"O Fantasma. Land Rover is the REAL DEAL"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power Seat switches came out of middle console.

Brake Pads & Rotors had to be replaced.

Auto-Dim Rear View Mirror needs to be replaced (air pocket in the liquid)

Minor leak in Sunroof.

General comments?

This car is probably one of the best I have owned.

I can drive 3 hours (freeway) on a quarter of a tank... approx. 200miles.

EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE.

Acceleration is faster 0-60mph than lets say 40-60mph.

Tow up to 6000lbs, however, if going up a steep hill with 6klbs... feels sluggish.. maybe 40mph max. (disappointing, but then again, it's only a 4.0)

Very spacious cabin, a PLUS if you have family/friends who are 6feet or more.

VERY FEW blind spots, you really see everything around you (COMMAND VIEW)

GREAT FACTORY stereo. Far better than many others I have had.

For a 1998, 150k mile engine vehicle... everything is running great. A few minor problems have occurred, but they're just that.. MINOR.

I would buy another one in a HEARTBEAT.

I have towed 8000llbs with mine. I find it helpful to knock the Gears down a Cog when going uphill with that kind of weight. It does sound like its being thrashed, but it is far better to just knock it down a gear.
