Apparently so ...bearing in mind that this is their customer survey rather than Which?'s own opinion which is normally quite negative towards LR ....EDIT as indicated in this article.

Drivers love Land Rover, faults and all
It may have it's fault but the Land Rover is still proving popular

A FAULT-plagued Land Rover is one of Britain's most loved cars, according to the country's largest annual satisfaction survey.
The Discovery 4 has been voted third best in the Which? Car poll of 63,000 owners, published today.
The British-built 4x4 was given an overall 95.7 per cent satisfaction rating, despite scoring two out of five stars for reliability because of a series of electrical and other problems.
The car, whose list price starts at £36,785, was beaten by only the Toyota Yaris Verso, made from 2000-05, which scored a 97.7 per cent rating, and the Volkswagen Passat CC, with 96.4 per cent.
Which? Car editor Richard Headland attributed the Discovery's high score to a combination of "feel good factor" - and said customers were less concerned about its faults because it is still a new model and therefore covered by manufacturers' warranty.
He said: "It is a status car and people like its spaciousness capabilities."
However, Mr Headland warned that the model was still a long way from being dependable. Faults reported by owners included breakdowns, and non-engine electrics such as the stereo system, sat nav and sun roof.
Mr Headland said: "It has been on sale only since last August, so faults will be largely fixed free, with dealers providing a good service. I expect satisfaction is higher now than it will be when owners start shelling out.
"There may be a pretty marked change after three years, when people realise the cost of owning an unreliable car."
Motoring groups said Discovery owners appeared to regard the faults as less significant than its positive attributes.
Automobile Association president Edmund King said: "The Discovery 4 results show that an iconic brand, loyalty, style and practicality can be more important considerations to some drivers than niggles with electrics which don't affect driving." Philip Gomm, a spokesman for the Royal Automobile Club Foundation, added: "Land Rover is one of the world's famous brands and it seems proud owners are prepared to overlook apparent shortcomings for the sake of buying British and owning such an iconic vehicle."
