Good: Immensely competent in all environments, from serious off roading and towing to motorways and country lanes. Handsome looks. Roomy, classy seven-seat
Bad: It's heavy and not very fuel efficient. Still suffering quality problems and demoted from four to three stars because of them.

Good: Fantastically able and comfortable over tough terrain. Better road manners than previous version. Strong image.

Good: The best-driving Land Rover, still very capable off road. V8 twin turbo diesel is strong and smooth, supercharged V8 quick.
Bad: Petrol eavy on fuel and not cheap to buy, even second-hand. Regarded as antisocial by quite a lot of people.

The things people love about its cars (4x4 capabilities, high driving position and, frankly, scale) are the very reasons others deride them as examples of pointless excess. Then there's an on going perception that its products haven't always as well made or reliable as they should be.
