  Waste time going back & forwd to dealer - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Lemon - May 14 - 10:30 pm

  What the....this guys writing about excellent car seems like from marketing department to counter bad feedback AC leak into interior carpet. Gas suspension dead one after another. Gas pump kaput. Radio/Audio need to be reset by dealer for some strange reason this is just some. Going back and forward to dealer ship like i have free time to burn. Thats why the sales never top BMW or Lexus as a new comer finally I settle with Lexus No Headache at all.

  Best over - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Donnie - April 17 - 4:46 pm

  Owned previous model, 2004 before interior update and this one is the best ever. Even the floor mats exude quality. Fit and finish is probably the best Ive seen in a long time. Owned Lexus LX470 and it is just a plastic Toyota upside this vehicle. The constrasting stitching, smooth drivetrain is second to none. Expensive, but worth every penny!

  By iainmc - February 2 - 9:46 pm

  I am very surprised (especially considering my previous experience with a 98 rr hse) that i have not had a single problem with my 2008 rr hse. Its been great.

  Love this thing - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Thomas M - May 7 - 1:10 am

  I absolutely love this thing. It feels very responsive and comfort is second to none. We have put 25,000 miles on this thing since September and have had no problems this far. My previous vehicles were an 08 Cayenne and an 04 Jeep Wrangler. The Rover doesn;t handle as good on the road(its not a porsche) but I feel more at ease knowing I am in one of the best off road vehicles in the market and it is a hell of a lot more comfortable then the Jeep.

  LOVE it! - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By JDH - February 25 - 3:56 pm

  Wow, what an amazing car. I love everything about it! Gas mileage is expected, but we knew that going into the purchase. After coming from an 02 LX470 and handing it down to our daughter, this is a definite improvement. By far the nicest car we have ever purchased. Luxury, yes. But, living in AZ, we have taken it off-roading a few times. Very capable as that was what the car was built for. Its too bad that most of these dont leave the pavement and parking lots, owners dont know what theyre missing. Have yet to experience the "legendary reliability", as we havent had one issue yet other than routine maintenance (purchased 6/08). Even so, it cant be worse than our 750li.

  Horrible Reliability and Service - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Mike - November 19 - 10:00 am

  Dealerships has had it for the last month and a half trying to fix multiple problems. In the last 4 months it hasnt started about 40% of the time Ive had it in my possession. The last two times I have picked it up from the dealership after they have stated they fixed the problems, Ive had problems with in one day. Customer Service at Land Rover North America is horrible and wont return phone calls. They also dont provide a rent car when they keep it for weeks at a time.

  My 2008 Range Rover a Supercharged Lemon - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By rover73 - May 12 - 4:23 pm

  This is a $96,000 LEMON! I bought it new in January 2008 and from day one it has had many issues. The first week we discovered it had a cracked exhaust system that need to be replaced. The drivers ventilated heated/cooled seat was not working and after many attempts it had to be completely replaced. The rear brake light had filled with water after it rained so that had to be replaced. The adaptive head-lights that are supposed to turn as you go around a corner they ended up being "cross eyed" so they replaced the entire passenger side head-light assembly. The memory functions for the seats, radio and steering wheel have never worked properly. Search user rover73 on you tube for my video.

  Love it - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Jay - January 21 - 10:13 pm

  I have had the car for six months. No issues to speak of. car had a bad window seal which was repaired at purchase. Otherwise, no issues. Car is very quiet and fit and finish is ex excellent. Beutiful and roomy interior. Outstanding sound system. kids love DVD in rear seats. Navigation is easy to use. i dont like voice command. often doesnt understand me. Very fun to drive. Wants to go off- road but is Lexus quiet. Only car that I have had (and I have had some nice vehicles) that I truly enjoy as much now as I did when I purchased it. Hopefully, I will continue to have good luck with it.

  Exceeds Expectations - 2008 Land Rover Range Rover
  By C.J. - March 28 - 7:40 am

  Gambled and bought a Rover - and glad I did. Buying experience fantastic. Car is rock-solid - like driving a vault, very BMW-esque. It feels heavy (and makes my larger GMC Yukon seem flimsy in comparison). Thought at first that it was underpowered, but at about 500 miles it loosened up - and the mileage got better too. Suspension sporty but not too rough. Build quality appears to be excellent. Things that at first seemed not to work correctly were actually just a lack of knowledge on my part. Its a complicated machine and it takes some time and effort to understand (but some controls are just bizarre and unintuitive, i.e. radio tuning). Owners manual worth studying closely!
