A True SUV with Old World Charm
I have owned this car since new, and purchased it simply because i liked the styling. It was like nothing out there at the time. Well the car has proven to be very reliable and the interior has held up exceptionally well. It's one of the few SUV that DOES use real leather and real wood trim. Unlike the American or Japanese SUVs that use leatherette? and only a small 12"x12" patch of real leather; what a joke! I recommend this car to anyone wanting to purchase a very nice SUV, that you can own for many years and have the car perform, look good and unique. However, maintenance is not cheap. its very expensive, but the car is well worth it. the reward is a nice car that gets better with age.
Happy, Happy, Happy
Purchased this truck with caution because of some reliability questions from reviewers. Well, I can say that this truck has been in the shop for only regular service intervals(over 30,000 miles on the clock). I had an Explorer and boy was that a piece of #%$ %. I am very happy with this truck and it is what I expected and more. You can't ask a legit truck to perform like anything other than a truck. If you want a car, buy a car. I would definately reccomend it and would buy again.

There and back again, Safety First!
Bought this car new and have put the majority of the miles on it in adverse weather conditions, in the Teton, Sawtooth and Wind River Mountains. It has always taken my family and I along with all of our kit AnyWhere that we wanted to go. Often past the marks where other trucks had stopped to turn around. Eventually I passed it onto my son and he flipped it upside down in to a 6' drop with three passengers. No injuries. The integrated roll bar protected the cab from collapse with only minor structural damage. This is a fantastic rig if you need to know that you will push the limits and return unscathed...
Unreliable and Not Worth The Bother
I thought the LR Discovery was the answer to not wanting to drive a wagon, or a bus type SUV, however, Discovery has little "get up and go", is frequently in the shop, either for a recall, or to address some other annoying problem. I did not find replacing all brakes within the first 19K miles a sign of a well designed car, (for $1,400)and didn't appreciate the service manager jeering at my surprise at how often the car was in the shop. I was told all LR owners know they are supper expensive to maintain, and that you need a standby car, or second LR to fill the gap. I don't need another car (truck) like this one.
Great Truck - Mechanically (only)
This is all truck. The fit and finish of the plastic items both inside and out leave quite a bit to be desired. Many small parts and bumper cover cracks, internal fit and finish is below par for a vehicle of this class, though very comfotable seating and appointments, the creature comfort systems cannot be relied upon. Swithces, and molding are too easy to break. These negatives aside, it has been a mechanical workhorse, very reliable and can truly drive through anything. I would put my kids in it any day.
