So why the LR4? Visibility and ride height are awesome, engine quite and transmission super smooth, acceleration surprisingly adequate, road noise and ride comfort superior. Visibility was good in XC90 and marginal in Q7. Q7 was nice but 3rd row was horrible and almost too much tech and we didn't care for styling. XC90 had a noisy engine and road noise and marginal 3rd row seat capacity. GLS was too expensive and felt like a boat. Looked at new Q7 and XC90, and Mercedes GLS. If this car had been electric or a hybrid, I'd never, ever sell it!ΔΆ016 LR is in its last model year (purchased landmark edition). Contrary to what I'd heard, the car is very reliable: I replaced the air suspension compressor (under warranty), and a seat heater was improperly installed when we bought it no other major repairs. With 75,000 miles, i'm on 3rd set of brakes (city driving), second set of tires (Continentals came stock, were very good, Pirelli's on it now are great), 250th tank of gas (!). The air suspension is stupendous - just swallows bumps in roads. You don't get much more car with the Range Rover - but you do get less seating and storage (!). ![]() The interior is a little drab by today's standards, but certainly still luxurious. I leased the car for 3 years, and residual was better than the lease, so I bought if for 3 more years. (At 55, it's close to reasonable, at around 25 MPG). The fuel mileage is awful (15 MPG average), especially if you drive above 80 MPH. The electronics, especially the nav system, is dated, and a little slow. It's everything you think it is: very, very comfortable ride (my wife often says she doesn't want to get out of it when we reach our destination), roomy, seats 7, tows a good-sized boat, easy to park in the city, great on long (350 mile) rides, quiet, good sound system, good looking, reliable. ![]()
