Great color. Is she left handed or on the wrong side?

My experience with Land Rover left a bad taste in my mouth, but I really dig that model. What prompted the trade?

Constant service and cost was my issue….i was hoping to hear it’s different today.

I’ve heard it’s still bad- I know some girls at work who got rid of there’s because of service and the high cost for regular maintenance.

I don’t understand how they still sell cars to be honest.

my time with the defender was very positive. loved most everything about it and i never had any problem with mine, but based on anecdotal model data, i was lucky.
warranty was ending so it was time for something new/different.
my wife is much more comfortable driving the yota, and we have a great, local dealer for service, so those are both good benefits as well.

I asked a tow driver what make he picked up most and his answer was Land Rover.

Related topic-- Saw an article last night that Subaru took top spot as most reliable brand. The writer said it's because they carry lots of parts forward every model year instead of changing out for "new and improved".

Still driving a 2008 Acura RDX that has taken one more step in the direction of bucket. An electrical short was draining the battery within 2 days. Short is in the fused circuit that includes stereo/NAV/dash-display/backup-camera. Cheap fix is just leave the fuse out. When I made this decision I didn't realize I'd lose the ability to see the A/C setting. Crap.
