Land Rover
 

I have made it my mission in life to tell everyone who will listen that Land Rovers are of poor quality, unreliable and over-rated (over-priced, as well). I have had mine for 5 weeks and had it towed to the dealership this morning because it wouldn't start. This is the third time it has been in!


There...I said it, I feel better.

I want my Benz back

I have a Toyota Land Cruiser that everyone calls a Land Rover - they are not the same!!!

I love my Land Cruiser!!!

Thanks for the warning. The lease on my SUV is up next spring and at this point I don't know what my next car will be...but I guess not a Land Rover!

I don't know if this is true or not but rumor has it that the first Range Rover Sport that came off the line ( about 2 yrs ago ) wouldn't start for the porter. I've also heard a lot of negative consumer reports about the Land Rover brands. BTW, Isn't Toyota looking to buy the brand from Ford?

I haven't heard that one, but that doesn't mean anything. Why would Toyota want to ruin their reputation for quality?

Hyundai....
 

Okay-if we are going to discuss quality of vehicles...Would anyone want to give me some insight on the Hyundai Elantra??? I'm buying one (I've already put the money down for it because I desperately need a car) and I just want someone to give me some honest answers....I have a Dodge Stratus and I've had nothing but problems with it...Sure, it's a 1995 but, hey-I just graduated and it's the cheapest thing I could find in a snap....I've had it less than 6 months and it too has been to the shop more times than I would like to admit...

I had a 94 Dakota when I was in HS, and I really think that in the mid 90's Dodge was going thru some sort of a funk. Nothing but problems with that truck and most of the people I knew at the time who drove Dodge's had similar issues. Since then I've pretty much haven't even considered buying another Chrysler.

Toyota has gotten some red marks of their own in quality in the past two years, and for as crappy as they are Land Rovers still sell. As of a few months ago Ford was looking to potentially sell the LR and Jaguar brands to the right bidder for the right price. Not sure why just those two because I haven't heard of them trying to sell Volvo, Aston Martin, or Mazda though.

Daughter Number One and first husband had a Land Rover and had continuous problems with it.

I wouldn't buy one on a bet.

I don't know about Elantras, but my fiance drove a Sonata, and I have a Tucson, and we both LOVE our Hyundais. I've driven Toyotas and Hondas, and while they were great, I'm definitely a Hyundai fan now. I have had just such good luck with them as a company - everything from zero problems with our cars to great people at the dealer when I go in for checks. I also SUPER love my 10yr/100K mile Bumper to Bumper warranty in case anything ever does happen.

I'm glad you posted this because I was seriously considering getting a Land Rover. Right now I'm driving a Mountaineer that I love a lot, but it's about ready for a trade in. I'm thinking of just getting another Mountaineer.

My neighbor recently got a new Ford Edge and she says it's the best car (truck? I'm not sure what they're considered) she's ever owned.

Must be a bottom-line situation to keep those three plus Lincoln and Mercury. It is intresting that the Ford website does not mention Aston Martin as one of its brands, but they are 100 percent shareholders of the company.

Oh and I love my Volvo.
