Had 3 and np problems. Currently got a 21 plate Autobiography with 3.0 Ingenium straight 6 which is a wonderful car that’s now done 30,000 trouble free miles. Had more problems with BMW and Volvo in the past (D5 new engine at 28k). Don’t make judgements on anecdotal comments especially from those who have never owned one! All makes of cars have issues and failures. Buy a warranty if you are concerned.

[@aimzallday6727]

Volvo makes really poor quality cars and I don't care what some biased owners think ,I had 2 xc90s and nothing but money pits and trouble

[@carspottereast]

Isnt it ranger rover more reliable since tata motors took over

[@v12-s65]

I also didn't have any problems with my 2 evoques, did 150k miles on the 2nd one. However buying used I get concerned cause I don't know what the previous guy did

[@RoyalBaboon247]

Well said, I have owned RR sports ( petrol) and never had any major problems. X5, Jeep SRT and mainly the Q7 gave me heaps of problems. I don't understand all the bad reviews on RR either - unless that awful diesel engine pre 2017.

[@joshpascoe]

The 3.0 straight six is a gem of a motor.

[@AutoVidzzz]

So so helpful, great presenting too

[@AutoVidzzz]

SVR is the one. I’d love to drive one, everyone says how much fun they are, which makes no sense, because physics.

[@TravelJay23]

Any chance you could review the Porsche Cayenne please chap?? Love your vids and thinking about getting a 4.2 2015-2016 Cayenne but want as much info I can get before I go for it. Cheers

[@overlandjourno]

I'm subscribed. looking for an sdv8 as a tow car for my 1 ton off-road camper

[@RobertoSanchez-rz4qv]

Thanks.

[@addj7093]

The quad exhaust on the pre face lifts looks better imo and don’t they sound better?

[@ManiSuReal]

I just bought one. Wish I had seen this video first. Now will be living in panic everyday owning it. Damnit!

[@sammyg805]

Anything gone wrong yet?

[@blu_sage7310]

Yeah I want an update

[@t3ucy]

Shall I buy one or not?

[@johnny5tunes]

Owned the 2016 HSE Dynamic now for coming up to 3 years in July. Great motor the Wife and I love it, just worried a bit now on my renewal for Insurance… been hearing loads of horror stories of stupid prices!!!! Paid just over £650 last year!!!!

[@richarddoheny2706]

650 quid is not bad, how much was the renewal ?

[@SkywalkerPMs]

I kicked it around awhile, and bought a Lexus GX460 instead.

[@emmanueldomond4687]

Air suspension problem and electrical problem are like twins brothers for these cars

[@PaulFeakins]

The air suspension system wasn't on the SVR?

[@JacobSmith-hz2tr]

Worked with LR for 15 yrs. if you can’t afford the new model (which is very very good) then buy a 2019 onwards HST. This is yhe 3.0 straight six petrol engine and is far more useable than the V8, as good or better to drive and very reliable.

[@deadshot9691]

hello, quick qustion what do you think about range rover velar sva v8 is it relible can you daily dirve this car in the midel est ?

[@v12-s65]

it's either the P400 for me or the SVR. Both 2019 onwards ofc.

[@v12-s65]

@@deadshot9691 use a 40 grade oil not a 20 in those hot temperatures

[@tonyrichardson1140]

I have just heard bad things about Range Rover. Considering the cost of the vehicle and the cost of the insurance its a nightmare. They are apparently easy to steal and not even fitted with an immobiliser, which could nearly half your insurance premium. Its probably best to lease rather than buy.

[@steviefn2typer]

Couldn’t justify spending big money on anything with a land rover or Range Rover badge on it, have a mate who’s had major trouble with the velar and Range Rover sport to the point they almost took Land Rover to court

[@CarsofGlasgow]

it seems its the only way to get LR to take responsibility sadly. my mum had a velar when they 1st came out and it had electrical issues from the first day she collected it :/

[@steviefn2typer]

@@CarsofGlasgow shocking mate for the price of them

[@cabottaxi]

Got neighbour who has had 2 of these SVRs in the same colour . Unless you have the ability to store them in a locked secure garage I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Nothing funny about guys looking at them with torches and balaclavas at 0200 in the morning whilst you are fast asleep.

[@johanhulzing9327]

I am starting getting depressive. Should I buy one? NO !

[@funeralblvck4755]

I'm the same I want one but don't want to give up my reliable x7 for one. But love the shape of the L405s

Just don’t buy the 3.0 engine diesel the crank shaft goes on them

They cut corners, they using other companies parts that's why they brake often.

Right, my RRS two times engine crankshaft snapped in 1 year. This car makes people sick.

[@b4lt4z4r85]

No Do Not Buy! How can Posh company allow 90 of their cars being stolen in a single day in a single city. They should knock on doors like Witnesses do or recall all vehicles by VIN.

[@simonm1528]

Depending if you get it cheap enough and know how to fix the issues if there's a problem.

[@Imad888.]

Most of the problems are to be expected with other brands aswell though.

[@MrSeans2]

@@Imad888. and to be real I seen similar issues with normal brands like ford and chevy so idk I think it’s because of the cost of the vehicle but I have seen people have Land Rovers with no problems at all

[@DrivenHard]

Glad to see all your first hand experience is paying off 😂

[@tlmessage9196]

As far as im concerned, leaking valve covers is an every car problem.
