This is definitely a vehicle that you would want to use off road. And, if you have any adults over 5'8" tall or 180 pounds, you can forget them getting into the back seat with any ease.

I have owned three different types of SUVs over the past 4 years and I can honestly say that no one comes close to Land Rover. From the appearance to the sold feel, this is vehicle turns heads. I purchased my wife this vehicle with some hesitation since I was happy with my Isuzu Trooper. From the moment I took it off the lot I could tell that I was driving the "leader" in SUVs. Since I live in Colorado the winters are harsh however, my Disco has performed like a champ in both deep snow and ice. I really feel a sense of security owning this vehicle and feel safe that my wife has a very capable vehicle.
Great Car

Lots of fun to drive, but too many quality issues--I would never buy a Land Rover again. Have had a major repair at every servicing. Took to 52,500 service (the service right afer the warranty expires) and car had blown a head gasket. Apparently, a very common problem with this engine. Watch out, Land Rover service staff will not notify you if they see signs that your head gasket is shot while your car is under warranty). The 2003 has a stronger engine, but if you have a 2002 or earlier, buy the extended warranty if you plan on keeping your car past the warranty period.

The honest truth is this vehicle will handle nearly anything you can throw at it with confidence and style. It may not be the best at any one thing, but it can, however, do almost anything from hauling kids, to cruising the highway, to trudging through snow and mud, to finding the most remote area of a forest, very well. The 4WD is uncompromising. The road manners are firm and in control. The brakes are intelligent and unrelenting. It will tow boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, anything, comfortably behind you. If you live an adventurous lifestyle, this is a great vehicle with some quirks or shortcomings that you might expect from a multi-purpose vehicle.

Awesome truck! A little less luxurious than most other trucks in this category. This is my second one and I am ready for my third. Fun to drive and roomy enough for a home owner. Everything seems to just fit into the cargo space.
love it

Went from a suburban to the discovery, love it for scooting about town. Bought it used and am scared of the 60,000 mile well-baby check up cost at the dealer. Otherwise love it and won't let my husband take it off- roading just yet, still my baby, but have no fear about it's 4x4ing capabiities.

A lifestyle car. Accept some strange issues in exchange for a very versatile and fun car to drive, and one that everyone has an opinion about. Stand out from the crowd and enjoy it!

I have always loved this car however I love it even more now that it saved my family. We were towing our travel trailer that blew a tire @ 65mph and rolled, causing the LR to roll (3x) as well and all of walked away!!! The state patrol said the LR was worth the money because any other car would have had severe to fatal injuries! When they sell the "steel frame" they mean it and we feel so blessed to have a fun but very SAFE car that saved our family!!

What can I say? I love this car with my whole heart. It was my dream to get a Rover and now I have it. This is not an SUV for those who really want a car. This is a go anywhere stout machine. It is a truck that rides well for a truck, but it is still a go anywhere piece. Only get this car if you have done your homework and know that this is what you want. I went in eyes open and love even the things that some will complain about.

After purchasing my Discovery I quickly learned why Land Rover was and still remains the kind of all off-road vehicles. Full-time 4wd coupled with a fantastic low range, you can virtually go anywhere your heart desires. In the mountains of Colorado, this is a great vehicle to have for all the changes in weather on any given day. Safety is paramount to me and I have not found any other vehicle that can get you places you never would imagine. I have added dual DVD/Navigation systems to enhance the sound system. I will run this SUV to the ground and go back again and purchase another! If you love offroading, look no further.

Have owned mine for almost 4 years, and still find it fun and cool to drive! It's a definite head turner, and it really does have its own character! Very solid on the pavement, and will climb trees with ease! I test drove an LR3, and I'll tell ya what, I already know what my next vehicle is gonna be! There are less expensive SUV's out there all over the place, but if you want a vehicle with history and reputation, Land Rover simply can't be beat! For the money, the ride quality is great. Gas mileage is poor, but if you want good mileage, get a Kia or Hyundai!

Just bought a 2002 Discover SE. Just what I expected... solid and tight with fit and finish becoming of the 40K price. Traded a very functional 4wd pickup for this sport ute and don't regret it for a moment. We'll see how it goes, but I don't expect to be disappointed.

I have driven small sports cars for almost 30 years. After a mid-life crisis I decided to buy a vehicle that is large enough to live in. It is heavy, luxurious and the only vehicle I've ever owned that I don't mind driving in the rain. Yes it's slow getting up to speed but after you're there it just goes. (I still have my sports car but the 'Beast' is much more fun to drive.)

I own one and I can't say how rugged this vehicle is. It'll put to shame other wanna be 4x4's. However, engine could use more power--much more power. Great vehicle overall.

I have driven most SUV's but the land rover has a certain appeal about it that makes you want to drive it all the time. Couple this with an excellent dealership mentality and this SUV is a winner. Its capable in all conditions and the height gives a great driving advantage in traffic. At 25,000 miles, I have had no issues and will definitely purchase again.

This has to be the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned possibly a hundred vehicles to include European spec Fords, VWs, BMWs, Nissans and American Toyotas, Vws, Mercedes, Fiat Chevy, Ford and all manner of GM products. The Fiat gave me fits in the German mountains where I was stationed back in the early eighties, the worst car ever until I bought this pile of garbage. I happen to be an ASE auto master tech and can fix anything. God I hate this disco II

Excellent vehicle. Powered to tow, goes anywhere (literally), makes an excellent fun and work vehicle. A few issues purchasing at 58K mileage (brakes, tires,thermostat), but the price was right and it meets all of my needs.

Guided by my wife, we chose to buy the landrover over domestic or japanese models. NEVER, NEVER again. Poor paint on delivery kept the piece of junk in the dealers hands for the first month. When we finally got to test the vehicle on a longer trip, ominous clunking noises from the transmission kept us from trying it out. Engine noise, horrible performance and terrible gas mileage are the price we are paying for keeping up with the Jones. The most disappointing thing in the whole landrover ownership ordeal is the truly horrendous way in which landrover ignores clients who shell out $40,000. I do hope it is not Ford who has set up their client relations department.
Great SUV

This is the best car I have ever owned. This SUV can do anything u can imagine. The interior design of the car is flawless. If you take a lot of trips with the family this is definitly the SUV for you. The premium navigation and sound system is amazing. Don't hesitate to buy this car. Besides a small problem with the rear cup holders this car has been very easy to own and operate.
all around well made 4x4

I have had no problems with this car. It is a great car but the only problem is when you put gas in in it you have to screw the cap and twist it tree times making a cranking noise. If you dont do it right or it is not enought screws, so it will say service engine soon and it annoying because your not sure but eventually it will go away but besides that its a great car, thanxs

I own a 1998 50th Year LRD1 I recently thought a LRD2 would be a good vehicle to own. WRONG! What a total piece of junk Land Rover! Everything is plastic. On my LRD1 everything is metal. Steer clear from any of Land Rovers prodcuts after 2000. The company is a bunch of total [non-permissible content removed] now that have no clue. Sold it and never looked back. I have so much more respect for my LRD1 now! Trust me you will regret it. They all are junk. Land Rover is no longer an respected off road manufacture. It's for [non-permissible content removed] that want to look cool.
