Land Rover LR3 Review Summary
"Touted as the Discovery replacement, the LR3 continues to live by Land Rover's outdoor off-road creed, but this vehicle has been optimized for on-road driving as well."
"As is Rover's custom, every off-road tool was on offer: height control, downhill assist, a locking center diff, terrain control, 10 Jesus bars, extraordinary wheel travel, an air suspension that soaked up impacts, and Goodyear Wranglers that were unfazed by slush, ice, and the occasional fir sapling. "
"Inside the neatly crafted cabin, the supportive black-leather swathed front captain's chairs elevate passengers to a strikingly clear view of the road ahead. Grand Black Lacquer wood (a no-cost option) with matching black leather covers the dash and console, adding a hint of chic-ness to the capable 4x4. Easily cleanable and rugged rubber floormats and storage-bin liners remind passengers they can still have fun in the mud should adventure duty ever call."
What reviewers liked least about the Land Rover LR3:
"Unfortunately, our LR3 nearly bankrupted us at the pumps, delivering observed fuel economy of 14 mpg, and it wasn't a fluke. "
"Several times during our weekend stint, trying to reach the A/C buttons proved a distraction. Much the same can be said about lowering the windows, whose switches are placed up near the sideview mirrors, rather than, say, the door handles. "

Best one-liners about the Land Rover LR3:
