2008 Land Rover LR2( SE,HSE)
Posted on Apr 22, 2008 under Land Rover |ageoflo from Cleveland:My LR2 is HSE. Although, LR2 provides good technologies along with a decent price but it might comes with a potential cost. 1st. we will have to question the reliability of LR2. From the history of Land Rover, the reliabiluty wasn’t that well. Actually, its reliability is very awful (Consumer Report 2008). Although, Land Rover keeps on saying that LR2 is not Freelander, but they are very much similar to each other. 2nd. The fuel efficiency of LR2 is pool for a 2008 car. Lastly, for a 3.2L car, 230 hp @ 6300 rpm is pathetic for Land Rover’s reputation. Look at the same class cross-over, such as Infiniti EX35 (3.5L, 297 hp @ 6800 rpm). BMW X3 (3.0L, 260 hp @ 6600 rpm), Acura RDX (2.3L, 240 hp @ 6000 rpm), and Lexus RX 350 (3.5L, 270 hp @ 6200 rpm). Although, the reliability of LR2 may potentially become a huge problem and expense, the tech. section of LR2 is very attractive to many buyer. That is the tradeoff the buyer will have to consider before purchasing this vehicle.
