The other issue with high end cars is that they’re always introducing new technology and mechanics in their cars. They rarely get to a place where they perfect their build. This is why Toyota’s and Honda’s have excellent reliability. They’ll continue to use the same engine through several generations. However, they’re not as exciting or fun to drive as luxury vehicles.

[@DrivenHard]

Perfectly put. It's amazing how many people fail to understand this concept though

[@garrylong2993]

@Real Napster the tlx type is a pos. Can’t come close to an m3 or m5 in tech or driving performance. Have you seen the throttle house review, it’s a turd

[@DigitalYojimbo]

Tbh Hyundai is coming out with alot of advanced features yet their reliability is pretty good.

[@DrivenHard]

Where does that brand fit into the equation?

[@victormwenda4906]

perfectly summarized

[@Monty7473]

Land Rover has always had reliability issues (I’ve owned several). As a certified automotive technician, I have owned, driven and repaired many. They have placed in the bottom for dependability since the 70s. Technology/electronics wasn’t an issue through the 70s, 80s & 90s. Poor quality rubber components (often outsourced to India), poor quality plastic, (often outsourced to the lowest-bidder) and poor quality electrical components (electrical not electronic) are just a few of the common issues I have personal witnessed over the years. With over 30 experience, I can honestly say there are much more reliable/durable 4x4s available (usually for less money). The reality is if you’re buying a Land Rover to use as 4x4 (not just occasionally playing) your probably making a mistake. If you’re looking for a luxury SUV that gets attention (and happens to be a 4x4) you’re probably going to love it. Also, reliability is relative to type-of-use and environment. “Most” Brits. & Europeans don’t use their vehicles as often, as much(as in miles/kilometers), or in as many different terrains as American drivers do and they aren’t (typically) as abusive. I suspect this is why Land-Rover hasn’t had to up it’s durability/reliability game as much as most American domestic car manufacturers. With that said. Like so many things, it boils down to personal preferences/decisions. If a man loves corvettes and chooses one for a daily-driver he’ll probably never admit to their unpracticality or other issues and we all know a woman who has a favorite dress or pair of shoes that are as uncomfortable as hell, but she keeps wearing them because they look good. It’s been my experience that the typical Land Rover owner either Loves their Land-Rover and is willing to accept its flaws/issues or they Love their Land-Rover so much that they are in denial of its flaws/issue. P.S. Calling commenters “morons” and “idiot-keyboard-warriors” after posting a video on KZbin (for the whole world to see) and asking for feed back actually makes you look like a “moron” or “idiot keyboard warrior”yourself. Whether intentional or not these types of comments make it sound as if: 1) you don’t truly want to hear honest criticism of Land Rover products. 2) if someone’s comment doesn’t match your opinion you’ll go on the defensive with insults. This is counterproductive if your looking for honesty and truth, in any situation/discussion. You asked for feedback. This is mine.

[@trustyoungpierre9959]

Perfect response. I can say I was the same about BMW. I hated it because others told me they were garbage. I’m now on my 2nd BMW and man do I love them so much. I’d like to try a Range Rover one day just to see what the hype about them is all about. I’m single and don’t have much responsibilities at all. Hopefully God blessed one day when I can purchase a nice Range for myself. Afterall “life is too short to drive boring cars”.

[@Natashea]

I want a Range Rover so bad but if it’s going to stay in the shop while new it’s a deal break no matter how big of a flex it is

[@DrivenHard]

1. Range rovers are not a flex. 2. You live one. Drive the cars you want.

This is perfectly put: "It’s been my experience that the typical Land Rover owner either Loves their Land-Rover and is willing to accept its flaws/issues or they Love their Land-Rover so much that they are in denial of its flaws/issue. " Reminds me of a couple of my mates

[@patu5798]

This man is 100%. I used to have land cruiser v8 diesel. Never let me down. Ultra reliable truck. Cheap to service and run and the resale value was insane. I sold it. Bought a Merc GLS diesel. Which is not ultra reliable. Is more expensive to run and maintain and bleeds on resale value… ( it’s never let me down. But there is room for improvement) however I like the merc. It has much more tech. Which I like. The comfort and ride quality is insane and to top it off it looks good. I will buy another one. It’s all about what you want as a person.

