| They should all come with a bumper sticker that says: “I’m Insecure so I Drive a Land Rover” |

| I love Land Rovers. I had one about 20 years ago. They’ve not gotten better. Don’t buy one. |

Not if you lease and it’s under warranty. Haven’t had any issues with my 2020. The 2009 was a mess though. Overall, they are fine. Blair drops very quickly. Don’t keep it more than 5 years. Tires are very expensive. |

NP. I also love classic Land Rovers. I would never own one outside UK/Eire though.
In the UK/Eire, any mechanic knows how to repair them and has ready access to parts. Elsewhere, repairs and maintenance are unduly expensive and most mechanics are not familiar with the vehicle. |

| If you have to have one lease one. We've had 2 (Range Rover and Range Rover Sport) and they are the most over complicated and poorly engineered cars made. I don't think we had a 15,000 mile stretch on either of them without an air ride suspension failure which ran $5K to repair out of warranty. "I think we should go back to the Land Cruiser" was possible the greatest thing my wife has ever said to me. |

The Defender is a Land Rover |

The Grenadier has a BMW engine, a ZF transmission, and a Magna chassis. It’s built in a former Mercedes plant. I’d say it’s much better than the Defender. You can take it to any mechanics who know how to fix BMWs. |

| I love the Discovery. I did like the Defender, but I feel like with three models, everyone seems to have one. As everyone else says, though, this would be my I have way too much disposable income car, so I know I could handle the repairs and maintenance. |

Agree that it's a lease-only proposition. OP said they were looking to buy. |

Leasing is the best option but LR’s lease programs are atrocious. Residual costs are stupid low and money factors are crazy high. |

The current Discovery? Or the older Discovery that became the LR3-4 then was redesigned and called Discovery again? Most people seem to think the "new" Discovery was a poor redesign of the original Discovery. |

| Get a CPO V8 GX460 instead. Best value in SUVs out there right now. |

How are you leasing a 5 year old car? |
