    LR4 Long-term Spot Check - Interior Quality

    The leather looks brand new in my 2010. There is no noise, except on very cold days where there is a slight click overhead near the sun roof. Overall, the interior has held up great. A little unrelated to this topic, but my only complaint is that the speakers in the front doors could use a bit...

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    I think you're correct about the different packages. I'll add that I've found that the high-beam assist works surprisingly well. The adaptive lights are well worth getting. I rarely use the surround cameras, but in 2010 the surround cameras also included a much better backup camera (not sure...

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    I was surprised to see that Causeway Gray is a lot closer to black than it is to my 2010 Stornoway (which is darker than the current Orkney). I thought I liked Causeway after seeing it on the web, but it's even nicer in person. I did get the extended leather. The double stitch top of the...

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    I just ordered a 2013 today to replace my 2010. I was going to wait a month or two, but don't want to be shut out of the V8. I was able to get $3000 off of an MSRP of $64,170, which I think is decent for a factory order. I didn't negotiate the trade of my 2010 LUX yet, but I think there is...

    buying a new lr4

    FYI - this is from an Edmunds forum. It appears that the rate from Chase is 2.85% (.00119 x 2400), which means the dealer made 1% pure profit on the back end of your deal, or about $32 a month. It might be that LR4s are in short supply and it made sense to grab the deal, or maybe you could've...

    buying a new lr4

    I did tie out to your #s before tax (although in most states your monthly payment includes tax based on the amortized amount). 3.85% is not too bad, but I would check the web to make sure that's the bank rate and not marked up by the dealer (I'll try to post some good links later). I also would...

    buying a new lr4

    Typically, LR has not been aggressive on leases (unlike BMW, who subsidizes their leases by setting artificially high residual values). To evaluate the lease you need to get a spreadsheet (I can send you mine, or there are plenty online) and plug in the price, term, payment, and residual to get...

    Cargo Net for 2011 LR4

    Another vote for the Rola - can fold flat when not in use - dealer gave me the net but I never use it

    Has anyone activated NAV on the go on a 2010, while retaining voice commands?

    Thanks for the reply. Both seem to work on the 2011, but haven't seen confirmation yet on the 2010 model.

    Has anyone activated NAV on the go on a 2010, while retaining voice commands?

    Is it true that you can have either the ability to enter NAV destinations while in motion, or the voice command functions on a 2010 LR4, but not both? In other words, does having your dealer enable NAV on the go through a software update, knock out the voice commands? Does anyone have both NAV...

    2011 LR4 Voice Controls

    goblue95 1. I find the system works well for a few simple things, including calling contacts I have set up as favorites. "Navigation go home" is also a useful command that works every time. 2. Siri responds through the car's audio system whenever it's activated. Siri is a decent way to voice...

    iPhone 4S Siri works through bluetooth

    Sorry to tempt you, but you will also find it noticeably faster and the camera is much better.

    iPhone 4S Siri works through bluetooth

    You need to manually start Siri, but then you can put the iPhone down and tell it "text to [contact name] followed by your message." So it's hands free after you start Siri and Siri will read out loud your message and ask you if you want to send it.

    iPhone 4S Siri works through bluetooth

    I was surprised to find out that the Siri voice assistant feature on my iPhone 4S works through the LR4 audio system through bluetooth. I can start Siri and then put the phone down on the seat, using the car microphone and speakers. Sending text messages handsfree is a great feature. I can also...

    Can '12 smaller Smart Key work on '10?

    It's probably too early to tell, but I'm wondering if the new slimmer Smart Key can be made to work on 2010-11 LR4s. Does anyone know? The 2010 Smart Key is great, but a bit bulky.

    New Owner Questions

    It would make sense for kph to show if you drove a US LR4 to Canada, because the analog speedometer only has mph...but makes no sense why the digital mph was disabled. It must have been a last minute decision, as the 2010 marketing brochure shows the digital display (and also shows radio info...

    New Owner Questions

    The strange thing is that the digital speed in the TFT screen works if you change the settings to km/h. I called LRNA to asked why mph was disabled, but never got a straight answer.

    Little feelings about the LR4.....

    For those complaining about the cup holders being too tight, my salesperson had a nice solution. He gave me a pair of the cup holder plastic inserts from the LR3. The LR3 version doesn't have the protrusions of the LR4 insert, which allows larger diameter containers. So, I use one LR4 insert and...

    Logic 7 Sound System worth it for ME?

    I'm also not an sudiophile, but Logic 7 is a noticeable improvement. It adds spatial dimension to the various parts of the music. Why don't you switch it on and off on a test-drive to decide?

    am I getting a good deal on an LR4?

    You're really asking two questions: what can I get off MSRP?...what are good lease terms? I suspect you can negotiate a few thousand, or more (depending on location) below MSRP. However, LR leases are not attractive due to the low residuals. I got 0.9% financing, which was way less expensive...

    am I getting a good deal on an LR4?

    What's the residual and money factor on the lease? LR Finance (Chase) sets the residual, but the dealer can pad the money factor for extra profit. 53,000 is sticker, but what capitalized cost did you negotiate? The deal sounds good, but you need to crunch the lease numbers to know whether you...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    I agree with many of your points, as it is also my preference to lease. However, you still have to crunch the numbers to decide between your options. A lease with a high residual and a low money factor makes sense, but Land Rover's low residuals (in the 40s) and mediocre rates made it a lousy...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    For those who bought or financed their LR4, I would guess the resale value (residual) would be higher for a Lux. I especially think the memory seats and keyless entry would be attractive to buyers down the road. The resale value has to be considered to get a total cost of ownership. I would've...
