Bought new in 2001. Love the unique style and off-road is hands down unbeatable. I only have 59K but have been really lucky. Did some preventative maint. by replacing the engine gasket and a plastic pully with a metal one on recommendation of my mechanic. Only use synthetic and mid- grade 89 since new. The only item that was replaced to date under the warranty was the master brake cylinder. Otherwise running strong. This thing can tow a freakin house!

We have had our Disco almost a year. What fun it is to drive! I have taken it to Canada and back to Colorado. Got really good gas mileage on that trip and I get better than quoted mileage in town. We had some minor problems in the beginning, but the dearlership worked with us and really went all out to get them fixed in a timely manner. I have owned other SUV's, nothing comes close to my Land Rover Discovery SE, or the level of customer service we receive at the dearlership. It is great looking, and easy to drive. This is the vehicle we use to get away from it all, because it can take you there and back with confidence. There is no other SUV like this.

Too small for me

I always loved the style of the Rovers, so I got a used one. Loved it at first, very dependable. The main issue I have with it is the interior space. I'm 6'5", 250 lbs. This vehicle is made for little European people. It's very difficult to get my child in and out of the car seat since the middle area of the car is extremely small. It's called the SE7 because it sits 7. But I don't know 7 jockeys to haul around with me. have to stoop to see a red light.

We have enjoyed our Discovery II more than we imagined. It is a truly unique vehicle, that turns heads. The handling in bad weather is excellent and exceeds any vehicle I've experienced. The build is solid and reliability has been good so far. Additionally, I have never had a better purchasing experience than when I bought this vehicle. Treatment in the service department has also been exceptional.
