Used 2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II Consumer Reviews
ok but could improve
easy to drive for a SUV
Great SUV, not like the generic pretend
I have owned my Disco now for 18 months and absolutely love it. It's a true SUV, not a 'wan-a-bee' like a lot of the 'others' out there. Great off road handling and pulling power for towing a trailer. Fun to drive around town also, and the good thing is, not everyone has one. I will buy another.

Not too bad, so far.
I just rolled over 30K miles. So far so good. I've got the usual beefs about mileage and performance, but so far, nothing major. Quality of workmanship is below that of most Japanese made, but well about every American auto I have owned. The only other downside is the tremendous drop in value since I bought it. Really, the wholesale on my 2001 Disco SE with SLS is about $21,000. OUCH!
So Far So Good
Only had the vehicle for a month now but really like it. Bought it certified so it's been great so far. Glad I got the performance package - a big plus on the handling. The gas mileage is as bad as I expected so no suprises good or bad.
Raising the white flag
I'm done! After averaging $2,500/annually in maintence and repairs the drive train fell out of the car at 80K miles and ripped thru the transmission! Leaks, lights, brakes. Always could count on at least 1 major problem per year with an an even more major repair cost attached. I will admit that in deference to the car's fabulous asthetic I overlooked lots, but this money pit has lost its appeal and I cannot wait to trade it in. Of course I will have to wait until its back from the repair shop!
