Best Suv Out There — Great SUV, sitting high, love the theater seating, huge trunk space to carry goods. Powerful engine, snow handling capability parallel to none. Going anywhere with ease. Poor fuel economy, slow acceleration, reliability on electronics. Tires do not last long. High maintenance costs. But still love it. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Off road capability, huge trunk space, small turning circle Cons: Less reliable (mostly electronics), poor fuel economy but expected |

Great Family Car But Very Expensive To Maintain — First of all the most fuel thirsty car in the world. second everything breaks and its very expensive to maintain. the engine is fantastic and very responsive. the acceleration is good too but the handling is obviously awful. it does have a lot of space though especially with the third row seating. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: engine is great Cons: always breaks down, and fuel consumption |

Though A Beautiful Vehicle, The Constant Breaking Down And Everything, Just Stay Away — Nice big truck, beautiful lines, comfortable interior, plenty of space for up-to-7 adults. It had a 4.4L Jaguar Engine that produced 300Hp. Gas mileage was horrible at about 17mpg combined city and highway. Build quality was horrible, service department at local Land Rover dealership just as horrible. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: There are none Cons: Stay Away, do not buy |

A Brilliant Suv — The LR3 has tons of space and comfort, but still drives well and feels better built than any other SUV. Gas mileage is mediocre, but otherwise it's very good. It isn't fun to drive, but it feels good to drive. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Solid, safe, roomy Cons: none |

Love The Disco 3 - Lr3 — Most capable SUV by far. Have had some good times off-road with my family and the LR3 just glides over terrain effortlessly... so much so that my 2 year old is snoozing blissfully unaware that we're crossing some serious gravel and mud-ruts. On road, it's solid and smooth. 160 kph is super smooth. Space is fantatic... seats 7 with comfort. The V8 has enough muscle to take this beast anywhere. Love the LR#. Wonder what can lanRover do to improve it any further? It's so perfect already!! Pros: Size, Space, Power, Terrain response system Cons: Love it all. |

Lr3 — I initially did not want an SUV, but it was my mom's choice. It looks fine...I drove one in Summer 06, and it drove fine around town. We bought one, V8 SE this past July, and having some seat time in it reminds me why I don't care much for SUV's. For what it is, acceleration is adequate, and given its handling it is not too underwhelming. It cruises along at 2000 rpm at 75, which helps fuel economy on the highway (best I saw was 20.4), however city fuel econ suffers (14 was worst I've seen). The control interface for the AC is confusing, for I cannot seem to shut off the AC without turning off all air circulation. The audio system, however, is AMAZING, simply put. The Harmon/Kardon with 6-disc changer is among the best systems I've heard, especially in a base-model. Handling around town is fine, corners ok, and has nicely weighted steering and an amazing turning radius. However, at the limit, the high seating position makes it feel tippy going around corners, and don't even think about using the manual shifter to power your way through a turn. It won't feel good. Build quality is solid, doors shut with a nice solid thud, and no quivers or torsional shake/creaking/rattling on unsettled pavement. Reliability thus far has been fine, no abnormal problems with it. Materials seem fine, however for the price I would expect a little more snazz in its overall appearance. Complaining about gas would be overkill, given the over-inflated prices, however $68 got us from LA area to Vegas just fine...not bad in light of $4.00 gas. Overall, not bad in the world of SUV's...it doesn't attract too much attention, yet is a comfortable and capable vehicle. The tailgate styling takes some serious getting used to, but the rest of the truck is quite attractive and tough looking, but still cleans up well. Definitely up there with the Land Cruiser as far as not being the status quo, but a nice, roomy, powerful ride. Pros: ride quality, highway fuel economy, room, build quality inside and out, base stereo Cons: city fuel economy, confusing climate controls, at-the-limit handling |

Very Happy. By Tommy
I love most everything about it, the 3rd row seating is not as nice as my Tahoe was but it's a beautiful vehicle over all. The maintenance is costly but expected and I'm sure eventual repairs will be ... Read More
