2011 Land Rover Autobiography Delivers Rugged Luxury at $116950

Land Rover’s Range Rover Autobiography does what a Land Rover does best – it swaddles driver and passengers in finery and comfort while presenting to the world a mighty shell of hard, heavy, carved steel, suitable for fording rivers or plowing through snow in the daytime and puttin’ on the Ritz at dinners, social engagements or clubbing at night.

I should say I’m not crazy about SUVs, either. I walk fast, talk fast and tend to hit a dozen destinations every time I climb into a car.  Wrapping myself in 5,000 or more pounds of steel isn’t conducive to the one-man flash mob that describes my day-to-day life.

What I liked about the Autobiography was feeling as though I knew where my hood, rear bumper, doors and quarter panels were by instinct – and it happened in the first five minutes I had the ride. Its 5.0-liter, 510-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine whomped when I needed it to, but seamlessly sailed through lower gears at cruising or slow speeds via Land Rover’s CommandShift.

It weighs a relatively svelte 3200 pounds, too, so it’s nimbler than its brethren. I felt like I was navigating a much smaller vehicle, and barely felt a single crater, divot, pebble or coffee cup during the week’s test. Busted-up streets were smoothed out by the utter quiet of the Autobio’s cockpit combined with its mighty 20-inch tires, sport-tuned suspension and crisp, perfect handling.

Any compliments to the driver at the end of a trip had to include applause for the gizmos, though.

A Terrain Response system including Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control come with, and Adaptive Dynamics technology helps firm control through sharp turns. Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Brake Assist, available Blind Spot Monitoring, available Automatic High Beam Assist and an available Surround Camera System are all on the menu.

It’s high-end all the way inside, with a 14-piece wood veneer trim in the cockpit and other finery designed to please eyes, ears, hands, feel and nose.

Two gripes:

*The instrument cluster, made up of virtual dials and graphic displays replacing traditional instruments, is BlandRover.

*The 1200-watt Harman/Kardon audio system with 19 premium quality speakers kicked like a mule, sending crisp, rich bass and treble through the guts and feet as appropriate, but didn’t recognize my iPod.

Used Land Rover Accident

My daughter asked me this afternoon if I would keep my eye out for a Used Land Rover . The reason for this is because she has recently been in an automobile accident. Therefore, she is looking for a replacement for her Land Rover that was wrecked. It makes me sad to think that my daughter no longer has her Land Rover. She has been driving this particular car for quite some time. I know that she loved everything about it. I will stay positive and hope for the best when it comes to shopping for a new car for my daughter.

I discovered last week that the Used Land Rover which I have had my eye on for quite some time was going to be getting the price lowered. I was pretty happy about this because I have been wanting to buy this car. However, it was a little bit higher than what my wife would allow me to spend. I have tried to explain to her on several occasions that this is a great deal. However, she still seems to think it is too much money. Hopefully, she will approve of the lower price on this wonderful used Land Rover.
