You would think that a model would mature and would require fewer repairs as time went on, but I don't think any such logic applies to Land Rover. There wasn't much data on the other models, but damn...
There you go kids, run down to your local CarMax and nab yourself a 2008 LR3. Just make sure to pick up that warranty as well. Don't bother with a previous year, really get your money's worth on that warranty.

In statistics, "N" is usually the sample size. A small sample size can mean lots of errors or unusual stats that don't reflect real trends.

Ooh, I was totally thinking you meant I made a mistake somewhere. Yes, that's very true. This was more tongue in cheek.
Also, man, has it been that long since stats class? Damn.

Seconding that it's possibly small N, but given that an axiom of my grandfather's in the '60s and '70s was "Each new generation of Land-Rover, they "fix" everything except what was wrong with it ."...
Particularly this applied to the updates to the Series II->IIa, late IIa updates, and most significantly the III. "Fixes" often took the form of fiddling: changes to the gear ratios, upgrading the mixed synchro trans to one with a mix of good and shitty synchros, changes to the water pump bolt pattern without improving accessory mounting or the water pump internals, changing parts from bolt-on to weld-on (cost), gauge changes that monkeyed with the wiring harness, interior/dash alteration, etc.
