Love it! Some maitanence quirks. Uber Capable.
I have driven it cross country, off road, daily commuter, in snow, in rain, on dry land and it is comfortable and has lots of little details I love. I towed a 7000# load and with the exception of a 6% grade that was long it did fantastic with power to spare, (on the grade 45-50 mph). The low setting will climb anything and gives traction you cant believe and the special programs provide perfect power/brake/suspension adjustments for all conditions. The bad: The air suspension components fail 85,000 miles or more and there is an odd cooling quirk that gets most owners paying for things they dont need. The alterntor has a sensor that tells the cooling system to run full boar all the time if the alternator starts to fail (the voltage regulator specifically). This has the effect of over heating the car and the boiling water literally destroys cooling components like the thermostat housing, seals, cooling tank, etc...anything plastic. This results in people replacing the whole system for $1000=$2000 when they need a $145 alternator. The height sensors are easy to replace and inexpensive but if done at rover: $1500 vs. $500 local or $150 home diy. The brake sensor lead is easy to break when changing brakes, but cheap to replace and plug and play in minutes. Finally, use the $400-$500 hitch receiver as it tows perfect with this but after market safety is a problem with anything over 5000#. I would buy again and my MPG averages 15.5 combined and 18 highway up to 19.8 if you watch your speed. Love this car but the cooling system is a bit touchy.

Timing chain brakes without warning. 125000 miles
My 2006 lr3 timing chain broke with ,125000 miles, no warning. I have love my lr3 it’s beautiful, handles well.and It has always been serviced on tIme and driven with caution and care . I parked it in the driveway everything was fine until I needed to use it again the engine was hard to start then died there was a quarter size drop of oil on the ground I had it towed to my local Range Rover dealer the next day I was told that my timing chain ( not belt) chain had broken and it would need a complete new engine. My lr3 was beyond repair. I was told at the dealer that the 2006 lr3’s engines were built by Ford and that it was not unusual for the timing belt just to brake. I paid for a for a Rover lr3 not a Ford major price difference