[@BigBoiiBunch]

Land Rovers reliability has been improving over the years. Definitely better than what it was in the early 2000s.

[@DrivenHard]

100%. The early 2000s was horrible for any car that was trying to take advantage of early technology back then. Of course some like LR did worse then others.

[@DrivenHard]

You can't compare old VS new. It's like comparing rotory dial phones to modern ones. Everyone knows more tech = shorter overall life span due to tech becoming outdated etc. Comparing cars built in the early 2000s to now is a more fair or accurate comparison

[@lilmoris1]

[@shanedrake5020]

I had a 2018 Velar R Dynamic for 3 years..... not 1 issue. Just got the 2021 DEFENDER 110 X Dynamic 4 months ago..... so far it has been amazing. I also have a 2020 Ford F250 I use for work, lots of small issues....... no matter who makes the car, there will always be lemons and ones that run for 300 k, just have to keep up on your maintenance.

[@DrivenHard]

well said Shane!

[@keagenmarking5067]

There’s a big difference between getting a new car when the warranty runs out or driving it for 300k miles. Get a 4Runner probably drive it for 300k+ miles and spend less on maintenance then on any given Land Rover driven between 100k and 150k

[@bboydrae]

Everyone wants reliability. Even people who heavily modify their vehicles, doesn’t always workout that way but that’s the ultimate perk of a well sorted vehicle reliability.

[@TicketyBoo.]

Couldn't agree with you more. I've owned Land Rover, Range Rover, Rover Jaguar, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, GM, Citroen, Nissan and more. Each and every one of them have had some kind of problem but as an example, my first Range Rover was a 1999 P38, purchased in 2004. I had it for six years and NO major breakdowns. My last Audi however was a 2012 A6 bought in 2015, I kept it for just over a year before selling it for spares. In just one year I had an EGR valve, a turbo, the ABS module, a window motor all fail. The final straw was the turbo failing a second time so I gave up on it. No, not all Audi's are bad either. I now have a 2018 Jaguar XFR bought new and the most expensive thing i've replaced is the oil and filters. Did you know there are Land Rovers built in the 1940's still in daily use.

[@DrivenHard]

See, why don't more ppl understand this!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@philedwards7174]

I currently have a Velar P300. Had it from new, now 3 year old, 25,000 miles. On two 9r three occasions my lcd screen has frozen, however fixed itself next time engine started. Biggest problem is brake use. Disc and pad change every 10,000 miles at a cost of £500 a wheel. I've paid out £4,000 for 20,000 miles just on brakes. I note that the 2023 models have moved onto Brembo brakes. That will hopefully resolve the problem. Love Range Rover.

[@danielha6604]

I owned an bmw x5 g05 for 5 months and have even more issues than rrs which i own about a year. I guess reliability is on depends on our own luck whether we pick a good one or bad one 😅

[@bella_testastretta]

true but its more like 1/10 bmw's will be bad, whereas 1/3 range rovers will be bad

[@CarThings___]

My LR3 has 175k miles, no major issues, hardly even anything minor even after dozens of off road trips, an accident and skipping probably half of the recommended services. It’s amazing seeing other cars of the same age with fewer miles and they’ll have a bunch of little issues and things that do t work like buttons and worn seats... even after years with a Bernese mountain dog my interior is basically spotless somehow, it’s just so durable. Couldn’t be happier with it.

[@dct124]

I'm wondering if only driving 10k to 12k miles is the issue in reliability. I drive a E350 and have put nearly 50k miles on it this year and have literally only needed oil changes. It has 81k now and still on the first set of brakes from factory. It's a 2013. Not one issue other than the ac fan squeaks which I'll change soon, easy fix, takes like 5min to swap out.

