THE BEST

This is the 2nd LR I have owned. I am a used car dealer and I drive every type of suv and car out there and this is still the best. This truck has awsome offroad cap. The engine is builitproof (30yr old gm design)If you don't need an suv please don't buy one. Trucks like the rav4 crv pointless. If it snows you can get a car with traction control and do just fine and save alot of fuel and money or get over yourself and get a minivan or a wagon if you need the space. But if you love the great outdoors and need a real Truck you must get a land rover of any type or year the best 4x4xfar!

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.

Series II Big Improvement over 1st Disco

Great off road capabilities. Better transmission than the first series. Don't buy if you want a truck with car-like performance. Buy if you want off-roading and being up high. Love the openness. Dealership is the best I've ever worked with.

Junk Rover - The Vehicles Most Troubled

The interior design is great for a couple of adults (front seats) and a couple of pre-teen kids (rear seat). If you have to put a child seat in a rear facing or reclined position in the back, you have to move the front passenger seat forward and any adult will be VERY uncomfortable. If you need to fold the rear seats to use the vehicles cargo capacity, you will have to move BOTH front seats forward. Unless you are really tiny, you will NOT fit in the driver's seat... so much for "cargo capacity" The service is the worst we experienced (and we owned many vehicles ranging fron economy to luxury class). We service our's at Land Rover Encino and thanks to them we wish we didn't have this car
