Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
Looks like there will be a result for the 2005 in May, but not the 2006. Should have both in August. Based on a very small amount of data, it looks like the 2006 might require considerably fewer repairs. There are still a few days to respond this month, if you signed up earlier. New... -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
So far we're 2/3 of the way to the number of responses needed for a result for the 2005 in February. The 2006 is about half way. If you've signed up to participate but haven't yet responded to the survey (via a link in the email you received), please do. And if you haven't signed up yet, I... -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
A few more owners have signed up for the 2004 and 2005 recently, so the odds for results in May are looking good. As always, additional participants would be helpful. Still not enough to include 2006-2008 in the survey. For the details, and to help us provide solid results for all model... -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
A couple people have emailed me recently seeking reliability info on the LR3. There haven't been enough responses to include the model in this month's results, but May seems likely. Additional participants would make a result in May more likely. Details here: Vehicle reliability research -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
You're not the only one confused--it's something I'll be working on as part of a site redesign. Currently, the only way to access the main survey is by clicking on a link in an email I send out. The next one of these goes out tomorrow. The link is encoded, so it takes you straight to the... -

Land Rover LR2 reliability - how will it compare?
Just a few owners short of being able to include the 2008. Update: now included. Hoping for a result in August. Additional participants still very much needed. -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
The main survey now includes the 2006 as well as the 2005. Thanks, guys. That said, more participants will probably be needed for solid results. The more, the better. For the details, and to sign up to help, go here: Auto reliability research -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
Now just three owners short of getting started with the 2006. With the 2005, should know in a few weeks if there will be a result in February. All depends on how many respond to the survey--every response is critical at this point. Auto reliability research -- need more LR3s! -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
I'm not making judgments like that, just getting better numbers out there so people can decide for themselves. Reliability isn't everything. Should have first results for the 2005 in February. Just need a few more owners to start collecting data on the 2006. Auto reliability research! -

Anyone here own a LR2?
Judging from the traffic and posts here and elsewhere, many people seem interested, few seem to actually buy one. -

Just a few owners short of being able to start with the 2006. With the 2005, results possible in February. Depends on how many owners respond to the surveys. More always helpful. For the details, and to sign up to help out: Vehicle reliability research -

Have started with the 2005, and close to starting with the 2006. Those of you who have signed up to help, thanks, I appreciate it. -

Now just seven short with the 2006. Still four away with the 2005. So close... -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
LR3 owners keeping trickling in, thanks guys. Now just four short of the minimum needed to get started for the 2005, and nine short for the 2006. The 2007...well, need quite a few more of those, but each owner gets us one closer. -

Land Rover LR2 reliability - how will it compare?
In late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. I’ll also be updating results four times a year, so if there's a bump in repair rates it'll be evident sooner. Many... -

LR2 Gas Mileage
Be aware that since this is a 2008 model it will use the new test procedure, which tends to reduce the city rating by 2-3 and the highway rating by 1-2. My site has a real-world fuel economy survey, but too soon to have any data on the LR2. Hopefully within a few weeks. -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
Edit? Who has time to do that. I was mostly joking about the speed/mpg inconsistency. But I do have a fuel economy survey on my site, and follow up on odd submissions. One guy claimed an average highway speed of 110. So I emailed him. And he really did live in an unpopulated area and commute... -

Land Rover LR3 reliability - how does it truly compare?
Looks like a triple to me:biggrin: There appears to be an inconsistency in your post. I suspect that going 120 mph is not compatible with fuel econ over 16 mpg. -

A fully redesigned Land Cruiser will be introduced soon. The Lexus version was just shown in New York. Along with a larger, all-new body it gets the 381-horsepower V8 from the new Tundra. -

Request for unbiased advice
That sounds like good advice. If the RR and LR3 are equipped in Senegal anything like they are in the U.S., they'd seem far too nicely outfitted for farm use anywhere, much less in a sandy part of Africa. I wasn't aware that Toyota even offered the Sequoia outside the U.S. -
