Lease it for 2-3 years only - Definitely NOT a vehicle that you keep for the long term (has way too many mechanical, electrical and HVAC issues…..

Yep that just about covers it for all of them out of that outfit just about as far back as i can ever remember.
You need to have two of them so you can always use one for spare parts.
Land Rovers and Range Rovers, the whole lot.

I had a 23 p400 110. It was exactly as advertised. Interior was wonderful leather. Awesome when it worked. Once a week the screen would go black on startup. Rear driver side door stuck due to faulty door seal. Wipers didn’t spray properly. I didn’t keep it but a few months but I normally don’t keep them more than 6-12 anyways.

If you go in eyes open they are cool. If you’re expecting a Japanese or even German experience look elsewhere.

I’ve had the 110 and the 90…no problems.
Had each for a bit less than a year.

A most luxurious place to await a tow truck.

Definitely don't want to own when out of warranty.
