  Absolutley Unreliable - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Ben - November 21 - 11:40 am

  I bought this Land Rover after trading in my 02 Chevy Tahoe. I quickly realized it was a big mistake. The morning after buying it it would not start. This $80,000 cluster of garbage wouldnt start on the second day. Afterwards, there were 15 engine and electrical problems in the car and then the transmission completely broke down. I ended up filing a lemon law suit in January 08 and now I bought a 08 Chevy Tahoe ltz. So far, not a single problem and it is much better in every category than the Land Rover.

  Awesome - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By BDUB - October 30 - 1:00 pm

  Just ended a 3 yr. lease of Lexus GX470. No comparison between that and the my new RR S/C. I was deciding between the RR and the Mercedes GL450. The Rover without question the best looking and driving SUV on the road. BTW, if you can spend the extra bucks, the bigger engine in the S/C is definitely worth the upgrade. Dont know about the legendary reliability issues yet, but Im willing to take my chances.

  Worth Every Penny - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Tom M - May 30 - 1:33 am

  Ive only owned this Range Rover HSE for a few months, but in the time, it has performed beautifully. It truely is like driving a status symbol. The ride is unbelievably smooth, and the ability to lower the car a few inches when in a parking garage or wanting an easier fall out of the car is very well thought out. Off road, there is nothing else I would rather be in. Build quality is good, but I have had some minor glitches with the satellite radio and the built in DVD entertainment system in the rear headrests, but they corrected themselves. Truely an excellent truck.

  Love my Rover! - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Andy - May 4 - 2:00 am

  My wifes GMC Denali was climbing in miles and she expressed interest in a Range Rover. I was a bit worried after all of the negative press I heard. After a test drive and a 4 hour conversation w/ the Sales guy at land Rover Guilford (CT), I was sold! We bought a pre-owned 2008 Range Rover, black on tan and loaded w/ every option. We see around 20 MPG on the highway and handling is excellent. Land Rover Guilford was recently awarded the Pinicle Award and they offered a weekend at Land Rovers Driving School in Vermont for their customers. My wife and I went and were blown away at what a "rover" is capable of. Only a few minor glitches but service has resolved them all.

  Worth the Price - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Dr.Vin - February 4 - 12:46 pm

  Terrific vehicle. Loved my GX470, but the RR HSE is simply another level. Too new to comment on reliability, but so far, its all good. Interior is far nicer than that of any other vehicle in the segment. Cant wait for foul weather to test the Terrain Response System.

  2008 Range Rover best ever - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By jeff brother - May 28 - 9:33 am

  This is the best suv I have ever driven. I have owned several Mercedes and Lexus, nothing compares to my Range Rover. Awesome ride and comfort from the interior. I am hooked for life.

  08 RR HSE - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By HappyHour - October 9 - 9:20 pm

  Truck is awesome. Surprisingly smooth and stable on highway and then effortlessly trudged through a recent 24" snowfall while my neighbors all watched and applauded. Acceleration is pretty good even in the HSE. We did an aftermarket rear seat DVD and is our biggest gripe. If you need one go with the factory system.

  Love My Rovers - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By jshook - September 25 - 12:37 am

  I am on my third HSE (04, 06, 08) and have absolutely loved all of them. Apparently, I am fortunate in that I have never experience any major maintenance issues. My only complaint is the $100+ it takes to fill it, but that goes with the territory. These vehicles are fantastic in all conditions. I live in the midwest and drive about 30,000 miles per year, so I see my share of nasty conditions including blizzards, ice and torrential rain. I never worry if I am in the Range Rover. Keep good tires on the car and it will get you there safely and effortlessly. Regarding interior finish and comfort, it doesnt get better, except on the newer RRs. Buy this vehicle....you wont regret it!

  Great Car - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Donselya - September 2 - 12:40 pm

  Bought a Westminster edition last January. No problems so far. Very fun to drive and definitely a head turner. I also love the ride quality. Quite expensive though.
