The Best Road Car in the Marketplace!

We love the SUV and have purchased another one. The Vehicle always performed as expected....That is why we are on our third Range Rover HSE.

Great Car in all conditions

This car satisfied all our expectations. We expected some repairs as we bought second hand and we have replaced front air bags, control arms and brakes. This was expensive but these repairs will last for at least 8 years or more. No other issues the car has never faulted us to a break down stage . The exterior and interior are in excellent condition aand you might say as new.

Unbelievable Luxury

A Bentley with 4 wheel drive. Refined interior that was thought of in every detail. Autobiography edition with supercharger. This is an amazing piece of machinery

Great car

It's a great car just be aware that it can be very expensive to maintain and fuel economy is very weak. It is very comfortable to take on long trips and you feel safe with the size

Had to sell!

It is a great car to drive. Comfortable, capable, all you could want. Mine was perfect up until about 6 months ago. Random electrical, electronic failures leaving me stranded. The dealer couldn’t get the vehicle operational for several weeks! And then I heard about the timing guide/chain/etc issue which plagues the V8 engine supplied by Jaguar and developed by Ford/Jaguar. Rover issued a TSB in 2013 but has never done a voluntary recall. They will not support their customers out of warranty for a known issue. Rover customer support( an oxymoron) got snippy with me when I called. This issue can cost anywhere from 8k to 12k, assuming you catch it before engine grenades. There is a least one lawsuit over this issue. Well, I absolutely loved my RR but this is way too much for anyone to take. Even if you are willing to get hosed on repair costs you are probably not willing to get stranded and be without a vehicle for weeks at a time.

Great car ! Mis fire issues 70k miles

I bought a 2012 Range Rover HSE with 62,000 miles at $23,000. I purchased a WARRENTY for $3900. The vehicle is amazing for what it is , a Range Rover with a 5.0 engine ! It started to make a weird sound soon after I bought it from grand valley auto . The engine was Mis firing on cylinder 5. $13,000 later and a rebuilt top end and new timing chain guides the engine sounds brand new . I have 70,000 miles on it now and I really do love it . It needs new control arms $1900, air suspension $3800 , and brakes $900. This car is expensive but it’s a fun and safe ride .

Most luxurious and reliable car I’ve owned.

The car has everything you would ever need. So much luxury and plenty of features even though it’s older. Easy to drive and very fun but can also be relaxing.

Great SUV

I have owned this full size RR for 4 years. I purchased it as a one owner certified used vehicle from my local dealer which originally sold it and serviced it. So far the vehicle is an absolute pleasure to drive and operate. The comfort, design, road ability and capability are superb. My reliability has been excellent but for an errant hood/door latch gremlin which set off the alarm system randomly. This was corrected under warranty. I maintain this car strictly in conformity with the recommended schedule which I think is essential. We do the same with my wife’s MB. The reliability has been much better with our RR than with our MB. I wish RR had offered the turbo diesel in 2012 -I love the Jaguar variant V8 but would appreciate diesel torque and mileage. The next RR will be a diesel. We love the mileage on my wife’s MB diesel.
