RE: OVERALL RANGE ROVER RELIABILITY?????
Little things always go wrong, it will be in and out of the shop.You have to really like thesetrucksenough to deal with their quirks. I've never spoken to or heard of a rover owner who didn't have to visit the shop atleast a couple of times per year (assuming you fixevery little thing). My rover is a daily to a highly modified mustang, and the mustang is more reliable thanmy stockHSEwith 40,000 miles on theclock... My father, in the car business for 30 years can't stand rovers, he won't touch them with a 10 foot pole!
A guy I know is on his 8th rover... 08 sport, he says affter his 2nd rover he learned to just always trade themin when they're out of warranty... With a warranty, I wouldn't worry about it, and the newer rovers are a little better, but they'll still have issues here and there...
I've had my new to me 04 for about 3 weeks now, I've already had a suspension failure (cheap fix), door lock needed to be replaced, power seats work intermittently. Intermittenet error messages... Mirrors work when they want, etc etc... I'd had it at a rover dealer and they can't even work out all the issues in one visit...
I'll say even with all the small issues, it's still a ride worthy of the headaches...
I could have bought an escalade or h2, but its just not the same... To me it's worth wrenching on it foran afternoon, or shelling out a few bucks to get it fixed propper... I'd be unhappy with anything else... So you're either a rover owner or you're not!
