I love this truck. Great all weather and fun to drive. After a car accident few years ago, I was not feeling safe inside a car anymore, but with this car I'm having so much fun driving it and also feel very secure. Live it, love it, love it. Never going back to any other maker, that's for sure.

I have had this LR for 5 years now. Never had any major mechanical problems. Great acceleration and handling for such a large vehicle. Caveats are turning radius and braking. Built and feels solid. Most comfortable truck I ever owned. While somewhat pricey, I plan to buy another soon for my wife and keep this one until it dies out.

This is my 2nd discovery. My first was an engineering nightmare. My wife insisted after owning our 1995 for 6 years, we purchase a new Discovery because "I know they're much better now". Our 2001 was even worse. at 64,000 miles we replaced the drive shaft, $1,200. body parts falling off, $300. Head gaskets replaced, 1,400. Power window stuck down, $200. It's about worthless to trade in so I'm stuck with it.
I love my Truck

So fun off road you can go through anything and the gel coat keeps branches from scratching the paint. Long trips are a great ride from the front seat, back seat is VERY unconfortable for adults.Great stereo, 6 change cd player. Sunroofs rock ! Feels so safe with my kid and dogs, surfboards, mountian bikes & kayaks.
Fun SUV

I really enjoy this car. It's fun to drive and it doesn't look like every other SUV out there. It also drives like a REAL SUV, not like a CAR pretending to be an SUV. Other Disco owners will come up and talk to me when I'm out and about, and it really feels like belonging to a club or something.--I've never experienced anything like this in Houston before. They say the Disco is quirky, but even so I think it is a great car, and so far very reliable.

I'll keep this short. If you're looking for nearly the best vehicle off-road, this is your truck. However, if you have more money, you should seek a Range Rover. Whatever type of Land Rover vehicle you own, make sure your wallet can handle it. With expensive repairs (My front cup-holders were $73 to have replaced), poor gas mileage and a "boxy" body, it can cause quite a dent in your finances. All and all, if you have the money and want a vehicle that you can "show off" by being different, this is a great choice.
Great vehicle

I have a 2001 model discovery that I purchased new it now has 175,000 miles on it and other than replacement of the front drive shaft it has had no issues other than a brake service light coming from a faulty antilock brake issue. It is not the fastest vehicle in the world but it still drives extremely well. I wish all cars and trucks had the quality of materials this had. The interior looks still great and the leather is second to none. Wish my BMW had these seats.

Picked the truck up from my uncle while trying to find a Jeep I liked. Went in knowing the repairs would be expensive. With all the performance upgrades and off roading accessories, I just couldn't say know. Had do drop around 4 grand on the truck after working on the drive shafts, brakes, and cat converter. Spent even more on the suspension, rack, lights, tires and so on. Bottom line is this: The truck can go everywhere I want it to and offers more room and better storage than the Jeep would have. It's an expensive truck, but I like having the Land Rover history under my while I trail drive. Plus, you can't beat the look of a dressed up Rover.

Really didn't know much about a good deal from a buddy w/a dealership, However pleasantly surprised and have been down the premium expense isle to service it. I'm getting 17 mpg with 160k miles because I added a hydrogen generator cell on and the power this setup has added is STUPID to say the least. I am a kid in a candy shop with the added performance in horsepower so like I read in other reviews I'm going Disco until it dies. Oh Yeah I did have a head gasket leak and then it sealed itself up but after reading some reviews I'll replace it anyway other than that the truck is a beast!
Perfect for me

This truck wasn't exactly what I set out to buy, but I got a good deal, and have grown to love it since. We cold all use more efficiency, but people aren't kidding when they say that this thing can pull down a house. 7,700 LB. towing capacity in low range (Pulling down a tree or someone out of a ditch). Has enough power to get you and your gear up to speed in time but not racing speed. It's heavy, solid, strong, and safe. Most serious off- road capability of all SUVs and trucks. Mine is used for towing carpentry trailers and tools around in luxury comfort. I have 145000 miles on it and it drives like new. Buy a used one that has the bugs worked out by a previous owner and enjoy!
