The Land Rover lr2 is great for any scenario.
My car is very smooth in driving. I have never had an issue with overall condition of the car. It has proven to be very reliable. It fits five people very comfortably with plenty of room in the trunk. I would highly recommend this car to others. It gets pretty decent mileage as well. The basic sound system has great quality as well. Comfort is key in this car, as the seat warmers are used all the time, while the sunroof provides plenty of light and a nice view.

Land Rover lr2 is a great luxury vehicle. Great, luxurious interior.
Excellent performance and reliability. It is comfortable, safe and drives well. Holds lots of cargo yet luxurious. Gets good gas mileage. Great sound system. Durable seats, great sunroof. Very comfortable during long drives. Very easy to drive even though it is sturdy, durable and safe.

The red interior with black stitching all leather.
Performance is great I added the red interior to my car. Takes me to my destination with some luxury. It has a sun and moon roof. With a subwoofer that makes late night drives amazing or drives with friends. This was my first car and I love it wouldn't want any other car.

This car is very versatile. It can be used when there is a snow storm.
My car is very reliable on the road. I have not experienced any problem with it so far. It's off the road feature is reliable for when it snows outside.

It is strong and nice looking.
Love the look and height. Do not like the low gas mileage. Also the car has broken down a few times. But it is a great looking car.

The headlights gets washed each time I use the windshield washer fluid.
It has been reliable, it is very comfortable. Love the heated seats. Parts are expensive. Some of the logos have peeled off. I have had problems with the rear sensor every time it rains. Overall a fairly good vehicle. I might consider buying this again.

Gas guzzler and comfort, Land Rover.
It is a nice car but it has its pros and cons. The seats are very nice leather. The sun roof, moonroof, and heat seaters are all very nice features. However, the mileage is not very good at all and often times I find myself filling the tank back up, not to mention that it requires the most expensive type of gas. I have never had any major reliability issues but when something does need to be fixed, the parts are foreign so they are very expensive. It is a comfortable vehicle to drive and is very spacious. The multiple driving condition options are helpful, but mostly unnecessary.

The car is smooth and efficient
I bought this car used and I love it but the gas mileage is not the best. It is perfect for an individual traveling to and from work but not someone who drives as part of their job. Perfect car for a single person or couple. Decent amount of space in trunk but seats do collapse. I have taken the car on multiple road trips that were 10+ hours and have not had any problems with the car. One thing I would change about the car is the sound system- it is not Bluetooth and when the phone is connected, it is not as clear over the car speakers and it breaks up.

Four wheel drive, great in the snow
It constantly breaks down and I've brought it into Land Rover 4 times in the past year. I've had to get it towed because it won't start or brought it in because three different lights come on at the same time and each time it's the same issue. It's a cute car and I loved it but it's become a pain in the butt with all of its issues

It is a reliable car. The safety system is great and it is really great on gas.
Rides drives good. Its great and really good on gas. Dislike that the brakes are going out. Tires had to be replaced 2 years after I bought it new!

Repairs Will Creep Up On You
I purchased my LR2 HSE uses in 2016. So he was 4 yrs old when I got my hands on him. I would say 2019 was the "Worst" for me as everything went all at once. I spent $10,000 in repairs all through out 2019 and I still have 3 more jobs left to do to date. I guess you can say I added 100000 kilometres or 5 to 6 yrs of life to the Land Rover but It was at a very costly price at the end. I do take my LR2 to the dealership, but I found a great place that is going to replace the Wheelbarring this weekend for half the price Land Rover would charge me. And yes the part is a Authentic Land Rover Part being installed, just not paying Crazy Labour cost. Overall I've kept him in GREAT condition and looks newer then it is. I still get compliments to this day on how I have a nice car.
