Interior Noise

Luxury buyers expect a lot for their money, including a quiet ride. Unfortunately, they’ll be left wanting by the 2008 LR2, as the six-cylinder engine can be clearly heard and gets downright raucous at high revs, tire and road noise creep into the cabin at higher speeds, and the suspension clunks its way over off-road obstacles. It’s easy enough to carry on a normal conversation amidst all the clatter, but for a Land Rover-badged vehicle in this price range, a quieter cabin should be standard equipment.
