Most opinions on Land Rovers seem to come from folks who have never driven one. I bought a Disco II in March, absolutely flawless for 16,000 miles, unlike my 99 9-5 wagon which stranded me when the ECU died.
Tippy? False, Rovers just look that way, the only people that say that are spectators. Build quality is solid and superb, three steps down into a Jeep or any Ford Ex---. Was I nervous with the reputation? You bet, but 5 years of BMW ownership provided much needed improvement. Engine looks weak on paper, but with sport mode and a third gear setting, this high-torque motor keeps up with everyone.
Those cheap leases are for base vehicles, but even stripped this truck is fun to drive - it is, as far as I've seen, the only AWD with traction control as well - a plus here in Chad County, Florida. Feels like it has paws when you take it off pavement. My wife prefers it to the Saab, and my 2-yr-old son begs to have his seat moved into the Cheetah Truck.
