Yeah, I had a LandRover once. The Freelander was the best driving, best handling, tight around turns, mini-SUV I had ever driven. And I tried out several. I was amazed with the thing. When I got it from the lot, it had quality everywhere and was well-designed ergnomically.
Unfortunately, poor workmanship in the wiring, heating system, and poor gas mileage was what killed it for me. By the time I turned it in after two years, it had already spent over 45 days in the shop and still was spraying antifreeze in the interior when the heat was on, the back window would go down on its own and eventually just got stuck in the down position, and the gas mileage seemed to be getting worse. It was a lease and the dealership couldn't fix it for more than about 4-5 days before it broke again.
Darn thing. I loved it to pieces until it broke. It was very schitzo. Now I drive a Jeep Cherokee.
But I can tell the author of this image loves his LandRovers.
