  Very solid vehicle. Handles suprisingly well for its size and weight. Exceptionally stable on-road, typical Land Rover off-road capability.

  The ride is smooth and very relaxing, especially on the mountain terrain. The new terrain system is a masterpiece. Its better than the Range Rover.

  05 Tonga green with tan HSE - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By MrMaster - August 10 - 6:16 pm

  Originally wanted a silver HSE, realized availability issues; found a Tonga green due for delivery and not yet spoken for. Im really happy with the color combo we got (tan interior) and actually feel it looks better than the silver, due to the freezer-box shape of the vehicle. Added a brush guard, door guards, and rubber mats.

  Happy LR3 Owner x2 - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By texaslr3man - July 22 - 1:53 am

  I owned my first LR3 for 7 months (7,000 miles) before it was broadsided by a suburban. The car did so well in the crash that I couldnt get the drivers insurance company to total it. The side curtain airbags worked like a champ, and since it will take 3 months to repair it, and I dont want to drive a near totaled car, I bought a 2006 LR3 and plan to sell my old one when it comes back from the body shop. I took a client out last night (CEO of a company), and he couldnt believe how well made the car was. I am thinking of selling my wifes suburban and buying a third onefor her.

  FamilyGuy LR3 driven daily - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By MidwestFamilyGuy - May 20 - 12:00 am

  Wow I am impressed. I purchased the 2005 Land Rover LR3 SE V8 Java Black/Black Leather to replace our 1999 EB Expedition. The LR3 gets used as a daily driver and my family loves it! Striking good looks, plenty of power, soft supportive heated leather seats front and rear, etc.. This was a definite upgrade from our aging EB Expy. Have had zero issues with the LR3 since new and am considering replacing wifes Grand Cherokee Overland with the new Land Rover LR2. I was considering a new Tahoe ,Yukon,Expedition type vehicle but am glad I have something different I dont see everyone else driving around town. The Brits are back thanks to BMW and Ford completely re-working the entire line up.

  My First New Land Rover In 30 Years - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By Kendall - April 22 - 12:36 pm

  I have owned at least 1 Land-Rover since 1974 when I bought a new Series III 88. I vowed never to buy another new L-R as a used LR,RR or Rover sedan was,for me,a better value. The high-tech LR3 changed that. This is the best one yet! At this time, it is even more high-tech than the new RR. The interior retains features from the Range Rover Classic that were so popular in the P5 and P6. The heated windscreen was first seen in the 67 6- cyl L-R 109. Computer integration of engine,drivetrain,suspension, etc. is amazing! EAS bags are now protected from the elements. Navigation system is fantastic compared to 98 RR. WELL WORTH THE NEW STICKER PRICE! Best value of all new RR & LR models!!!

  First Land Rover - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By dave and patti b - March 26 - 6:46 am

  We have a 2003 E Mercedes; the Land Rover rides better. Other considerations: Lexus GX too showy for the beach and surfing .Thought of waiting for the Mercedes 2006 but our E has been in the dealership so often the salespeople don’t even bother me anymore

  Better that my 2003 Range Rover - 2005 Land Rover LR3
  By JBSSChicago - February 17 - 11:40 pm

  I was sad to give up my 2003 Range Rover, which I loved, but I needed the third row. I am shocked to say that I am enjoying the LR3 even more than the RR. Very peppy ride. So well thought out, esp. the seating design. Can easily fit three boosters across in the 2nd row (caused bloody knuckles in the RR) not to mention the HUGE 3rd row. The entire cabin is light filled and airy. The nav. system is definitely an improvement as is the in dash CD changer. So sporty, Im having a blast!
