Having had the chance to own one of these cars I can honestly say it was one of the most awesome pieces of automotive machinery ever. Can’t think of a car you’d stick in a corner at 200 km/h and the 10 mins later be driving off road tracks that defeated all the Toyotas that were there (some modded).

Did manage to kill it in 4ft of water on the next off road driving trip – but rest assured it got a lot further than anybody else did before meeting it’s end.

No reliability issues, and yes the radio was a bit crap, but not every car’s perfect.

For all you haters…..own one first before throwing stones from the greenhouse.

CA: would you please begin invoicing The Salesman for the advertisements he posts supporting his employer.

And for a definitive ending; Which of these would you like to be seen in – a Range Rover Sport Supercharged or Kia Sportage?

Mac Says:

Landrover beat both Kia and Hyundai in the overall manufacturer rankings.

Please check facts before typing.
First Hyundai – Kia is the same company, and they are in the top 10 with JD Power, just behind some of the Japanese cars.

The “which car” surveys for Landrover do not make great reading, however, if you actually look at what has been reported and what has occurred in the last few years it is not so easy to be dismissive. Yes, the first freelander was rubbish. Poorly built and highly unreliable with a JD Power rating of 98th out of 100 – beating only a Kia and the Suzuki Vitara. The new Freelander though has not found its way into these surveys and by all reports is a marked improvement over the old one. Likewise the Discovery which has now had the mk3 model out long enough to be in the surveys sits mid field only 0.1% behind the BMW 5 series and above a number of Kia’s and Hyundai. Furthermore, Landrover beat both Kia and Hyundai in the overall manufacturer rankings. Perfect – no. On the improve – definitely and great vehicles to get around in.

I have tried to twice copy and paste the links that prove an argument which totally counters the ‘perfect vehicle’ comment. That was very poor journalsim i have to say..
Instead just look at the definative UK ‘which car’ surveys for the past 5 years.. almost last in every way every time.
Please edit the reveiw immediatly. No member of any motors writers guild would say that…

As I sit in my office, looking out the window right now I see yet another Landrover on the back of a truck making its way into service.
Sometimes when I am really board I like to visit the service centre and listen to the customers tear strips off anyone who makes eye contact with them.
Landrover has more defects per 100 vehicles sold than any other product.
Quite an achievement really……
