The SUV is a tank in the snow and is comfortable to drive on long or short drives. MPG around 11-14. Slow for a V8. It was just very unreliable. Bought it with under 50K & it was problem afetr problem. Very expensive to fix! Sold It!

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.

We paid $10,000 used , not knowing this was a 'status symbol' car. Sorry we are socially impaired. Amazed at how it could be covered in mud and dust just from normal use (we live in the desert) and still get ooohs and ahhhs over it. Weird we thought. It doesn't handle ice puddles, those broke out the bumper and the fog lights, it doesn't handle a real good ice. Granted it didn't have studs which would help any car, but it sat in the even driveway (no hills) and spun and refused to budge to get me get out of 3 inch snow turned to ice. Since this is why i bought the car, i was very unhappy. Parts are not simply a "little high" they are a nightmare. A plastic thermostat was $80.
Awesome 4x4

Haven't had any problem with my Disco. Whether on the road, or off road, this truck is a pure pleasure to drive.
But I STILL love my Rover

Yes, expensive to own. But look at the positives: Unique styling - especially when every other SUV on the road looks the same. Safety - not only do you feel safe, you are safe.The Engine and Powertrain will never fail you. The downside? $520.00 to repair the driver side window. Premium gasoline only. Expensive and almost monthly "little" repair issues. If you have a second vehicle as back up then you're okay. All in all, they are a dream to drive, but definitely a labor of love. Towing our travel trailer is not a problem at all. I recommend that you buy one, knowing that there will be small issues with them, but these days, it's all about keeping your family safe on the road.
