I have 190k on my Disco2 and other than normal maintenance issues this vehicle is great. It is my daily driver at 60 miles/day. It does terrific in snow and ice from a driving perspective with the exception of stopping....This beast goes anywhere. For those of you that are mechanically inclined, once you get below the skin, you'll appreciate the "beefiness" of the materials used and the quality of the bolts/fasteners. It is built like a machine. Don't know why so many people dislike this vehicle, but mine is great.
I liked it..

I loved it... I would say it was in the shop twice a year for something, but I loved it until it, quite literally burst into flames after getting stuck in a snow drift. Apparently there was a recall for the same symptoms but didnt apply to mine. Have to say that the lady at land rover was very polite and wished me a 'better day' but I am more than marginally concerned at the complete lack of concern shown by land rover.

I've owned this truck since new. My only regret is the resale value is poor, I'm only selling mine to get a newer RangeRover The 2001 Disco is at an great buy, provided you do your homework. The price is low because dealer service and parts are expensive, and everthing about the thing is complicated so you need a good mechanic. Be sure you get detailed service records to be sure it is in good shape. There are things that go wrong with any old SUV, like main seals and head gasket and tranny, good maint is the key to avoid these. Take care to check the Disco drivetrain to be sure it isn't ready to go. If you choose well you will get the best 4x4 ever for a great price.

Bought this truck from my uncle's dealership in Oklahoma while living out west of Phoenix Arizona. Did environmental work on an abandoned gold mine and wanted a truck to hold all my gear and make the experience fun. The truck is a beast when it comes to repairs, but nothing can match the unique style and upgrade abilities of a Land Rover. I have suspension work, racks, tires, and a whole list of additional upgrades. "Stella" might be a pain sometimes, but she gets the job done when I need her to. I live in a cabin in the woods of North Texas now and couldn't imagine not having my Rover. I am welding a new bumper for her right now. I'll drive her till she dies, then throw in a diesel!

It's a great off road vehicle with allot of power, expensive parts but if you are handy with tools it's ok. I replaced my head gaskets for about 220 plus 100 for the head rectifying. Replaced a leaking power steering pump gasket with regular gasket making cardboard, instead of buying the factory gasket and still hasn't leaked.

Don't expect a Lexus ride with this truck. She is amazing in the snow, heavy rain etc. You feel very safe- however any more than four people will be very cramped. The cup holders leave the radio and all temp controls unusable. Quirky placement of controls are annoying.Gas cap and glove compartment latches fail ALOT! Would buy again-not for a family.

This car is absolutely ridiculous. The gas mileage is dismal at best, the V8 has no power, and things keep going wrong. This was a bad decision. And its not big stuff- electrical problems, seats won't raise, sunroof stuck, engine vibration. But it's so hard to diagnose and expensive to fix!!! Run away!

This is my first foreign car ever; I recently sold my 3rd Gen Camaro for this truck. I have owned her for about 3 months and have put well over 5,000 miles on her. Yes, parts are a bit more expensive so do some research online for different parts and see if it is up to your budget. If not, than this vehicle isnt going to be for you anyways. It has many quirky buttons, positions of where the buttons are and there are some interesting flaws of the design. However, for the size of the vehicle its not all bad and it does handle much better than other SUVs I have owned in the past. Its a great truck, but I would bet that a person who knows about working on cars may enjoy it more like me!
Never again.

I purchased this usedwith low miles. In 4 months I have replaced the head gasket, wiper knob, and front drive shaft for a total of $3000. Now they want $1700 for a new water pump. I've owned just about every make of vehicle and I can honestly say this is by far the worst ever. I'm getting an Acura MDX.

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.

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.

Hello all- I purchased my discovery used (which I highly recommedn given the resale value). Land Rovers usually get torched by automotive magazines and cosumer reports, but my experience has been the complete opposite. This vehicle has all of the interior luxury you need with a unique body style. It has the british quirkiness but handles like a champ off road. It drives much like a truck on the road but handles suprisingly well for it's dimensions and heighth. I live near Tahoe and have driven it everywhere and back with and the beast does not flinch in snow or mud. Truly amazing experience in bad weather. I would recommend this vehicle to a friend or family member! Very safe and reliable!!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

The best suv ever made. Have owned for going on 4 years getting close to 100,000 miles. The only problem I have ever had was the driver side window regulator broke on me. I kind of expected that because it is my wife's daily driver, and she smoke a lot. No complaints here. Also thedealer is the best group I have ever dealt with.

I was drawn to purchase this vehicle for three reasons: the ability to drive in bad weather, the Land Rover cache, and the fact it was an SUV. Basically, I chose the Land Rover over other similar vehicles because I loved the Land Rover brand. However, I urge others not to make the same mistake and buy a used Land Rover. They truly are unreliable and very expense to replace parts. I have had mine in for service over six times in the last year. $4500 for a new transmission, $500 for new brakes, $200 for new windershield wiper control and the list goes on. Even though you might be tempted to buy this Land Rover for such a seemingly low cost, there is a reason for its huge depreciation.

After reading all the bad things about the Discovery, I bought it anyway. What a mistake, don't do it. This lemon has been in the shop 6x for the same reason. I tried to get LR to buy it back, they just gave me $200 towards more service. GREAT, thanks. If resale wasn't so bad I'd get rid of the darn thing. This was a certified too, soon as the warranty is up, I have no choice but to get rid of it, it would cost a fortune to fix. If you are over 5"10, be careful, not a lot of leg room. Very very disppointing.

