I was looking at the Dodge Journey...Dodge dealer wouldn't give me enough for my Honda Element...went to the Nissan dealer to look at a Pathfinder, didn't pass the sit and click test (I need a car with some ROOM) and there was an LR3 on the lot. Had NEVER considered an LR...not in my budget and I don't do offroading. But the price was right on an SE '06 >40k miles, and it passed the sit and click test. So, with no product research, I have an LR in my drive way and am doing my research bass ackwards.
Is there a list of things to watch/love/hate about the LR's geared toward newbies? I can say one thing I would change is the color...I have a thing for orange cars and will have to price out a wardrobe change for the Rover.
