    The setting we chose gets the air suspension to its maximum height, changing ground clearance from a standard 6.8 inches to an extended 8.9 inches.
    Many sections of the trail were literally several feet of mud covered in two to three feet of water (a Range Rover Sport can officially wade through 27 inches of water), or in ruts more than three feet deep.
    ^ thats what i'm talking about

    I love my Land Rover, but the cost of ownership is one of the worst in the world. Unless you have DEEEEEEEP pockets and money to blow on repairs, do not buy a Land Rover of any model.

    This is true, and it causes a quick depreciation.

    Those were my thoughts exactly. Most of these SUVs will never be put to their full potential due to some overpriced golddiggin soccer mom driving it

    Oh yeah...

    I believe that Land Rover was ranked LAST in the 2006 JD Power initial quality survey. Porsche got #1, just ahead of Lexus.
