If you want class and like to have a vehical that you can rely upon at anytime, anywhere, then the Discovery II is the car for you. It also stands out from the rest and is a real eye catcher, it is perhaps built in England, but by Scottis Engineers and designers. Go buy one, and think of us Scots, who made this dream happen !! Cheers...

I had always wanted a Land Rover (I am an outdoor wannabe!). I still would like a Defender. This truck is all I expected. It looks good and is made with typical British workmanship, put together well with parts that always seem to be a bit inferior. I used to have a Jaguar and it was the same. My only big complaint is that the brake and accelerator are too close together. I am now used to it, but anyone who uses the car fresh could be in dangerous territory. My wife let her mother drive it a short distance. She hit the brake and accelerator at the same time (with the same foot) and ran over a mini-van and a handicapped sign! Fortunately, no one was injured. I love it!

Land Rover: no excuses necessary

A great 4WD vehicle, no excuses or apologies accompany this truck. Plenty of power on tap, build quality and fit and finish are excellent. Full time AWD/4WD systems takes to all driving surfaces without user input. My SD model has all the needed accesories such as dual digital climate control, electric seats, windows, and remote locks standard. I did add a towing hitch, which is standard on the SE. Very solid feeling during driving and manuevering, not at all sloppy. Rear seats fold easily to expand cargo room.

I've had my '02 Discovery II for four years and have put 40k miles on it - now has 124K. Very comfortable and great to travel in. Safe and secure in any kind of road conditions. Have used it as a truck on the farm - had it in mud up to the hubs and never took it out of AWD high. Great styling and a tough vehicle. Only mechanical issues were cam sensor, thermostat, window motor (just took one from a rear window) and purge valve sensor - none of which were expensive to fix.

I bought it my 02 Disco in 2006 and have now owned it for almost 5 years. A lot of people complain about the repair and fuel costs on this car, and they can be high. To own one, you really have to know how to work on it, or have a very trustworthy mechanic. Luckily, I have both! The car is unbelievable off-road -- just last month, I towed a 6000 lb trailer filled with construction materials through a quarter mile of Mississippi mud... no problem. This thing is a tank and unlike any other car on the road. I have had a few repairs, but mostly normal things (window regs, radiator, coil packs) - still need to fix "3-Amigos" ... all in all, I don't care about the cost, this thing is the best!
