#73 of 82 Forbes Magazine Reviews LR3 by lightcahill Sep 20, 2004 (7:24 pm)
Forbes Magazine online recently posted a review of the LR3, written by Dan Lienert. It was balanced, discussing both pros and cons. I found it on the bottom of the forbes web site (www.forbes.com), with this URL: http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2004/09/20/cx_dl_0920feat.html I found it to be interesting reading. Light Cahill.

Does anyone know specific dates when the LR3 will be available for test drives?

My dealership told me it will be around 10/7. I like what I read but am concerned about the reliability/quality and resell of the LR3. Can anybody comment on those? Replies to this message: kullenberg (Sep 26, 2004 7:12 am)

I am very impressed by the LR3. But it seems too heavy at 5700 lbs. That's gotta hurt the performance, even with 300hp engine.
#80 of 82 Goodbye future vehicle... by grommet Oct 18, 2004 (1:11 am)
Last weekend I drove a production LR3 SE... one of the two the dealer received. It seems LR3 is now officially NOT a future vehicle. FYI: Thumbs up; I have little to complain about. Land Rover did a very good job.

If you do a power to weight ratio, you will find that LR3 is the weakest amongst Touareg V8, GX470 (with the new 270hp engine in 05), X5, QX56, SRX, and Aviator. I test drove one over the weekend and it felt that way too. However, it seemed to have sufficient power to get around town so I am not too worry about it. I am more concerned about the quality. Also it has a MOST (digital) bus that connects all the AV components and NAV system. I am thinking about adding a backup camera to it but it may be very hard to find after market kit for MOST bus.

OK, this topic will now be closed. We can join others in the long-term Land Rover Discovery/Discovery II discussion, or hop on board the Land Rover LR3 discussion.
