My husband says that Land Rovers are unreliable. Can someone who owns a LR3 give me their opinion of the car.

Question:
Consumer Reports and Edmunds have given unfavorable reviews. There are so many on the streets I don't know why people buy them if they are bad cars.

Answers:

Type of cars??

Traditionally Land Rover's have been unreliable because of former manufacturer's that owned them. Now being Ford bought them, their recent vehicles have been rated higher in reliability, particularly the electrical which has been replaced from previous BMW units where were a nightmare.

What can I do if I purchased a car a week ago , and I see problems with it now?

So far, all the vehicles now are 100% Ford designed (including the next Freelander), and it'll be 3 years after, till the ratings incease because thats how JDPower measures there "Vehicle Dependability Survey", so the jury is still out on that front.

So far from the reviews I've read online, they have been nearly flawless, so things are definately looking up. But like any vehicle, take it for a test-spin and see if it works for you.

For a used car is highway miles better than having city miles?

It's a status symbol. If you want a decent suv, go with a Lexus RX400h. It's not nearly expensive, parts are more readily available, and it's much more reliable. Your insurance will most likely be cheaper as well. The Lexus will hold its value longer.