[@culldera1]

You are incredibly lucky with that LR3 being so reliable! I’d recommend playing the lottery lol

[@southhillfarm2795]

How can anyone make a comment on reliability when a vehicle is less than 3 to 5 years old? Records on reliability are rarely determined by the first owner or a vehicle under warranty. Reliability is determined after about 150000 km's and that is usually when a luxury car starts to have issues mostly due to its complexity. Land Rovers are beautiful vehicles and a person can buy these fairly cheap on the used car market when they are around 10 years old. But the new owner has to be prepared to spend a fair amount of money restoring the vehicle with new parts. Personally I think its still worth it because they are very nice to drive. I have a 2010 LR2, built on the same chasis as the Volvo XC platform. But things go on these trucks prematurely IMO. But considering what they can be bought for they see worth the price. A Similar Lexus costs twice as much on the used car market and yes they will need less initial parts replacement but they get old and need maintenance just like any other vehicle

[@DrivenHard]

Most people don't understand, luxury cars are designed for the first owner and that's it. Not 4 or 5 different owners over 20 years. Too complex like you said. Thanks for sharing SHF

[@ABach-ld2oc]

I bought a used Range Rover 322 7years ago and it was awesome! yup. After the air suspension went out and I had a teeny tiny electrical hiccup (smoke)...I bought a a cheap 80 series land cruiser and swapped teh engine. Now my 322 Range Rover is incredibly reliable....even after 7 years. I am sorry, but i'm not an idiot in the comment section or a keyboard warrior. You are an idiot for saying that your viewers are idiots. If you wanna flex and just show off pretending you have money, buy a range rover; if you want real reliability with minimal issues, by a land cruiser.

[@DrivenHard]

You can’t flex with a $100,000 car in this day and age. Come on man. Get with it 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@yummy1234098]

Per your video, people may not be buying an LR for reliability due to their reputation, but i bet you if it was reliable, they'd love it even more

[@aidenp5768]

It’s true, a lot of people assume reliability problems for the rest of that cars lineup just because they see a couple issues.. it’s a big problem with pretty much all higher end car, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Range Rover, Bentley, everything higher end people have something to say about and half the time is also lack of maintenance, warm up times and gasoline uses. Then some cars actually have big problems, like BMWs from the mid 2000s E60/E66. Now those issues of the past follows them into the 2010s.. now all modern BMWs are plagued with the reliability problems that actually don’t exist.

[@DrivenHard]

So true BB. And as with all modern cars, the more sophisticated they become the more complicated they become to maintain. If people want easy to fix, cheap to maintain vehicles go buys stuff from the early 90s and live with that. Luxury car makers no longer make cars that they intend to be driven for 15 years problem free, they make them with the intention that people who spend 100K+ on a car, want it new and with the latest tech and 4 or 5 years later will do the same again. That right there is what most people fail to remember.

[@samsongerald7643]

Not necessarily about maintenance because I Bought my Range Rover sport brand new , drove it home, next day electrical issues detected as ⚠️ lights came up on screen and the whole thing shut down. It had to be towed back to Range Rover where it stayed for couple of days before it was finally back on the road. Something I have never experienced with my BMWs

[@DrivenHard]

@@samsongerald7643 that sucks. What was the issue??

[@samsongerald7643]

@@DrivenHard used technology jargon , something like software glitch . They just gave me curtesy car though and apologised for the hiccup but I was soon back with my car. In the UK 🇬🇧 we get more protection and extended warranty on cars, I’m not sure about N. America . I just thought , the fact I’m spending loads of cash on a luxury car with all added options, it shouldn’t have those problems . I have been paranoid ever since , although it hasn’t had a problem except for the centre console (touch screen freezing) . I have AA but it’s embarrassing you’d agree if ones stranded whilst cheap cars drive 😂 so I only take it out occasionally with family and use my x6 as a regular which doesn’t have any issue. We do yearly services here and something called MOT which is mandated by law to check everything’s functional & road legal .

