I have owned every model of Range Rover since its debut in 1987, and the 2003 new model is the best of the lot by far. The 2003 has the BMW engine & runs circles around all previous models. Quick off the line and will cruise as fast as you like and feel like a million dollars. You definitely have the impression of BMW styling and craftsmanship in the interior like their flagship 740 series, from the instruments, dash and seating. The heated seats are great. Off-road, you still can't beat it. For the few who have never been off road in a Range Rover, you are missing a great experience. It will do much more than you will have the courage to try. I usually trade my Range Rovers every two years, but have had this one for five, I just can't give it up. The only problems I have had were very minor, like the cubby box chrome handle falling off, but Land Rover replaced the whole lid without a question. No engine or drive train problems. If you are wanting to get into a Range Rover but don't want to spend the big bucks, this is the one you should start with. Certified models are of course, preferable. The Land Rover extended warranty is very good if you can get it. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

I have owned 3 Range Rovers. A 2005 (4.2 liter BMW engine) One 2006 (Supercharged/Full Size) and one 2007 (supercharged/full size) The cars are great but the new 4.2 liter Jaguar engines do have some problems especially the supercharger. My air intake has messed up on both the 2006 and 2007, The light has come on and the vehicles have been serviced more than 4 times. The rear tail lights have also filled up with water during the winter and needed replacing. Remember this is a Ford product. The 2005 models were flawless especially the BMW engine, No problems at all. This vehicle is great but has a terrible re-sale value. The 2007-up Range Rover models are much more "American" than european. The "supercharged" emblem on the rear of the vehicle is the same emblem as put on the Lincoln Navigators that says "Limited". The cup holders are much bigger and standard looking that can hold a "Big-Gulp" cup and are not as advanced and as sleak looking as the 2006 and younger models. The key ignition was moved from from the bottom near the drive shifter like most european cars and moved up to the standard American placement by the steering wheel. The knobs that control the heating/AC are much more plastic and cheaper looking than the 2006 models which were rubberized and nice looking. The head rests look like the Range Rover Sport which by the way is based off a Ford Explorer frame. I have to admit Ford Motor Company really put there ideas into this vehicle instead of keeping it very european like BMW did back in 2003 when they owned Range Rover before selling it to Ford in 2005. Although this vehicle is very nice and I like mine it is not perfect. The new full size Range Rover is expected towards the end of 2009. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
