This had been an excellent truck for us in the last three years. Very reliable and a blast to drive.

Fun to drive, very responsive on and off the road. Very well built, will go just about anywhere within reason. It's a blast. I am a hunter and it will outperform most stock 4 wheel drives vehicles off road. I have not had any problems with this vehicle on or off road. I would recomend it to anyone wanting a good all around on and off road vehicle. Love my Land Rover

I've kept this truck for 3 years now, thinking I've made my last repair for a while. All this just between 35k & 75k miles.... Window lift ($425) Radiator ($550) Seat adjuster ($200) Cup holder ($135) Major oil & coolant leaks ($1200) Speed sensor ($200) Blown valves ($2800) Depreciation falls faster than the Space Shuttle. I really enjoyed driving the truck when it was working, but reliability is dismal at best. I've been to several LR dealerships service dept. with mine, and they aren't sympathetic in the slightest. Also, they are usually backed up minimum of 2 weeks.
Love it but hate it

I bought my black '97 Discovery SE7 back in March with 72,000 miles on it and i LOVE it. No other vehicle looks or drives like it, and the two sunroofs are amazing. Reliability so far has been surprisingly good despite the poor reliability reviews, with no major repairs. My car now has over 84k on it and all i have had to replace was a window motor, not surprising since it IS a Land Rover, and a gasket. I guess a Land Rover is like a good wine, it improves with age? Or maybe just because everything has been repaired in it.

We have had our used Discovery for 2 1/2 years. At close to 50,000 (we bought at 36,000) miles, we have had nothing but trouble. A/C hose ($600), coolant leak ($800), window raising or lowering ($325), now head gasket problem (est. $2,000) -- all in 6 months. We need to get current problem fixed and get rid of it!
