The first car i brought when coming to USA was a Land Rover. I needed something with head room ( i hate that feeling or being confined ) and it had tons of room for my cameras and lighting gear. But after just a few thousand miles it started making strange sounds, turns out the transmission was shot, faulty gearbox or some such crap $15,000..00 worth of work but done under warranty. Next thing was all the rubber around the windows started to rot or fall apart another $2,000.00 worth of repairs but again it was under warranty.
As soon as the warranty ran out i sold that puppy as i just knew it was going to cost a bomb to keep on the road. Oil leaks, overheating 16 miles to the gallon its an expensive SUV to keep running. I have a VW Touareg ( Toe Rag ) now and its far far better and i get around 22 miles per gallon out of it.
