Explore the 2005 Land Rover LR3

After 21 years and 128,000 miles my LR3 SE is as capable

After 21 years and 128,000 miles my LR3 SE is as capable and as comfortable as it was new--from rock crawling around Moab to a long road trip. Regular servicing has played a role--repairs have been minimal and everything works as it should. MPG is in the low range, although on secondary roads at 55-65 mph 20-22 is usual, with 18-20 at interstate speeds. I'm fortunate not to do typical city driving where mileage would be discouraging. All interior controls are intuitive-- a knob is a knob and a switch is a switch, with no levels to navigate to change something as simple as the AC fan speed. The lack of cameras and sensor beeps encourages driver awareness, in my view a greater asset than built-in robotics that tend to reduce alertness.

Good and comfort ride

I owed 2005 land rover Lr3 Hse and is really good, well some issues but overall good off road ride. What's is amazing is the year of this car and the new ones and is awesome to see the technology on 2005 so some of the new cars on the market maybe have half of the luxury of this model...

Is dope

Pretty neat owning a Land Rover LR3, a true definition of utility vehicle. Looks amazing covered in mud along with being in the front of a wedding venue. Fits in all parking spaces while being pretty spacious inside for 5-7 depending on options. However, there are the quirks and high maintenance costs. Definitely worth knowing a good mechanic before owning one. General parts are not locally available and the N/A V8 motors require premium fuel.

Great looking inexpensive truck

Great,comfortable, sold built 4x4 truck. Lots of room and 3rd row seating. It has a lot of options for regular and off road driving. It?s like a tank.

I LOVE LR3?s

I love this car so much this is my second time buying one. My first one was totaled and I had to get another. Many don?t like the exterior design yet I do and love that it comfortably seats 7. I will probably upgrade to LR4 when I?m ready for something new.

Best SUV on the Road

Amazing off-road and on, this is a beautiful car, the best SUV I've owned. This amazing looking car dos not look like it is 12 years old. If you are considering full size SUV's, you must drive a Rover!