[@nickgarcia4988]

I worked for years as a mechanic for Lexus and then left to work for Land Rover/Jaguar. I was blown away by how horrific the overall quality of Land Rovers engineering is a joke. Very nice materials, very nice styling and great to drive while they work. For the money Land Rover needs to do something about its reliability because you shouldn’t be in shop 20-30 times in your first 100,000 miles on a non-exotic vehicle

[@tayondarnell3779]

I fully agree with you when you mentioned if a car is in an accident, there can an underlying problem that won’t get fixed even after everything else is fixed. Which what I’ve said for years, once a car is in an accident it’ll never be the same after that

[@lilmoris1]

You can shoot a Toyota Hilux with a tank and it’ll probably start and run, reliability and quality shows.

[@stephenburnage7687]

Bought a 2008 Range Rover Sport new in 2008 (4.4 V8 engine) and still drive it daily. Only issue in all that time was a transmission replacement (done under warranty) when a few months old. Other than that, it is has been 100% reliable. Had several 1990's Discoverys and they were horrible in every way, though.

[@ELP1125]

The fact the Land Rover ALWAYS ranks near the bottom on nearly EVERY list for reliability, really says something. It’s not a guarantee that you’re going to get a money pit, but I’m sure you’re going to have SOME major issue before 100K

[@DrivenHard]

Hows it's a money pit? My warranty has coveted all issues but 1 which in broken my self. Not everyone listens to reports some people just buy cars they like and live life man. Reports are more for the lower to middle class of people who care about all that stuff and buy cars based off them

I have a 2020 XE and I can agree with the assembly line sentiment. I had an issue where my center screens would go black and a little bit of the tach display as well. I noticed it happened more after car washes. It was obviously a module that was not communicating. Took the dealer a month to figure it out which was annoying but they were nice and gave me a loaner after a few days. Turned out to be a pinched wire in the rear bumper. They rerouted the wire and never had the issue again. I suspect that the wire was loose from the assembly line and after numerous underbody wash sprays pushing the wire up more caused it to catch onto something and get pinched. Cats don’t like water I guess lol also if you have the 20” rims on the XE do not use the pirellis P zeros. Absolute awful tire. Had to replace a whole set already cause of bubble in them.

[@JefferyStarcevich]

I have owned from new a Discovery 2 a D3 and a D4 and all have never let me down. My D4 will be kept until a electric model that suits me is available. I have complete faith in my D4 which is now 7 years old. My son is still driving his 1997 Discovery 1 with 350000 odd kilometres and still going strong . The TDI engine and trans is untouched but the water pump, alternator, radiator, vacuum pump,timing belt, and a few other bits have worn out and been replaced but the car is 26 years old now. regular servicing is the key.

That’s awesome. With that many kms I would call that pretty standard maintenance. How often do you change your oil?

I’ve had an LR4, a RR sport and now a defender. I’m pretty tough on my rovers. I rock climb, drive thru pretty deep mud and off road on trails that are mostly “Jeep” trails. I’ve had No problems that weren’t caused by driver error on the trail. Currently only have about 5000 miles on the Defender and no issues yet. I did high center it on a large rock that needed some help getting off of (help from friend with full size Range Rover). It’s great off road and excellent on road. The defender is my favorite so far. Fun to drive and very comfortable.

[@richardh3587]

