I also have a Range Rover (not exactly known for reliability) and it has been perfect.
I am interested in what you would suggest KennyPowers when you said that you would pick a more focused and raw car for fair weather top down driving? I am open to suggestions. I will be ordering by October for a spring delivery.

I wouldn't own 2 cars at the same time with the exact same engine... You only live once, why own a SUV and a roadster with the exact same supercharged V8?
