Opinions on Land Rover LR2


My wife and I currently lease a Benz GLK350 and the lease is up soon. MB offered us a fair deal on a new one, but it's basically the same car, despite their claim that over 1000 parts have been changed, including the engine. We were thinking that the LR2 seems pretty cool, at about the same price for a base model which is plenty for us - well, for my wife actually. I get the Civic. Any LR2 owners out there? Also appreciate any input on the new X3 or Tiguan, which are also in the running.

Chayro,
My friend really liked the Evoque. Actually she wanted me to buy her one!!!
Anyway, my first thought was the same as yours plus I felt the sleek design would also limit the cargo space as if you needed to move a piece of furniture.
I felt the same when I first saw the Dodge Magnum.
They both do LOOK nice, though. Good luck with your decision.
@Bojack - you shouldn't care what kind of car I drive. I care, as I have to pay for it and drive it. @Mlawtm - We've had a set of Townecraft for over 30 years and they are incredible. Not a lifetime product, but a multi-lifetime product. Quite pricey, but supreme quality.
Never, never buy a crummy Land Rover, over-priced yuppy POS with lousy sound system, ugly to boot.
Schubert - As to your first comment, I haven't checked out the car yet, so I might end up agreeing with you after further research. BTW, do you have any experience with these vehicles, or is this just a personal bias? As to your second comment - apology accepted.
