Reply With QuoteGuys - that sounds a little harsh.
I didn't take his posts in that way, and anyway I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt..... especially as he is a new member.

Go for it! They've ironed out most problems and the new ones come with terrain response and rear diff-lock as well. Wading depth is deeper as well. There's nothing like it - it does everything well whether on or off-road and the TDV8 is a peach of an engine.
They still make the occasional lemon though but these are thankfully rare.
Rumour has it that a new model comes out in 2010, what is certain is that a new 5L V8 (more powerful and economical that the current 4.4) is coming soon.
If you want a stronger tyre than the road-biased one it will come with, you can get the new Pirelli Scorpion ATRs in correct sizes. This isn't as aggressive as a BFG A/T or General AT2, but much better on rough roads (and wet grass!) than the standard items because of its stronger sidewall and deeper tread.

-I'll edit myself on this one as my original post was also rather unfair-
Our 2003 has been pretty good reliability-wise. Some niggles but nothing that i wouldn't expect to be fixed in the current models.
I wouldn't thrash ours though, it gets treated with respect, serviced properly and wants for nothing so i'd agree with the others that I wouldn't go for a $200k car if you're going to flog the nuts off it and leave a basketcase for some other poor sod to pick up the aftermath of when it has been handed back at the end of the lease.
Da BogMeisterFFS give it a rest people... he hasn't given you any reason to doubt his intentions so why acting like a bunch of *******?

Thank you all for your collective perspective, positive or otherwise.
The vehicle will be serviced and maintained perfectly as per our lease agreement. Like a mechanic would use a spanner, a company car is a tool to get the job done.
Unlike some owners of late-model Range Rovers, I do not intend to baby my vehicle around the city; I have also had reliability issues with previous Land Rovers I have personally owned. While dealerships have bent over backwards to rectify any problems under warranty, the vehicle was useless for weeks at a time on two separate occasions. Although I really would like another Land Rover, I cannot afford this on my company vehicle under any circumstances.
While dealers insist that reliability issues have been addressed, I am interested to hear what actual owners honestly believe. If members of this community do not believe this is the appropriate medium to explore this topic then please accept my apology - if an owner of an L322 Range Rover would kindly PM me their phone number I would gladly discuss the topic over the phone.
