Worst Car I ever bought
Landrover replaced the engine twice in my SE within the 1st 28,000 miles. The oil pan dropped out on a separate occasion, the driver side door window dropped into the window well in DECEMBER (a chilly ride to the dealership to get it fixed). Landrover tells me there's nothing wrong with the car since they are able to repair the problems. Problem is, I dont like being in the dealer ship every couple of months. Very dissapointing. I will NEVER buy another one.
A Real SUV
I just traded in my Grand Cherokee for the Discovery. If you want a "wannabe" SUV, get a Jeep (Do not believe their ads-Jeep version of 4X4 means that the wheel with least/no traction gets all the power and spins while others stay put---calling Discovery to the rescue) or a Ford. If you want a real SUV that performs well in the City but can take you places where others are afraid to go, Discovery is a must have. Unique looks are an added bonus.

Almost 2 years
With our two year anniversary coming up soon, it was time for a review. Absolutely love the Disco, wouldn't trade it for anything else. Yes it has had some minor problems, AC hose, leaky T-case, U-joints, brake check engine lights and a stuck T-case. None too serious but the stuck t-case was a pain, but I was able to repair myself. Replacement parts are usually dealer only, which are heavy on the wallet but I'll survive. Mileage is approx. 14 mpg in the AZ heat with a 3' lift and 265/75 16's. Everyone talks about reliability, but almost all trucks are the same. They give back to you as much as you give them. Rover On
A real 4-wheel drive
The Land Rover makes one thing only- SUV's. Unlike other SUV's, it is built with the frame, body, and suspension that makes you feel like you are in a sturdy machine. It does not drive like a boat, but instead has a suspension that hugs the road tightly. Every few months the Land Rover company sponsers off road events, that let owners really go out and learn what off road driving is about. So, for those who plan to drive in the city, stick with the normal, generic SUV's. But, if you want an SUV that will truly go anywhere, anytime, then the Land Rover is for you.
what happened to the rover?
This vehicle is said to be a go anywhere vehicle. Lately it has been a go to the service department. Three times in the last 6 months. Bring back the Defender the discovery has too many bells and whistles therefore more components to break.
