Land Rovers are actually pieces of shit. I have some statistical and anecdotal evidence that if you buy one, it will be in the shop all the time. My buddy's mechanic told him to never buy one as they are so poorly made. They also have some of the lowest initial quality ratings out there - I'd imagine that this probably doesn't bode well for long term reliability either.
For the record, I hate the Santa Fe. Hyundai is picking up their shit but they still have some dogs.
EDIT: Whose damn voice is in that commercial?! It is so familiar!
