My 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged was a NIGHTMARE! I only had it about 3-4 months! Bought it on a Saturday night, and it was towed into the dealership on Monday morning. When I would put the car in Reverse, the A/C would blow warm (the dealership had NO idea why, and could never fix it)!! Adjustable air suspension would raise, lower and drop on it's own. Navi screen/radio/CD/Sirius would freeze without any warning. Various warning lamps and messages. Car would not start at least 2-4 times a week. Just dead....and then 15/20 mins later, it would fire right up!

My 2008 Full Size Range Rover HSE was leaps and bounds better, but still in the first 2 months the steering column and seat memory ECU went out (and it took 2 months to get the part). It was bad, because the steering wheel would lower itself to the lowest position....and I had to drive the car with the steering wheel hitting my legs (and it was hard to get out of the car)!!!

I love the looks of Range Rover, the ride quality, the comfort, performance, heritage... but I think it has made my list (along with SAAB) as NEVER AGAIN!!! :-o

Weasel will become famous soon enough
But wait.... Jeremy Clarkson thinks the gods spent a few days in the Range Rover HQ when those were made... Are you telling me I can't believe everything I see on TV?

Interesting (recent) history for Land Rover. That car was a BMW design, back when it owned the Rover group. Then it became a Ford, and they replaced the engine and electrical architechure with Jaguar stuff. Now it's a TaTa. Indian curry, not to my taste.

Recently test drove a 2010 Range Rover Supercharged back to back against a 2011 X5 5.0. IMHO, the X5 blew it away in all performance categories except AC. Now whether that impressive AC in the RR will continue working is another matter altogether.

While the HVAC vents are oddly placed (the center ones sit so low, that they freeze your hands while holding the steering wheel)...the Climate (AC) in my 2008 Full Size RR HSE was really, really great. Both my '07 & '08 AC in my X5s were horrible...really horrible. RR HSE has great AC!!

He may have the patience of Job, but I am not sure about having Job's smarts, if it took him buying three of these vehicles to figure it out.
