The Car for You is just waiting for you
The Land Rover lr2 is amazing. It drives awesome and is 4 wheel drive. It is perfect to take off roading. It has a sunroof which is awesome too. Stereo system is really nice as well and it has a aux port. Cruise control is super easy to use which is nice. Get about 17 miles per gallon in town and 22 miles per gallon on the highway.

The most important thing about my car is that it uses premium gas.
I like that it is well built and has an outstanding 4x4 performance. I dislike how expensive it is to maintain.

I love my Land Rover and am a Rover customer for life.
I like how compact it is for a SUV. It's very reliable and in all the time I've owned it (since 2012) it has had very few problems. It rides much more like a car with the benefits of a SUV. It has very good pick up to speed. It has a great stereo system.

Great small SUV for all ages
I really enjoy the captain seats in the front row of the vehicle. The leather is very nice and breathable. I do not like that there are no heated seats, however. I have a 2004 Honda and it has heated seats, so I fully expected this vehicle to also have heated seats. My phone connecting feature is also very confusing. It often times will not connect to my phone, but it is okay because I usually do not use my phone in the car. I do love the speaker system. The sound is great and gets so loud. I also love the space in the trunk!

Our lr2's color is named after a volcano.
We love our land rover. It is very comfortable. It does well on long road trips, on mountain roads, at the beach and in all weather. It has very good pick up! The radio and ac are a little outdated but work very well. Our lr2 is a lovely fire orange color.

It is comfortable to drive.
Like everything. There is nothing to hate but I do wish it was not so expensive to repair and maintain.

The vehicle is very reliable as long as you maintain the routine maintenance.
Efficient on gas, very quiet inside the vehicle from street noise as well as silent blinkers. Very comfortable seating and has memory to seat adjustment if more than 1 driver. Contains navigation system and satellite radio.
