Answer 1

Cool, maybe -- but unless you are willing to dip into mom and dad's retirement fund for servicing and repairs you had better pass on this one. For the life of me I'll never understand the appeal of a Land Rover -- they are stupid expensive, poorly built, unreliable, heavy and replacement parts are looney-tunes high. They don't perform any better on or off-road than a bargain basement Jeep Cherokee 4x4 and use twice the fuel to get there.

Yuk.

Answer 2

No, buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Land Rover is an overpriced piece of junk.

Answer 3

I think it is not only stylish it might be a bit much for a first car. I am not inclined to agree with the previous answers in being a piece of junk. Land rovers have had problems in the past so the best place to purchase one if you decided to would be from a land rover dealership with a warranty.

Oh, I am a land rover owner past and current so I know a little more than just the average.

Answer 4

Typical English POS.

They are unreliable, heavy on fuel, expensive to fix, hard to get parts for and are awful to ride in.

Look past them.

Look for something like a Toyota, that is reliable, good on fuel, common and easy to get parts for.

Argh, Land Rovers. YUCK!
