I have just bought another Landrover (picked it up today) and will be doing around 2000 - 3000 miles a month in it. I have owned (well they were company cars before) 2 land Rover's before and my experience is that you could do with spending some effort to soundprooof it. The noise is the only thing that is a negative really, oh and the mpg is not too hot.
I have bought one with a few creature comforts as it will get a lot of use but essentially reduce the noise is my tip apart from the usual make sure you get a reliable one and maintain it properly.

We bought a Series 3 Ex-Military in 2000 and it's now our everyday car. We got rid of our "normal" car coz it never left the drive after that!
the fun factor far outweighs the noise/draughts etc.

Well, we went for diesel because (at the time) it was cheaper than petrol
Now it's the other way round.
If you go offroading a lot then diesels have better engine-braking on the downhill bits.
I don't really think there's much in it - they're not very fast, but if you want to go fast buy an R1!
