  LR3 - good, but.... - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By mpn1 - November 17 - 7:00 am

  Had several stops to dealership after 2 stalls, rear sensor fail, and 2 engine faults ( one caused by gas cap!) I like the ride, and am trying to really feel comfortable about the purchase, but the reliability issues keep me from getting too attached...

  Its not just the cupholders - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By Arch North - October 30 - 12:36 pm

  We love our LR3 just because its a great car to drive. Its unbelievably smooth on the highway due to the air suspension, and a push of a button raises it for off road driving. The engine barely makes a sound when its idling, and is matched with the transmisson so nicely that you barely feel feel it shift. The sound of the engine under accelleration is symphonic! Weve owned the car for about a year and a half now, and still feel like were going on vacation every time we get into it.

  Love my Landrover - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By LandRover LR3 - October 26 - 1:16 pm

  Overall we couldnt be more pleased with this vehicle. It demands attention. The dvd player they installed is probably my only complaint. We have already brought it in for service..but that has nothing to do with the actual car. We have three little children and they learned how to put the seats up and down quicker than I did. The trunk space is a bit small when the the third row is up...but is still manageable. It is roomy, elegant, and worth every penny. The air conditioning vents are supplied throughout the car...and lots of cup holders. Great for the kids and great for my husband and I when we have a night out together. We will forever be Landrover owners.

  I have had my LR3 since December and absolutely love it. It is quick, quiet and sophisticated. Any friend I let drive, wants one.

  very poor quality & reliability - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By Frustrated LR3 Owner - September 30 - 8:40 am

  I really want to like my LR3. It just wont let me. Ive had the transmission replaced (after it shut down my ABS, stability control, dropped the suspension to where it looked like a low rider), the alternator & battery (after it shut down my vehicle while it was still driving), and had a water leak fixed early on. Now I have water coming in from just about everywhere possible.....great quality

  By texas retired - August 25 - 6:26 pm

  I bought my LR3 new and absolutely love it. I have had almost no issues with my SUV. There were a few warranty items in the beginning but smooth sailing now. It is about to go out of warranty and I am investigating extended warranty just in case. This is my second Land Rover, the last was a 2000 Disc II and I had no issues with it either. I keep hearing about reliability issues with these cars but I have not ever had an issue with the 2 I have owned.

  Nice Crossover - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By Scott Heaton - August 20 - 10:06 pm

  As the previous owner of a Discovery II, I can say this is a much smoother, solid-feeling vehicle. I enjoy the driving experience more every day. Four months into ownership have given no disappointments.

  Love the LR3 - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By LR3 Lover - August 11 - 1:26 pm

  Just to be honest, I am happy with my Fully Loaded LR3 HSE w/ brush bar. Here are some experiences I had with my LR3 right from the start to less than 3,500 miles that I would like to share with you (Listed below): 1) The driver’s side door mirror wouldn’t tilt up or down. 2) In Reverse, both side door mirrors will tilt but will not tilt back to normal positions as like before. 3) Loud noises from upper tailgate when going over any size bumps, and when making turns. 4) Sometimes, it’ll take over a minute for the radio to come on, or after I turned off the radio then on again. 5) Suspension Fault. I’ve never driven the LR3 off-road, or even off- curve (people’s most off-road exp)
