The best Land Rover
Land Rover club member for years + owned past rovers so I have had a lot of exposure to Land Rover products and people's experiences. If you want SUV for the road only you can do better elsewhere. If you want capable off road vehicle that you can comfortably and reliably cruise continents in then D2 is your ride. Don't get ACE or rear air ride. Stick to coil spring model. It is fairly straight forward to fix, the galvanized body and all technical improvements make it huge improvement over Disco 1. Been driven off road for 5 years - up to nearly door handle deep water, deep forest mud, Rocks, Moab and Colorado trails. Now got 230K km. Great visibility with low screen. Discover the world.
Land Rover owners are patient people.
I loved the panache. I loved the snob appeal. I loved it's off-road ability and prestige. But man, this thing drinks a lot of gas and it's been serviced so much, the guys at the dealership know me by name. I was caught in a bad flood in Los Angeles while driving my Honda. Most of the surface streets and some fwys were closed due to flooding. From the corner of my eye I saw a Land Rover going through the water like it was nothing. "Someday.", I said. Today, I own two of these vehicles and it has been an adventure in and out of the dealer service shop.

Not as bad as its reputation
I felt this car had the best interior and 4wd system for the money when I purchased it. We have taken it off-road five times in two years and it does perform well. It is quite a bit less competent on-road and the seating position is noticably crampt for my 6'3" frame. Overall, it has been a car that I like due to a solid feel that transcends its old design and flaws.
A real SUV, not a metro...
I have owned 5 rovers now over the last 15 years, a Land Rover first, a series II, a Discovery, a Land Rover Contry and now this Discovery II. Mind you my first car was a Triumph TR6 back in 1977, so I "get" the British car thing. That being said, compaired to a boat, these Rovers are great. With an ocean going boat (long range, non coastal) you expect to have "issues". But you also expect it to be well found and basicly capable of what it was intended to do. That is what Rovers are all about. Expect persnickty problems but know that you are driving a world class very capable machine. This car can bail you out of many tough conditions, they truly are amazing in their capabilities!
