hey all!

to make a very long story somewhat short: i've had my 2003 discovery for just barely a year now, but on christmas eve rolled it off the highway and have good reason to believe it's totaled. for pretty obvious reasons (namely my pulse,) i've developed a good amount of brand loyalty. my question for you all is: in your opinion and experience, what's the most reliable model? i realize how silly it probably sounds using "reliable" anywhere on this forum, but i figure there at least have to be some models to steer clear of, and maybe one or two that are notably better than the rest?

 

FL2 would have to be the most reliable LR to date, no inherent issues that i'm aware of.
FL1 would have to be the most unreliable LR product.

 

I'm a fan of the LR3. I have 2 and they are both pretty fantastic.

 

Amazingly, it's the Freelander 2 that tops the reliability list.

I own and run an LR4 (a late D4) from new which has all the attributes of the LR3 but better sorted. It is a powerful 3.0 twin turbo V6 diesel and has less electrical gremlins and suspension gremlins then the LR3 but it does cost quite a chunk more dollars to buy. I have had little or no issues to date but it is a 2016 model with relatively low mileage.

Most Freelanders rarely go offroad and rarely work hard so it is probably why they are more reliable per mile than many LR's.
