Used 1996 Land Rover Discovery SUV Consumer Reviews
Best ever
This is the most fun, safe, and all around best vehicle that I have ever owned. You can do just about anything with this vehicle without the worry of somting breaking. This is why I love my Disco SO MUCH!!!

This truck is the absolute worst. It leaks oil like a sieve and drinks fuel like a camel. The windows and doors are made so poorly and the "Check Engine" light is on every-other day. I would not wish the torture of owning this car to anyone. I dread the selling of this car, as anyone with a thread of automotive knowledge will undoubtedly laugh at its condition.
Don't Buy A Land Rover!!!
I was totally taken in by the Land Rover marketing machine and believed that my SUV would be the ultimate go anywhere vehicle.Well my go anywhere SUV has taken me to the dealership more than all the vehicles I've ever owned!When your warranty expires plan on spending about $2k a year in service.It is a poorly made and engineered SUV gaining any sales from the marketing machine driving this product.Sorry if this review sounds bitter, I don't want anyone else to suffer needlessly and if I can save one person from buying one of these,I am sure that I will go straight to heaven.If you don't believe me check the Consumer Reports Magazine on these vehicles.I wish that I had!
Boy did I get suckered
The worst car I’ve ever had. I’m amazed at the rate of decline and the deterioration of this car with 60k miles that my salesman said “wouldn’t be broken in until it has 100k miles.” It’s been the most unreliable car. I’ve seen the ‘check engine light two times, the rear 02 filters failed and the brakes went out among others things. I told this to my salesman, Michael Kane, but didn’t hear a word. Not what I expected from a company that stressed ‘an excellent level of service.’ 3 years ago, my decision was either a Discovery or a Passport. The last 6 years, I’ve had 2 Hondas. Number of trips to the mechanic: 0. Number of mechanic trips for the Discovery, in half the time:3.
Run as fast as you can
Worst SUV ever constructed. The frame and body are built like a tank but everything else comes from a bubble gum machine. Example, they still use cork gaskets. Ah, that is why it leaks like a sieve and 3K a year in repairs minimum. Run, run fast in the other direction.