My land Rover experience has been horrible. My vehicle has been in for non-scheduled maintenance 11 times in the last 3 years with multiple issues on each visit. I have unresolved issues with my vehicle that began three years ago that Land Rover has yet to successfully repair. Service is substandard. My vehicle has been returned to me unrepaired and I had to perform the service request. I had to make multiple visits to the dealership for the same issue before it would get repaired. Issues include: steering Box, rear differential, front & rear driveshafts, window regulator, anti lock brakes, fan motor, pwr steering pulley,... and the list continues.

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.

Though it's a fairly new car, it's outdated compared to the competitors. The 4.0L V8 (188 hp) is seriously underpowered but I hear that the 2003+ 4.6L version does marginally better. Fuel economy averages 14 mpg...the vehicle is just too heavy for the engine which causes you to really tromp the gas just to keep up in traffic. Expect oil/transfer case/transmission pan gasket leaks everywhere...long-term reliability has me a little nervous. Maintenance costs are expensive & more frequent compared to more modern vehicles. Expect around $900 for the 60k mile service. For commuting, any other luxury SUV would be a better choice. If I make 100k miles without major repairs, I'll be shocked.

The Discovery was a purchase that I thought over long and hard. The vehicle was bought in March and I traded it in July for a more fuel efficient vehicle. Upon trading the Discovery I learned that I had lost over $7000.00 in the short time that I had the Discovery. Overall the Discovery is a good vehicle for someone that is not concerned with the high maintenance costs, terrible fuel mileage, and finally a horrific low trade-in or resale value.

The maintenance on the Discovery has been a pain and extremely expensive. I bought the extended warranty for $2,200 and it has already paid for itself 3 times over. When the warranty runs out, I will be trading that car in as fast as possible. Plus the mileage is horrible (11 city, 13 highway on a good day) and the fact that it takes ONLY premium gas makes it much more expensive. Even if you try to put in Plus gas for one tank, the car starts vibrating. All in all, the car was not what I expected from a brand of cars that considers itself LUXURY.

I really want to love this vehicle, I really do, but I rarely have a decent stretch of trouble-free miles to feel good about it. Front turn signals and fog lights fill up with water. Rear hatch components corroded. Windshield washer nozzle is corroding and leaving rusty water residue on my hood. Air conditioner drains are always plugged, drenching carpets. Underdash panels fall down. The air suspension warning light goes on and off randomly. Had an air suspension leak that my dealer told me didn't exist. Every few days the vehicle would list to one side. It's fundamentally rugged, but you will be driven nuts by the little things.

This has been a pleasant surprise, I knew what I was getting into when we puchased this vehicle. I have to admit I was apprehensive at first, with all the negative remarks that I've heard and read anyone would. But since day one this rig has been a pleasure to drive, she gives me confidence everywhere I go. Yes she has some quirks but what vehicles don't. The build quality is excellent, though it did help that German quality control was at hand with the BMW ownership.

I looked around to buy this specific Land Rover. I wanted coil springs and solid (live) axles on both ends as I like to go four wheeling. I also wanted one I could easily hook a CLD up (center locking dif-transfercase) to make four wheeling a little better. The Hill Descent Control works well, it'll let you crawl off a STEEP mountain by using the ABS, you don't have to touch anything. Being it didn't have a CLD from the factory, it uses traction control to make the four wheel drive work, and it does fine, although it's less of a sure feeling then a true locking transfercase would be. It's one of the best STOCK four wheel drives you can get to go in the dirt.

I've had my discovery for over 7 months and 14,000 miles. The ride is quiet and firm both on and off road. I've driven in torrential rain, snow, on the beach and off road at a wheels event. The 4wd, ETC, and ABS are nice to have when on road conditions are not the best, this truck really sticks to the road. It is comfortable and great for road trips. So far this has been the best vehicle I've owned and the best dealer I've dealt with.

I LOVE my Rover. I feel very safe and secure w/my toddler anywhere we go, what-ever the weather. I will never feel comfortable in a smaller car again. BUT when it comes time to pay the piper, I pay BIG. Brakes and tires are very costly. "Routine" maintenance will drop you to your knees ($800 for 65k checkup!). It's an expensive car, so expect to pay for it. You will pay an extra $100 a month if you average out your repairs and maintenance and $200 a month for gas. Get the extended warranty!! I dropped a drive shaft @ 70k.

I had been looking for a new car for some period of time when I decided to give the Land Rover Discovery a look. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle and have had zero problems with it since I purchased it. I would definately purchase another Land Rover in the future when I am in the market for another car. In fact, we are considering a Freelander for my wife.

I have had this LR for 5 years now. Never had any major mechanical problems. Great acceleration and handling for such a large vehicle. Caveats are turning radius and braking. Built and feels solid. Most comfortable truck I ever owned. While somewhat pricey, I plan to buy another soon for my wife and keep this one until it dies out.

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!

Bought new from dealer, great price, and 5 yrs later it is still going strong. The only thing I have done is brakes, tires and decided to have the engine gasket replaced as a preventative measure since my mechanic saw a tiny spot. I consider that excellent for how long I've had the rig. I will be buying another LR next year - maybe RR or RRSport...

I'm very happy with my disco. I hope FORD doesn't mess with Disco and give it IFS/IRS like the explorder.

To those of you that are still on the fence, "This is a fun truck." Case in Point; Simply take one out for a test drive. Not only will you exprience the comfort and security, but you will notice the wondering minds of those around you as you roar by. Is that a Ford,Chevy,Cadi; No,it's a "Land Rover" as the winds of convert starts in their minds.:} simle
ok but could improve

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.
I love my Truck

So fun off road you can go through anything and the gel coat keeps branches from scratching the paint. Long trips are a great ride from the front seat, back seat is VERY unconfortable for adults.Great stereo, 6 change cd player. Sunroofs rock ! Feels so safe with my kid and dogs, surfboards, mountian bikes & kayaks.
