Off-Roader
I bought this car mainly to go off-roading. Lifted it 3" and put some 33" tires. I could see why people don't like their Disco's. It only gives about 14 mpg, prone to overheating and needing new heads or motor, bad turning radius, and a rattle here and there. I would not buy this car to drive around town. LR3's and LR4's are a very different story. They have improved and are very reliable. Once the Disco is off-roading the truck seems to be in the place it was designed to be.
Love This Car
Despite the mixed reviews about the Disco, I bought this car and have ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS. Reliability is supreme: My disco has about 65,000 miles on it & the ONLY problem I have had was a broken coolant cap ($125 to fix & replace). Safety is exceptional: I recently was side swiped on a busy & fast CA freeway & I barely felt a thing ( my car suffered minor damage and you don't even want to know what the other guy's car looked like :) And above all The dealership is pleasure to deal with. Since owning this car, I have vowed to never buy anything else, LR has this customer for life!!

So Far So Good
Excellent vehicle overall. Offroad abilities are up to it's legendary reputation.
2001 Discovery
This car is awesome!!! I haven't owned it for very long, but it's incredibly fun to drive. I don't know why people complain about routine maintenance- I did a simple oil change today with no problems. It performs well, its smooth, and its a TANK! I wish that the lights on my dash would go off, but it doesn't affect anything. Overall, a recommended vehicle if you have a little extra money for upkeep when miles get high.
ROVER LOVER
This is my 2nd Discovery.I had a 1996.I drove it from San Diego,Ca. to Shreveport,La. 4 times round trip. I bought it used in Birmingham ,Al. The same day a tornado hit the area,I drove through tornado winds,and rain back to Shreveport,La .The vehicle held the road perfectly.Years later I saw Michael Douglas in a Discovery 2 in the film "Don't Say a Word" and found the exact same one used.It's got the same beautiful gold paint.It turns heads everywhere I go.I put 18" chrome Mizotti rims and Falken tires on it.It's an expensive toy,but it looks and rides like you are royalty.
