I had the opportunity to do a full-on 25 SUV comparison test a few years ago. Land Rover brought its (then new) Range Rover, Discovery and Freelander. I spent a lot of time in the LRs. Very good offroad.
Although, I've always been concerned about their quality. A buddy of mine had a Range Rover for less than a year, and after spending like 4 months in the shop, he ditched it. He took like a $12K loss.
And not to scare you, but the recent JD Power VDS (which tests 2001 models through 3 years of reliability,) Land Rover was far-and-away the least dependable brand available in the US. (472 reported problems per 100 vehicles, as opposed to Lexus (the best) at 162. Industry average is 269.)
Don't get me wrong -- I think you made a great decision, and there's more to the world than JDP. You just need to get a good one, because a good LR is great, but one made on Friday or Monday can be nasty!!!
