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.

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!!

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.

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.
