My mate bought the Top of the range, Range Rover and it was worthless in 3 months, no one would even bid on it.
BMW all the way.
My mate has the 5.0 V8 Supercharged, it has about the same performance as the 3.0D X3 only I don't need to have a fuel tanker constantly filling me up! Grossly inefficient and as you say, unreliable. I've not looked in on a Range Rover forum, I can only guess what topics they discuss.....all those toys to go wrong.