I have a 2020 RRS with the inline 6. Love it as well. Had a few random electronic glitches over the past year but I expected that going in. Love this car though. Statistically, I do think you’re more likely to have issues with a JLR product but I agree it shouldn’t be something that holds you back from getting one if you love the car otherwise. The defender is a brand new car with brand new electronic systems and engines so of course you are more likely to have issues in the first couple model years vs a 4Runner which hasn’t changed in basically a decade. That’s a big part of Toyota/Lexus secret btw- they are very slow to update things. Take a look at the new IS- basically the same interior and engines as the previous gen. Lexus GX is still sporting an infotainment system from like 2005! I get the “only buy Toyota” mentality if you only can afford one car and it absolutely has to get you to work each day. By all means then get a Corolla. But when you get into the luxury sector, let’s be honest most people only keep the cars for the warranty period. And if you want the latest greatest tech and performance, you’re going to be in the bleeding edge. Same thing with any of the European brands. I actually think the higher end Land Rover products feel better built/use better materials than much of the competition. My sports interior kind of reminds me (in a good way) of an old school Mercedes for example. So my sense is that yeah you might have a few more glitches during the warranty period than other brands but it’s really nothing worth getting bent out of shape about or buying a car you otherwise hate (for me that would be any current Lexus other than the new LC coupe). Like any bad reputation though, JLR would have to consistently deliver best in class reliability for 5 or more years to shake their bad rep. That’s just how it is.

[@DrivenHard]

Hey Richard, great to hear from you! You are golden with the line, ' I expected going in." I came into the brand thinking that as well, so I dont panic (like the TFL guys lol) when I see an error message or something pop up.

You definitely can't base the reputation off of 1 video. But you can't think Land Rover just recently got a bad reputation. It didn't get a bad reputation just after their video.

Their reputation has been built for decades and has been changing because of the newer models with high-tech gizmos.

[@seanbrosnan2074]

I've heard land rovers are MUCH better in Europe than they are in North America, mainly because they are diesel over there. But I've heard land rovers are sort of improving in North America, mainly due to more people buying them. Another thing, is general when a new model or generation comes out, don't buy the first year of that model or generation, cause they will generally have to iron out all of the production kinks at all, as you stated. That's just my opinion on this entire controversy. I think the new defender is a decent vehicle, but I want to wait a year or two, just to see long range updates on how its doing, cause I plan to buy one. I don't have my heart dead set on a new defender, I am considering a 4-door Ford Bronco aswell.

[@DrivenHard]

I think their larger engines are way more reliable then their smaller petrol ones for sure. We don't have a ton of diesel options here since NA is really just getting into the diesel market still. I FULLY agree with you about the first year model issues. It's like that with all manufacturers pretty much.

@@DrivenHard Yeah pretty much. Land rover should bring over some of their diesels, or make a new one for the North American market.

That's just one of the issues. The problem is if you're spending 100k+ on a car you don't expect to have a lot of electronic issues. Luckily my car was new and the dealer fixed most of the issues, after many attempts. I was in an accident with a police cruiser, I tee boned him and the police car completely folded... Even the officers on the scene were like "damn that rover took that well". I sold it shortly after it was fixed.

Unfortunately I didn’t change to another Land Rover and purchased L200 animal truck. Worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. But unfortunately people I know are not considering the land rover because of TFL post, but myself on the other hand test drove a new defender about 3 months ago and I must say it is excellent brilliant to drive and I absolutely love it. I’m currently drive golf gti as my pleasure car, and transporter for work, but after driving defender I will be purchasing a new defender sometime in 2021 so I can’t wait. Unfortunately in life you do get a bad model, I’m a Volkswagen fan love there cars etc, but my dad purchased one last year only to find that half it the boot and passenger back seat soaking in water, the car had to be stripped and sorted and is ok now, so this doesn’t make Volkswagn bad but proves a point that you do get a lemon from time to time.

This very biased review. So first making a rant about people pointing out Land Rover unreliability then admitting having two issues since new... you just contradicted yourself there.

It’s also a fact that majority people that drive them love them DESPITE those issues - and you are one of the examples. I really like them and hope to get one but I would be stupid or naive not to think I won’t have any issues like with my Beemer. Being realistic helps. P.s. power of KZbin I totally agree with you - things can get overblown here but in this case it fits the profile so you can’t blame people as it’s logical connection.

Quality assurance has got loads of catching up to do in that regards, part of the problem could be because they are built in Britain.... i would bet my money if it was done in Germany there wouldnt be majority of the issues.
