Something about this particular model has me very intrigued and ready to buy, but the "spotty build quality and reliability" (per Edmnds) is holding me back.
The LR4 is out of my price range, even though it has a better V8 option and some nice refinements (LR made it less utilitarian, more luxury).
Surprisingly, the maintenance parts for the LR3 are very affordable (about on par with my F150), although I'm sure there are certain things on the LR3 that will be an arm+leg to fix.
If I were to get one, it would be purely out of "throwing caution to the wind" as I am generally very conservative and sensible. Would it be so wrong for me to go against the grain and purchase a luxury SUV that isn't known for reliability? I am flat out googly eyed at the lines on the body and the general stance. It's supposed to be quite capable, too.
