliable" tag comes from people who want a British version of an X5, then forget that for every 拢 BMW have spent on cup holders, LR have spent the same on cross-country capability and sheer strength. The fact that most aspiring owners place more value in cup holders, air conditioning and electric seats, and thus won't ever see where LR have spent money nor where the vehicle's true capability lies isn't Land Rover's fault. It's like buying a Chinook then saying it isn't as comfortable or as fast as Concorde.

Which really did make the Range Rover Sport complete? It was punchy, very refined, had a charismatic engine note and offered huge reserves of pulling power. Unlike the V6, it didn't short-change the driver, which is important in this exalted sector of vehicle. Trim lines included SE, HSE and the top-line Supercharged. The latter was launched in very special Supercharged First Edition guise. This is the most valuable - it had special alloys, dark wood, and again was a very clever piece of marketing. There was a time when they were fetching 7,000 over list. Today, the 'Vesuvius Orange' paint, which the firm strictly limited in production, remains rare, and commands decent secondhand prices. The difference is not significantly greater, but when given the choice, car buyers of earlier used examples will favour the First Edition. The most notable options are a factory fitted sunroof, rear DVD system playing though headrest mounted monitors and privacy glass (dark tinted windows). Other nice to have options include a small drinks fridge mounted in the centre console glove box. It's a good surprise and delightful feature.
